[kingfaze19]

hopkins will fight dawson if dawson talks some trash, bhop has alotta pride, hel take the fight, destroy him and move on.. but i agree with hopkins, he doesnt gain anything by beating dawson, they will say oh hes too inexperienced , too young ... hes fighting ro jones cuz roy been talkin ***** since 1993, hes been holdin his breath for 17 years and finally roy grew some balls and signed the contract, too bad hes a piece of junk now, but bhop just wants a W with jones name on it

Dawson strikes me as too classy a guy and actually seems very humble for being the best 175lber in the world today.

Its actually what his problem is even though him not being a trash talker is what I like about him in addition to how skilled a boxer he is, ppl just don't have much interest in him because he doesn't say outlandish things on camera and does his talking in the ring rather than outside of it.

I think perhaps if Dawson gets knocked out it would make the fight more appealing to Hopkins.

Honestly, I don't blame Hopkins for not fighting Dawson because Dawson is good and B-Hop is not young anymore. Hopkins deserves an easy fight or two before hanging them up.

I hate how its an acceptable excuse for what was called ducking but is now a good business move.

Exactly!! Very well put, Spray.

Bernard Hopkins is a legend, he does not need to fight Dawson. Every Dawson fight is boring as hell anyway.

Hopkins vs Haye is a much better fight and I hope it happens.

B-Hop is my hero!!!!!

Hopkins is too old to be fighting Chad Dawson. He would probably lose to him at this point in his career.

Plus Dawson already gets too much credit for beating OAP boxers as it is. I would hate to see him add Hopkins to that list.

Hopkins needs to fight Roy and then retire.

Some fights are never meant to happen. One of those fights, at light heavyweight, is Bernard Hopkins vs. Chad Dawson. It really doesn't matter if Hopkins and Dawson are successful in their upcoming fights, a potential showdown between the two of them will never happen. Why? Because Hopkins doesn't see any value in a fight with Dawson. [Click Here To Read More]

im dissapointed in hopkins for saying this

Dawson is high risk for Bernard and i think he feels like he's coming to the end of his career now. He wants money and big fights, nobody wants to face someone with that kind of speed at 45 years of age.
