Comments Thread For: Bernard Hopkins Trashes The Idea of Facing Chad Dawson

[Boxing Scene]

Hopkins isn't going for light heavyweight titles anymore. been there done that. he makes a lot of money of Jones, about three times what he would have made against Dawson. he then can fight green in a fight where he would make twice what he would earn against Dawson, or fight Haye in a fight where he would make twice or three times what he would make to fight Dawson. The man is 45 has secured his legacy and is an ATG, he wants to pad his pockets now.

He secured his legacy by losing to Calzaghe 5 years after he should have fought him? Been there, lost that....and to a white boy.

The only thing Calzaghe beat was air. No one knows who that guy is.

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

I love how some experts on here think it took Jones growing balls to make the fight happen ..... comical.

60/40 I whip yo ass. All he had to do then was take 40 and it was done in 2001-2002.

It seems like you are drinking the water Hokins is selling to entertain such ridiculous things. Why would Roy be fearful of facing a guy he already beat easily with an injured right hand? Get real.

Side note: I bet Roy would fight Dawson. (neither beat Chad at this point though, no way.)

[Mr. Invincible]

that isnt it.
at 45 the money would have to make sense, and with chad it doesnt.
chad is a talent, but he doesnt have a huge following, he doesnt sell out arenas and is NOT a ppv fighter.
at 45 hop has earned the right to pick and choose.
and to be honest, i think hop would be a hard fight for him, hopkins is a ring general, he wouldnt be chasing chad, but have chad chasing him to score points while all along setting traps for him as we have seen so many times.

So what? Whatever happened to fighting to be known as the very best? I'm afraid nobody has claim to the LHW throne without first going through Dawson. Calzaghe included.

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]

LMAO@ B Hop thinking beating a 40 year old Roy Jones does more for his legacy than beating Dawson

[Lorily]

he was talking about Tarver. He said Tarver lost to a middleweight and then went 1-1 against Johnson.
Thats how i took that statement at least

I think he was referring to Dawsons 2 fights against Johnson, that basically everyone really thought Glen won the first fight. So basically he's using the triangular theory by saying Johnson really beat Dawson (1st fight), a guy who he (Hopkins) KO'd(Johnson), who (Johnson) lost and won to Antonio Tarver, who he (Hopkins) beat (Tarver) by UD. I can't stand it when boxers use that theory as a reason why they don't need to fight someone.

in all fairness it does tho..sure Dawson may b the better fighter of the two but since Hop did lose once to Roy to get avengence would b better for his legacy than to fight someone w no history of beating or getting to Hop..now to say he may b more respected after fighting Dawson would b more correct but legacy wise it is best for him to try and take out Roy

[Sweet Jesus]

When I come back from class I am going to rip Hopkins apart in a new thread. Literally rip him apart.
