    He has it in him, Jones didn't want to fight himself, which is why they both looked bad man.

      I was looking for the video, but this will do:

      Deezy (Sparks, NV)

      Winner of Dawson / Pascal? And would you like to fight the winner?

      Bernard Hopkins (3:26 PM)

      I think Dawson will win. I think it will be a close fight, not a knockout. I would like to fight the winner of Cloudy and Chad Dawson. I hope they'll fight and I'll fight the winner and unify the light heavyweight championship. Or, should I say, bring a stimulus package to the light heavyweight division. http://espn.go.com/sportsnation/chat...ernard-hopkins

        Dawson wasn't the ring champion and recognized champ. What is Hopkins supposed to fight for the IBO belt man?

          No, Roy Jones Jr was a much better choice.

            All it tells me is that Pascal can fill an arena in Montreal and Dawson can't get his own parents to show up at his fights.

            Remember that Hopkins recent negotiations have all fallen apart mostly because of $$$.

              He brought more money. Tha's all Hopkins is chasing at this point. He has wonmore titles than he needs.

                That's what I was thinking. I still favor B-Hop, but Pascal's style of lateral movement, posturing, and exploding would not good be too for him.

                Jones stalled and postured his way to a decision loss. RJ can't throw more than 40 punches and everybody knows it, and B-Hop couldn't get past the posturing and counter punching to push the pace.

                What Pascal does lack is the counter punching, which is why I would still put money on Hopkins.

                    Dawson has the backing of HBO... so it doesn't matter if he can fill up an arena or not, he's still making more money than every other Lt. Heavyweight, sans Hopkins.

                    Williams and Martinez can't draw for ****, but you best believe that they got paid good money for that fight with no title on the line and will get paid even more after it. Berto got paid more than a million dollars against Quintana and it's not because he's a draw.

                    That's why everyone wants to fight on HBO. They would've put up good money to make Hopkins-Dawson.

                      Hopkins is about money right now and that's it. That's why you wont see him fight Tavoris Cloud, Chad Dawson, but he'd be quick to fight guys with a fanbase like Pascal and Bute.

                      Hopkins doesn't think he can lose to anyone, he's just following the money. If Dawson could sell out 20,000 seats bhop would have fought him after pavlik. ****, the guy was trying to fight David Haye in England for crying out loud that should tell you something.
