Comments Thread For: Schaefer Says: 'Hopkins Has Accepted Pascal's Challenge'

''cherry pick''

fighting the best light heavy and ring light heavy in the world is cherry picking?

come on man stop hating you are embarrassing yourself.

bhop would have schooled dawson easily, i like dawson but bhops ring iq is 100x

that than pascals and look how pascal took rounds with ease.

the man fought for 20 years, is world class, so he can be picky and choosey about his paydays and not fighting an unknown like dawson.


you all need to show respect, and more importantly, common sense.


the dude is 45, but you all want him to fight every young lion who is not even

established and will make minimal cash....

Excellent post

Yawn. Can we put Hopkins out to pasture yet? I mean really I'd rather see a Dawson rematch, a fight with Bute or a fight with Cloud. Pascal-Hopkins has all the makings of a stinker. Why does everyone continue to call out these old men

Hopkins may even K.O Pascal...

Good fight, I'm picking Hopkins by decision.

We all have our own opinions and Pascal is by no means the best light heavyweight in the world. If Hopkins thought he could have schooled Dawson so easily why did he not take the fight as quickly as he took Pascal? Dawson had been calling him out for years and not a peep from Hopkins. Pascal bruises haven't even healed and Hopkins wants a fight already.

Obviously Hopkins knows who the better fighter is.

For the record I don't think Hopkins would school Dawson and there is a chance he knows that Dawson would be a bad style matchup at his age. However, as he's stated, he may simply come down to money. Dawson can't even attract fans in his own home state. There's a reason why Dawson, the man at 175 at the time, had to go into Pascal's backyard. Hopkins has also shown interest in Bute and I imagine it's for the same reason.

why would bernard fight pascal but not dawson?

Pascal is very beatable
Hopkins knows this
He also knows that Dawson on his day is a tougher matchup.

Hopkins wont beat Pascal, he is to fast for him..

Hopkins losses all come to fast boxers and Pascal is no different.

kids .. What do they know

If WBC/IBO light heavyweight champion Jean Pascal is looking for a fight, he may have found one in the form of Bernard Hopkins. On August 14, Pascal won an eleven round technical decision over the fighter most experts considered as the top 175-pounder in the world, Chad Dawson. Folowing that win, Pascal called out several names - including Hopkins. [Click Here To Read More]

All this kids think.that beating HOP will show their level of skill, then to discover that skill has nothing to do, they learn that HOP is all about tactics, dirty most of the time. He should rematch Dawson instead.
