even if the fight should happen, what's the point if hopkins wins and won't fight dawson? hopkins will just end up freezing the division again.

also, if hopkins didn't like getting rabbit-punched by RJJ, he's not gonna enjoy getting headbutted by pascal in his own backyard. I don't think the ref is gonna go easy on hopkins if he takes 5 min breaks each time he gets fouled. either the ref is gonna stop the fight because of all the complaining or he's gonna take a point away from hopkins for delaying the fight.

interesting. i think i will happen, but here in the states. pascal has been saying he wants to invade america lately and now is his perfect opportunity. that being said i have hopkins by 10th round tko.

thats a total strawman argument................... nothing more.

pascal doesn't want any part of hopkins, not anytime soon.

but the fact of the matter is, there is no one right now other than hopkins that the people want to see pascal fight.

no one other than dawsons delusional diehards wants to see pascal dawson 2, not before pascal hopkins 2. and that seems pretty obvious, for starters, the hopkins rematch has drama, there is more on the line, the fight was a good fight and entertaining through and through, but the bottom line there is, that fight will generate more money than a dawson fight, and thats a fact.

so unless pascal wants to take less money, even though he might get the lions share of the purse it wont be the same as a hopkins rematch purse, a bigger purse and more money would be thrown out at the hopkins rematch. even if the fight were in atlantic city, but we all know, that if the rematch happens it will be up in canada in the same place, just there will probably be more focus from hopkins team on who and where the judges are from and their world title fight credentials.....

dude....... and the idiotic claim about hopkins and headbutts not wanting them and taking time from receiving them, obviously no one wants a headbutt, but, what a crock of schit, seriously. first of all hopkins got nothing but hit in the back of the head from pascal all fight long and headbutted and didn't bicker or complain once. all the while pascal was trying to flip some schit and say hopkins was dirty when they fought which is a cowards cry at that point, or sour g****s because pascal knew he lost to the old man.

to say it another way, hopkins wants this fight, and i don't think he will let money stand in his way, hopkins too, although he probably wont admit it but he too knows that pascal is the draw, but pascal fighting hopkins adds more to the draw and hopkins knows that as well.

all the claims you're making, i see pascal and his team making, because again, as it goes throughout hopkins career, win, lose, or draw, when you fight against him, it's a tough fight that you never want to go through again. roy jones didnt' want to rematch hopkins, not until it was the only fight available, calzaghe cried and made up a bunch of crap as to why he didn't want to rematch him. tarver flapped his gums but never wanted to make it happen. taylors career unravelled after fighting hopkins back to back. trinidad had the fight taken out of him by hopkins.

to sum it all up, pascal will avoid hopkins like the plague and pull all the crap you're saying hopkins will do......... he already started doing it immediately after the fight in the post fight interview.............
