    This is how pathetic boxing has gotten. A 46 year old Hopkins fighting is exciting.

      Not much to pick from tbh. Both are dismal.

      The Pascal loss wasn't shocking if you were paying attention. I knew he'd be too dynamic and young for Dawson.

        Hopkins never clealry lost. Dawson got stomped on, and was losing BIG, in the eyes of his friends and familly nonetheless.

          I think this fight is ok, it will probably be Hopkins last fight. If he manages to beat Pascal he can retire after an hopefully good performance and if he loses (which i think he will) he can also retire (which i think he won't).

            Tarver - Very good win... but 4 years ago

            Wright - at 170LBS... really?

            Calzaghe - Sure... but he didn't win?

            Pavlik - MW Champ at 170lb catchweight

            Ornels, Jones - Really?



            Johnson - Top 3 ranked LHW

            Tarver - Top 3 ranked LHW

            Tarver - Top 3 ranked LHW

            Johnson - Top 3 ranked LHW

            shocking loss to Pascal. - Top 4 ranked LHW




            Just the NAME of the fighter doesnt distinguish a better win

You would have thought that the PPV #'s from the Jones/Hopkins fight would be an indicator of who the public isn't interested in.
              I still don't know how he has any fans. It's not his boxing style must be some sort of man crush.

                  like a Pascal-Hopkins fight if Dawson rematch not happening
                  the right opponent can make Bernard exciting
                  Pascal should bring out what good Hopkins has left in him
                  if not, he will put him out for good with a loss
                  prefer Cloud or Dawson, maybe Bute, but Hopkins is ok

                    Hopkins was the underdog for all those fights minus the last two. take that for what its worth. Officially Hopkins didn't get the win against Calzaghe, but many disagree, close fight that could go either way. I casn't say the same about Pascals clear win over dawson though. We all know that the 2008 Calzaghe was also lightyears better then Pascal.

                      He is damn good at what he does but can be awful to watch unless he has a come forward opponent in front of him.

                      The Ornelas fight was pretty entertaining though
