Hopkins is gonna beat Pascal like it's nothing and show just how bad the Lightheavyweight division is. And on top of it, Dawson's stock will take a big hit.
That would be sad.
Historic events like a 46 year old winning title are good for the sport.
I was one of these people who was high on Tavoris Cloud because he seemed to close the Woods fight out really strong after struggling a little in the middle rounds and I even bashed Dawson for not fighting him. I think what the problem is with fighters like this is they are actually pretty good when it comes to throwing combinations and all that. But they don't know how to pace themselves. What runs through a guy like Cloud's mind I think is that if he doesn't score an impressive knockout then the networks aren't gonna want to touch him with a ten foot pole because he doesn't really have a strong contract with a big time network like a lot of these other fighters do. And the less often he fights, the worse he'll look due to ring rust and the interest in him will just keep getting lower and lower.
I do personally think Cloud is capable of possibly being a better fighter than what he has shown. But he better prove it soon and start fighting more often.
This is a good post.
When you're not engulfed in your own hatred for certain fighters, you can contribute to discussion.
