Hopkins has a reasonably good shot at beating Bad Chad...

[$Bullsfam$]

I know the popular opinion is Bad Chad would smoke Pascal in a rematch but most likely Hopkins will probably ruin his chance at doing it anytime soon because frankly I don't think Pascal has the jab or heart to beat Hopkins. Because a high work rate is a good way to beat Hopkins but then Hopkins would just rough him up with his savy dirty inside game that would cut him up and make him fold IMO.

But thats not the point. I know a lot of people think Chad would beat Hopkins but I'd say Hopkins has a very good chance of taking that upset too. But I think it's pretty easy to beat an old past it defensive fighter like Tarver because he's pretty much just a younger version of them but I think Tarver had more power. But Dawson was younger and faster. And when he is active Glenn Johnson almost beat him the 1st time, then when he got defensive he beat him convincingly.

However, Dawson might be able to use the jab to beat Hopkins like Taylor did but I don't think he's active enough to really clearly beat Hopkins. I think Hopkins might rough him up a bit. And if he's not active and lets Hopkins set the pace then the fight is already half loss.

I think that would be a really close fight. Might be ugly but I don't think there would be a clear winner. Hopkins never gets dominated so I definitely could see a split decision.

that old bastard is f*kking ageless man. idk if he will win the rematch. nothing pascal did in the first fight maks me feel like this but i just think hopkins wont have it in him this time around to perform as good. if he does though, i would like to see dawson vs hopkins or cloud. t cloud would test bhop more then the other two. hes a ****er. prime hopkins would rip him up but this isnt prime hopkins.

O most definitely because Cloud has more ways of winning a fight too. He can knock you the **** out or box his way to a decision. I love watching Hopkins though because it's like watching modern day rocky movies haha. I just think Pascal is kinda copping out already with the steroids accusations. Seems like he's already trying to come up with excuses.

I like Chad but yeah B-hop is a spoiler and has the ring smarts to ruin anyone's gameplan, he could beat Dawson especially if Dawson has a low workrate like he did against Pascal.

I still to this day don't know what the **** was with him that night, he just didn't seem like he cared to even be there.

pascal knows he got his ass whooped the first time. i dont like him too much. i think chad should have beat him. chad lost that fight more then pascal won it. befre they signed for him to fight hopkins, i wanted him to fight cloud so he could get knocked the **** out.

dont think dawson had a low work rate vs pascal...he was pressing the fight the whole time and was willng to exchange , the only time ive seen him not box....i think he bought pascal's BS about running like a chicken , and guess what, it was pascal who ran like a chicken....lol..it personally think he gave out the advantage just to prrove a point.....

neither threw very many punches at all, it was a pretty bad fight regardless of who you wanted to win.
