Richard Shaefer: We don't want that boring fight(Dawson Fight)

[KnockUTheFukOut]

Did Dawson UD Pascal?

NOPE...I think he would if they fight again though! But don't even waste your time with that TRIANGLE EFFECT BS

because Hopkins lost to Jermaine Taylor TWICE but then turned around and DESTROYED the guy that Beat Jermaine Taylor TWICE in Kelly Pavlik


That Triangle Effect BS is only for fans who are looking for something to REACH FOR during a DEBATE but IT MEANS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!

[Left Hook Tua]

I didn't mind the first Pascal fight.

1st fight was ok.

[The Gambler1981]

1st fight was ok.

The Tito fight was pretty good, although it was kind of depressing since I was watching with a bunch of Puerto Ricans.

What triangle effect? Pascal beat Dawson. At the way, Chad was fighting tonight, I HIGHLY doubt Chad would beat Pascal again.

[BattleAxePurist]

I don't disagree at all, Hopkins don't want to fight Dawson, HE NEVER HAS...not saying he scared of Dawson or anything like that I just think Dawson style would make Hopkins look his AGE and he knows that, Dawson is TOO QUICK AND SLICK for Hopkins to be chasing him around RIGHT NOW!

like I posted, Hopkins had NO DESIRED TO COME AFTER THOSE BELTS when Dawson was Champion...THAT IS A FACT! Dawson was calling Hopkins out FOR YEARS!

Not fighting someone because they are BORING is a HORRIBLE EXCUSE that some of these fans are TRYING to use

The man stepped aside and allowed Hopkins to get his Rematch, it is only right that he gets a shot AT HIS TITLES!

if pac@ may get bashed for the same thing why not bhop

styles make fights and pascal is limited why do you think bhop jumped up when he heard his name from someone he saw something in

i do think HBO will make this happen though
bute is under contract w/SHOWTIME anyway

[BattleAxePurist]

And if Bhop beats Dawson i'll be the 1st to tip my cap.

[King Ju-Ju]

Cloud needs to get in the mix. Hopkins-Dawson, Cloud-Pascal.

[Eastbay Giant]

Chad Dawson spends too much time admiring his combos, and how he slips punches instead of making fight fans WANT to see him fight. B-Hop may be right, and Chad needs to avenge his loss to Pascal 1st.

[Khmelnytsky]

Hopkins NEVER HAD INTEREST IN FIGHTING DAWSON

the dude did step aside and allowed him to get his rematch with Pascal though so he DESERVES his shot and a chance to regain HIS BELTS

at this point I don't think Hopkins gives a **** about those titles so he could easily drop it and go fight Bute...as much as I think Dawson deserves a shot and a chance to get his belts back, if anybody earned the right to cherry pick his fights...IT IS HOPKINS!

So I say let Hopkins go do what ever he wants to do and vacate those Belts and let Dawson and Cloud or Dawson and Pascal still do a rematch and fight for a chance to get their Belts Back

all the HATE Dawson gets, I still think he is the most talented fighter at 175 and he UD's Hopkins or Pascal or Cloud

Cloud-Dawson would be very competitive i think. Diaconu while undersized really isn't an inside fighter. Cloud's D is decent, he has a much higher workrate than Diaconu, and most importantly he's a pressure fighter that wants to be inside, stay inside, and throw combo's.

It is amusing for Hopkins to try and discrimminate against Dawson's style when Hopkins himself has probably only been in about 5 remotely exciting fights his whole career.

Against Bute Hopkins will fight a typical boring "Hopkins" fight complete with excessive clinching and spoiling since Bute's most obvious flaw is his inside game. If Hopkins tried to fight on the outside throwing combo's and exchanging like he did vs Pascal he would get stopped vs Bute.

[Ko King 212]

The hat that Dawson gets is unbelievable. B hop knows it would be a tuff fight for less money. That's why he once overrated azz bute.

If Hopkins dont want the fight let him drop the belts and fight bute. Let Chad fight somebody else for his belts.
