Hopkins has performed better against three opponents on Dawson's record.

People who say Hopkins is scared of Dawson are a joke, the reason Hopkins hasn't been reluctant to fight Dawson is because Dawson can't draw for sh.it and B-Hop wanted to fight somebody that brought in more money (Pascal, even an old Roy).
Dawson has way too many flaws that Hopkins can exploit. He has a ton of skill but can't put it together smoothly, and like Pascal he only fights in spurts and flurries. I also think Pascal hits way harder. I noticed last night Dawson is a type of fighter who doesn't know weather he want's to be a defensive counter puncher or an aggressive pressure puncher that gets him in trouble. With that said I do think it's a tough fight for Hopkins but a very winnable one even at his ancient age.
You do realize Golden Boy lost money on that fight, right? HBO didn't even pick that fight up. Hopkins is a dumbass for fighting RJJ.

Used to think that, not anymore, then again B-Hop's only getting older soDawson is all wrong for Hopkins. Dawson would beat Hopkins. And, B-hop knows it, that's why Hopkins will never get in the ring with Dawson.
But, I don't blame B-Hop and I'm OK if he doesn't fight Dawson. He's 46 years old, He's a legend and has nothing left to prove in the sport. I would give him a pass for not fighting a young skilled fighter like Dawson who's a bad stylistic match up for him.
