[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

A record crowd of over 17,000 people gathered last Saturday at the Bell Centre to see Bernard "The Executioner" Hopkins, 46, defeat Jean Pascal to become the oldest world champion in boxing history, eclipsing the previous record set by George Foreman. Afterwards, Pascal, 28 expressed interest in a Hopkins trilogy and said "this is not the end, this is only the beginning," while Hopkins expressed interest in returning to Canada to face Montreal boxer Lucian Bute, but the IBF super middleweight champion is under an exclusive deal with Showtime. Hopkins has a two fight deal remaining with HBO, including an upcoming fight against Chad Dawson. According to CEO Richard Schaefer of Golden Boy Promotions, a Hopkins-Dawson clash could possibly take place in Montreal.

Duh, neither of these 2 clowns have any fans who are willing to pay to see them fight! Why do you think BHOP was so happy? If this fight happens in USA there would be like 3000 people there, and 90% of those would be free promoter tickets.

yep... hops vs dawson, with pascal and other canadians on the undercard will sell... hops/dawson can't sell on it's own

[americanbot]

now hopkins is looking to face dawson while approaching 50?....

hopkins is waaaay ahead of pac on the ATG list (sorry pacfans)

[Walt Liquor]

have bute fight on the same card and face the winner.

dawson-bhop gonna be boring. dawson is easy to figure out now too, he's much simpler with manny's influence

[ИATAS]

have bute fight on the same card and face the winner.

Makes perfect sense but sadly it can't happen since Bute has a 3 fight deal with Showtime and this would be HBO.

dawson-bhop gonna be boring.

I know... shame too since hopkins had two exciting fights in a row and created a good buzz around him right now. This will be a whole lot of posturing and feinting for 12 rounds

Put Pascal vs. Cloud on the under card and you got yourself another great showing from the fans.

[IronDanHamza]

I think Hopkins can beat Dawson. Make it happen.

Dawson
Bute

Farewell fight.

Retire.

I believe in Bernard!
