Comments Thread For: Bernard Hopkins Says: It's Me and Chad Dawson Next

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Last Saturday in Montreal, Bernard Hopkins became the oldest fighter to win a major world championship as he claimed the WBC light-heavyweight title after defeating Jean Pascal at the age of 46. Hopkins wrested the WBC, IBO and The Ring magazine titles from his 28-year-old opponent, who was making his fifth defense at the Bell Centre.

No hating on Bernard because he's legit, but why a year or two ago when Dawson was undefeated was Hopkins screaming "I don't need to be fighting any young lions at this stage in my career."

Doesn't make sense to me except that Dawson lost and does look beatable now.

Either way, good luck Hopkins, it would be cool if you pulled it off again.

Um, he had the chance to fight Dawson when he was undefeated, remember? I didn't "damn" anything, those are your words. I like the fight.

Hopkins is just BSING, this will be to make some quick cash, all that BS he spouted saying "I saved the best for last" and "Im going to give the most exciting fights of my life" is all BS. Pascal was tailor made for him, a young dude who has power but doesnt know how to use it that keeps coming forward. He played Pascal perfectly and it was kinda an exciting fight by BHOP Standards (Usually his fights are Insomnia Cures) .

I wouldnt be suprised if this was the most amount of money he made in his career from the gate cut and will look to fight in Montreal again. I think he might go in with Dawson but go back to his usual 12 rounds of running/clinching/dirty tactics and either lose on points or win on points.

Their plan was never to make it an exciting fight, in round 2 or 3 ****m was screaming at BHOP to just "Clinch".

I have a feeling BHOP is very happy with the amount of money he made in Canada and will try to end his career here against some big names because he will make ALOT more cash than down south. If you put a Pascal or Bute fight on the card the place will be packed again. If the Dawson-BHOP fight was in America there would be like 2000 people at some Indian Reservation or at Home Depot Centre in Carson.


BHOP knows this is his time to make the best money of his career, I just hope people didnt get fooled by his "Exciting fight" promise. You cant teach an old dog new tricks.

The fact that Dawson goes 30 seconds without punching/ he's as passive as they come, Hopkins can win. Not all that excited about it but it's a fight that needs to happen in the LHW division.
