If Bernard Hopkins beats Dawson...

[stefl14]

... how great would that be? The veteran just doesn't go away! Disregarding the loss he took in his first fight, he has only lost convincingly once, and that was to Roy Jones jr, and it was still a close fight. There is absolutely no shame in losing (and making it competitive) to Roy Jones jr who was nearing his prime at the time. Since then, his losses have been controversial and close, he has never been dominated. Mayweather and Pacquiao, as good as they are, are always favored over their opponents. Bernard Hopkins has won as the underdog many times, whether you like him or not. Some people hate him, some love him, but he is a legend and probably my favorite fighter. If he beats Dawson he deserves even more respect!

Wouldn't say great, it'd be a good win.

Great is the wrong word. What I meant was that it would be pretty amazing for a man of Hopkins' age to overcome the odds again and beat yet another top level fighter.

If B-Hop beats Dawson it will be yet another feather in his cap. However, I think Dawson beats Hopkins.

[Tamis!]

Great would be the word considering Bhop's age and yet he exceeds expectations.

Good would suffice coz Dawson got blasted by Pascal, whom Bhop smoked.

All in all good praises for Hopkins if he beats Dawson.

A lot of people think Dawson wins, which is why it would be amazing.

would have been a great win had he fought dawson immediately after dawson-johnson 2, which he said he was going to do....instead we got shotroy 2....giving dawson's recent form only a decent win at best....

I'd go with great. Just because of the absolute difference in styles Dawson shares from Pascal. We can't use the triangle theory here.

yet another great win for hopkins top 20 atg

I think the win will be underrated but it would realistically be the second best win of this whole year[Ward/Froch being the best win for either]. Of course Marquez beating Pacquiao, and Ortiz beating Mayweather would trump any win, but let's just speak as if that will not happen, then Ward beating Froch or Froch beating Ward would be the best win this year, followed by Hopkins beating Dawson.
