If Bernard Hopkins beats Dawson...

[-Kev-]

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....

Losses supposedly don't mean it's the end, but posts like these indicate that is all talk and people really do care about 0's. I guess losses don't matter when it benefits the fans fighter. Dawson's decision loss made him this bum all of a sudden, but Cotto's 2 brutal TKO losses, it doesn't matter, he's still elite. Lol. Pacquiao got 3 losses, it doesn't matter look what he did afterward. Khan was ktfo in 1 round, it doesn't matter he's still a very good fighter, Bradley is ducking him. Dawson loses a decision, oh that's it any fight that was good between him and another fighter has now lost it's luster because he lost once.

I'm happy with who ever wins this fight. Big supporter of Chad Dawson and Hopkins is probably the only athlete that I'd care to meet along with Michael Jordan. So, in truth, it's a win-win for myself.

Still, this would be one of the best fights for the old man to take. Lose and it's a loss to a big, relatively strong, fast Light Heavyweight. Win and he continues to make history.

So, either way, should be a good fight and I hope the under card is as stacked as rumors suggest.

IF he wins he deserves all the credit in the world. If Manny and Floyd can be credited for beating old fighters, then Bernard should be credited for beat a young un

Quite obviously it would be a great win. And just as obvious IF he wins he should win Fighter of the Year.

Stylistically it's a tough fight for Hopkins at his age. It's going to be a close fight.

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

Hopkins knocks him out. If Diaconou hit him like that then Hopkins will break him.

I think a convincing over Dawson especially a KO will put him top 15 All-time at least.

... 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!

if hops fought an undefeated dawson, that would've been more impressive

easily a great win for hopkins...


i mean look at manny......margarito was considered a great win for pac after he was ko'd.......

its time to give the old man respect & cut the bull.
