Hopkins: I Hope The "Bad" In Chad Dawson Shows up

[Boxingwizard]

Its a PITIFUL attempt by Hopkins to try and "lure" Chad into a fight that would give Hops his only chance of any type of success. If they BOX then its a wrap. Why doesnt Hopkins say, "Come on Chad, let's match SKILLS. No low blows, no dirty fighting, no complaining. Let's box 12 rounds and see who has the better skills, who hits who with more clean shots."

I think Dawson will beat Hopkins the same way he beat Adamek, Tarver, and Harding. He will outbox Hopkins, out-brawl, and outhit him. It will be a white-wash.

Does he mean bad or Bad if Bad Chad who fought Adamek or Tarver 1st fight shows up he gets outworked ,outhustled and outpointed

There's still a reason Hopkins decided to fight Enrique Ornealas and Roy Jones instead of Dawson when he was on top of the division and was calling him out

[Ringlife]

Dawson has been calling out B Hop for a while now so he better be ready I still go with B hop on this one it will go all 12 rounds.

All the mind games do is help sell the fight at this level. That's what Hops is tryin to do here.

Who's reffing this fight? If Bhop doesn't get away with anything dirty Dawson should win this by decision. Dawson is the most skillful boxer Hopkins has fought in years, I'd make a case and say much more skilled than Calzaghe.

Now when I say that I'm not saying Dawson would beat Calzaghe because I think Dawson has a mental weakness at this game and this is what Bhop is trying to take advantage of. I do not know how someone with Dawson's skill-level was getting outboxed by someone like Pascal.

Both Calzaghe and Hopkins have that mentality that they will not lose. I can not say the same about Dawson just yet.
