talk about needing remedial english...i think the jokes on you bub...lol

obviously bernard at 46 has more lives than a cat....

the excuse from the nard faithful after the calzaghe loss was that he was too old...then he looks like ali against pavlik...,

looks ready for the retirement home after jones and ornelias (sp), then is doing pushups in the ring with pascal...obviously he's still a top fighter who can hang with the young guns, so if he loses to dawson, no excuses....

when he beats Chaad...can we call him the greatest active fighter in the game without lame counters?...we make no excuses...and you dudes OD on haterade and call him the GREATEST in the game...deal?

I think even Hopkins in his prime would have problems with Chad.

Hopkins lost to Taylor twice and he wasn't that far past his prime, he has always struggled with speed. Against Dawson, he'll be fighting someone with speed and someone's who bigger than him. Can you say bad match up?

[AllEyesOpen]

Also, B-Hop never comes with an excuse as to why he lost...Because he never thinks he lost.

The real fans know he's won every last one of his fights.

[djtmal]

Hopkins and his fans will make excuses if he does lose.

you know they will....against jones he was too green, against taylor he was too old (2X) against Calzaghe he was too old (or outslapped according to daggum)...despite coming back in his next fight and looking spectacular (tarver after taylor, pavlik after calzaghe), even besting pascal in the rematch after being knocked down 2X in the first fight...this cat still has good speed, good ring smarts, and is finally beating fighters his own size...lol...he loses to dawson, no excuses...

I wouldn't say he lost twice, but he definately lost the second fight in my opinion. I feel you though, Dawson is just a bad style match-up for Hopkins.

hmmm....after beating a shopworn jones, going life and death with pascal, and a win over chad? greatest in the game?...lol....i don't think so....

i'd give him top 3 p4p behind fmj and manny pac....not like he's beating a klitschko....and you KNOW i'm saying that while overlooking all those midgets that couldn't reach, no less test his chin....

SO TRUE!

To be honest, B-Hop...NEVER WANTED TO FIGHT Dawson, going back to when Dawson was calling him out 2-3 years ago

I think B-Hop knows it is a bad match up as far as styles go...I really see Dawson hand speed giving him problems and I see Dawson catching him coming forward ALL NIGHT and Dawson Stamina is very good, he is not like Taylor who had Stamina issues and in both of those fights B-Hop started making a comeback because of Taylor's stamina issues

B-Hop is one of my favorites ever but...Dawson is a UNDERRATED BEAST!
