Hopkins is 108 yrs old...he can do whatever the **** he wants. When ur that old, no one can accuse you of ducking anyone. As much as i like him, his fights are still boring and ugly. His rhythm may be effective, but it's ugly to watch. His vulnerability is against pure boxers that have a strong will, which makes Dawson toast. All B-Hop has to do is get into Chad's head and the fight is over! And if he doesn't, Chad will just outbox him in boring ass fashion because B-Hop's defense is too crafty to make anyone that beats him look good.
Other than his fights against Trinidad and De La Hoya, I never paid for any of B-Hop's PPVs and I never will.
Hopkins would probably struggle to get down to 170 pounds anyway. It's a good thing he won't accept going down and prefers to defend his title at the division limit.
Given that he beat Dawson, I wonder who he's going to fight if Bute is not willing to move up yet, awaiting the S6 winner.
