Comments Thread For: Chad Dawson: I Definitely Want Pascal After Hopkins

[-Kev-]

If the Dawson that fought Adamek Tarver and Glen Johnson 2 show up B-Hop is in big trouble trouble

All three of the guys you mentioned have 3 completely different styles from Hopkins. The same Dawson has come in the Adamek, both Tarver fights, the first Johnson fight, the Pascal fight and the Diacanu fight. The only time I saw Dawson fight differently was in the Johnson rematch where he fought better than the first Johnson fight, but still fought exactly the same as the Adamek and Tarver fights. He got wreckless against Johnson in the first fight, wanted to go toe to toe and it was a great action fight, but he corrected that in the rematch and won by landslide.


Chad gives Hopkins trouble no matter what. It's not gonna be a walk in the park for Hopkins. Styles make fights, Pascal's style beat Dawson. Diaconu's come forward style made Chad become reckless and throw more combinations, because he found it so easy to hit him, as you saw in the compubox stats Dawson landed something like 60%. Against Hopkins, Dawson just has to be himself. He doesn't have to come in there with a mentality of "I gotta be the Chad that fought Adamek, Tarver and Johnson" cause obviously, Bernard Hopkins is Bernard Hopkins, not Adamek, Tarver or Johnson.

I think Chad wins this fight. Then hopefully he gets his rematch against Pascal, and after that, a big fight can happen with the Super 6 winner or Lucian Bute[if Johnson doesn't spoil that]. Then there's always Tavoris Cloud which is the least money fight out of the three I mentioned.

As much as I think Chad Dawson is a good fighter I am leaning towards Bernard to beat him. Chad wants to be close to his family and dogs while Hopkins is in the trenches with the ol school bunch.
