Dawson?! The guy who lost to Pascal right? The one Glenn Johnson nearly knocked out?!

I can't put to much stake in Chad Dawson and I can't see how anyone can.

This guy makes excuses, can't stay with a trainer, fights lackidaisical.

How can you put your faith in a guy like that?

Besides Pascal already beat him.

And it's just a matter of time before this happens again:

Chad Dawson: The man who ****ed texasbois mother.

I wouldn't put faith in him but he's clearly a very talented fighter. His problem as of late is keeping it together for 12 entire rounds. And staying motivated.

Other than that I certainly respect his abilities and his skills as a fighter. I don't like him, but I respect him.

Why is it that ppl who spend a lot of time thinking about boxing, still manage to not understand that styles do make fights and triangle theory is NOT full proof? No disrespect, but this thread and OP are like text book noob mistakes. This thread could be a prime example in an introduction level course on watching and understanding Boxing.

I was undecided and on the fense but this thread basically convince me to put money and points on Hopkins. You're right.

[right_hand_lead]

Oh triangle theories.

[texasboi15]

triangle theory got nothing to do with:

1. making up excuses for losses or poor performances.

2. being unable to mesh with any one trainer.

3. fighting lackadaisical or uninspired (lazy)

lol @ those who took the thread as merely triangle theory.

but take how you wanna take it.

I'm this close to putting points and money on Hopkins but what if he turns old over night literally like Mosley. This is one fight I don't know who to bet on. I know I want Dawson to win because I dislike Hopkins but as far as betting goes I gotta go with the mind but I'm not sure-o.

[Born2Live]

Styles make fight, Dawson style is a nightmare for Hopkins.

[Mr. Fantastic]

If Hopkins beats Dawson, nothing but props and I actually be "wowed" by it(depends on how he wins). He's fighting a guy his size and good.
