How is Dawsons style supposedly a "nightmare" 4 Bhop?

[NinjaMan!]

All these people like Emanuel Steward for example are saying Dawson has the worst style in the world for Hopkins. I see the opposite. Dawson is obviously a tall lefty and u have to say he does great against them after the Tarver fight. He has a great track record against lefties.

Dawson also fights at a slow pace and loses focus which plays right into Hopkins hands. So what are these so called experts seeing? Is Steward just talking to hear himself talk?

because he moves
Hopkins can still go with guys who are in front of him
but he's old and can't hunt down a guy with footwork
Dawson will UD him

My guess why Steward would say those things are that dawson is:

1) young
2) hits hard
3) has fast hands
4) tall and rangy

2 guys have beaten hopkins with those same attributes: RJJ and J. Taylor

he moved in that fight
he just did more moving than punching, so he lost

Speed, movement, athleticism. Plus hes a big guy. Dawson has all the physical tools to win this.

Dunno bout mental tools though

Moves where? Dawson is a stalker....he just moves forward while trying to turn his man.

I would argue that he always looked awesome against second rate opposition. But when he stepped up he would do good then fade or maybe lose focus then almost look as if he the fight was going the other way and sometimes look like he might just get KO'd.

He did it against Johnson, he did it against Adamek against Pascal and even against Tarver. He fights in spots does a lot of waiting and I dont know if that will do it against Hopkins. He always get hit with the right so if Hopkins starts busting him with that punch and he gets discouraged what then? Chad has a lot on the line in this fight, a lot of expectations from fans the media and himself.

Stylistically Dawson does not use his height, is not naturally busy but does have good hand speed and power.

This will be a good one.

What if B-Hop moves. After all he is a student, watches tapes, and the one with the Higher Ring IQ.

What if he applies the same style that he did against Tarver? Moving backwards, using the Jab as a range finder, sticking Dawson with the right here and there, and making Dawson cover up and be the one coming forward.

Which is what I'm betting on. They saw what Pascal did to him with a little footwork. Pascal moved around the ring,and Dawson just covered up and looked like ****.
