Hopkins has looked very vulnerable in his last couple of fights and I can see Chad Dawson countering with his uppercuts and hooks whenever hopkins jumps forwards.

Yes. Every time Hopkins fights from here on out he is a underdog to me. I know he has a lot of boxing skills but his age has to catch up with him eventually. I really want him to pull out the W but he does get caught a lot. Chad D is a big guy and if Hopkins is not careful he can get K.O.Ed

It's him seeing his man out of position or excessive vulnerability when he opens himself up like that. I personally doubt he'd jump in on Dawson if he was in position to or even near position to sit down on a counter uppercut or hook.
Hopkins generally follows his attacks by tying up or getting the hell out. Hurting Hopkins is possible b/c I think Dawson is secretly a very good puncher. However, I think if Dawsons sits down on his punches, Hopkins will pick him apart very quickly.

certainly possible. He'll be 47 in jan, his legs have been pretty shaky last two fights, anything can happen. Age will get him eventually if he's not careful.
With that said, I personally THINK pascal is a harder, more explosive hitter than dawson. I reckon hopkins will SEE the punches coming from dawson most of the time. Now getting out of the way is another question.
But sure, it's certainly possible.
Props to bhop taking this fight. Showing floyd & pacquiao what "risk taking" is all about.
