what would you have done in dawsons place?

[SplitSecond]

haye got called a ***** for going to the canvas to avoid being fatiqued from klitschko's jumping ontop of him

[Ko King 212]

Did what he did. Hopkins was trying to make him tired by putting his weight on him. Dawson knew that and that's why he did the "get the f-ck off me".

[Bushbaby]

Dawson did what he was supposed to do, at that time. But after the fight his interview was unbecoming of a boxer. There were no moves leading up to Hopkins injury that should have lead to a tko win for him & he knew that. He should have asked for a rematch then to set the record straight.

where's the "hit Hopkins behind the head when he's down" option?

If I were Dawson and I truly thought Hop didnt wanna fight...i'd offer a re-match...but no he denied it completly cause he knew he didnt want part...he needs to and prob will end up given the betls up...he didnt earn ****...and I saw nothing of him that impressed me..

I think refusing the rematch was more out of anger cause he believed Hopkins was faking. I think every one can agree that Dawson's anger after the fight was real.

yeah I do think Dawson was mad for real..and i can see Y...but if He thought Hop was avoiding him...call him out again..say " I think u faked cause u dont want none..and prove it by rematching me then" its simple instead I think Dawson at the time just wanted to run w the belts and hope the boxing world didnt see what happenend...i'm sure over the weeks attitudes will change...decisions will change..and it may happen again..

I personally think he was mad cause Hop was trying to get him disqualified or have a point taken off, and if someone did that to me I don't think I'd want to give them a rematch either, at least not right away. Plus it's not like he said he wants time off, he said straight away he wants to avenge his defeat to Pascal which he doesn't have to do seeing as he's (Pascal) coming off two lackluster performance against Hopkins.

[IronDanHamza]

I would have done the exact same thing and I absolutely expect Dawson to react that way.

He obviously studied Hopkins and knew he was going to try tactics like that and was prepared to give it straight back like he's suppoed to.

Dawson was the old school fighter last night, not Hopkins.
