Comments Thread For: Chad Dawson: Hopkins is a Coward, He Ain't No Legend

[Rome-By-Ko]

Dawson needs to stop,he is really hurting himself at this point..Just shut up already,you would be so lucky to accomplish half of what B-Hop has in his career..Show some respect its great to show emotion,but to. Disrespect a legend is not gonna make him liked...I've already started my dislike of him...

i dont see why people are calling bernard a coward, he clearly stated he would fight. ref-can you fight? bernard- with one arm yeah!
i don't think his shoulder was as hurt as he made out but bernard has always exaggerated how hurt he was. he was going to continue and if he wouldnt have beat chad he would have had an excuse. not to say chad would beat him. i saw absolutely nothing in the first 2 that would indicate chad would beat him, all i saw was bhop doing his thing as normal and would have picked it up a little later in the fight.

Since we don't know who would've won the war with their hands we get a war of words. Dawson is winning lol

I was looking forward to this fight.

I will say that B-Hop didn't look to have taken all that much impact to his shoulder on the fall, and that he is a faker and likes to roll around on the ground like a soccer player trying to draw a foul.

Dawson had every right to get Hopkins off his back. He was trying to set the tone early. "No B-hop, this isn't MMA, and you will not be lunging in after every punch and trying to jump on my back."

I think like everyone else, I admire what B-hop has done to stay in the game but at the same time, would love to see him get humbled one last time. I don't know why this fight was ever a PPV in the first place btw. I can only hope that if there was a rematch that it wouldn't be either.

Dawson is a clown. Hopkins is a legend and dawson will never be half the fighter bhop is. Dawson was already getting frustrated with hopkins and they didnt even hit 6min. He is faster and stronger but has the brain of a pea. Hope pascael koes ur gettho ass

That does not excuse the use of the term 'coward'...I'm disappointed. His conduct in the Pascal fight could also be described in that fashion, though I won't lower myself to use that word.

In the end he'll eat from the taxes paid by people such as Bernard and hate every minute of it as well he should.

really? coming foward all the time is being a coward?

Bad Chad is understandably upset after being robbed of an impressive victory due to the frailty of an old man.

I agree Hopkins act was over the top, it had that Kermit Cintron feel to it. Remember as they carted him off on the stretcher and the announcement was made that he lost he hit the ambulance pretty hard and he had a boner at the sametime. The No contest ruling is the right call but only b/c the ref didn't tell Hop that he'd lose if he didn't fight on. I wouldn't mind seeing a rematch on regular HBO but I have a feeling Hopkins doesn't want another Jermain Taylor night.

After years of football I would have said boxers were in the toughest sport next to football but my coach would have kicked my ass off the team with a performance like Hopkins.

Dawson grabbed Hopkins by the leg and then pushed him down with his shoulder. That ref was old and pathetic. He should have DQ'd Dawson on the spot -- it was an intentional foul, clear and simple.

HOP faked the "injury" without a doubt. HE couldn't be jerking off everybody with a dislocated shoulder.
