Dawson wants a rematch, Hopkins not interested

[starjammer]

Who cares about who said what to who and when.

These are the two best guys in the division and they need to fight again.

I don't care if it's a bore-fest. I was enjoying the fight up until the end. I like seeing how guys like this match up.

Dawson said no numerous times right after the fight.

Hopkins wanted a rematch.

Hopkins giving Chad a taste of his own medicine.

Taste of his own medicine? Quit being a Hopkins nuthugger, after the fight there was a lot of uncertainty, nothing was official. Now everything has been cleared, Hopkins refusing to fight Dawson again just proves he is a coward.

[Mr. Philadel]

Dawson didn't want the rematch when he thought he was champ.

Now he wants it.

**** Chad.

church!!!....Mad Chad better move on and get over it!!

Hopkins vs Cloud make it happen!

Now that's a fight worth watching and since Cloud doesn't have an opponent, makes sense. Not sure how Hopkins/Golden Boy's relationship is with Don King though.

Fair enough, I'm not going to argue against facts, but regardless ... business is unfinished. Nobody knows who was going to win that fight. Dawson got his shot at the title. It's been ruled an NC. A rematch is necessary.

And out of those 4 guys, Dawson is the greatest threat in my opinion.

I personally wouldn't mind the rematch but I know you and I would be in the minority in that. I just don't see HBO putting up the money required for each guy to make this fight happen, not after how the first fight did less than 50 thousand buys. It would have to be on regular HBO, so would HBO drop $3 million or so for the fight? Seems unlikely. If hopkins or dawson or both didn't want the fight, I wouldn't blame them, especially 'nard at this point in his career. However if HBO is willing, sure go for it.

From an "entertainment" point of view, I think there are a few other fights out there for hopkins that would be more entertaining and would do better ratings. And I still want to see Dawson vs Pascal, I think that's a fight that would also do good numbers.

Yeah I hear ya, pal. What you say makes sense.

I would certainly like to see the rematch, but I guess if it doesn't come off, like you said, there are some great match-ups to be had that would be more fan friendly.

Just a shame there might always be that lingering question left unanswered. Who would have won?

yeah that's true. Maybe in a perfect scenario dawson rematches pascal, wins, and hopkins fights Cloud, wins, and hopkins and dawson are both the top 2 in the division and they rematch. There probably would be a bit more demand for the fight if that were to happen then right now.

As a hopkins fan I'm going to watch whatever fight he's in regardless, just sayin.

That would be great and a likely scenario because we always gets the fights that should happen in the sport of boxing.
