Comments Thread For: Chad Dawson Returns To Action, 10/4 at Foxwoods

Tarver was never the same either.

verdict still aint out on Jean "the 4-round fighter" Pascal

[Sugar Adam Ali]

Roy jones the same - ko'd by lebedev
glenn johnson was undefeated when he faced Hopkins and ended up with damn near 20 losses
Calzaghe took 1 more fight and retired
Jermain Taylor (well we all know)
pavlik - not the same
Chad Dawson - KO'd by andre ward and Ko'd by Stevenson - judging by this quick makeshift list we can assume that boxers are not the same after fighting Bernard Hopkins

Hopkins has like 70 fights and it only applies to pavlik, Dawson, Taylor

And Taylor it can be argued that pavlik ruined him, as Taylor had made defenses after Hopkins,,

Dawson it can be said that ward ruined him..

Roy jones went on to have a long atg career after beating Hopkins and johnson won numerous world titles and fighter of the year in 2004, hardly a ruined fighter.. The Roy rematch doesn't really count as Roy was already ruined by tarver, johnson, green...


It's a myth that Hopkins ruined guys,,, Tito ruined many more guys ie Vargas, Reid, joppy, mayorga

Tarver is a legit choice

No,, I think maybe mentally, but as a fighter he cameback strong vs mayorga, and prime winky was always gonna trouble Tito.. Winky also best Shane twice and Shane wasn't ruined,, winky at his peak was a very tough out and a top 5 maybe even 3 p4p guys,,, plus Tito destroyed charif or whatever that dudes name, he still looked like the same Tito

Yes fans... we've just seen a Dawson thread magically turn into a Hopkins thread. Try to concentrate guyz.

As for Dawson, I wanna support the guy, and I hope he wins another title obviously, but geez he has to start listening to his trainer... as in ONE trainer.

... This means that he has a new trainer and a new promoter... I've learned that he was signed by Al Haymon... But who is his trainer? Dan Birmingham or Floyd Mayweather Sr.?

Good to see Chad back in action. Hopefully this kid can get his mojo back, win a few fights and then compete for a title. Let's GO DAWSON!!!

Dawson in the rebuilding process... wish him luck!
