Hopkins is all business. He was quiet before the pavlik fight too.
And for those that say he's scared of dawson and knows he's going to lose, remember this - he didn't HAVE to fight Dawson. He could have said no to a rematch and sure he would have lost his WBC belt but he would have retained The Ring belt, which is more prestigious anyways. He could have fought lesser opponents with titles - Shumenov, Cloud or Cleverly. And honestly, no one would really fault a 47 year old man for taking these fights and it wouldn't hurt his legacy at all. Make no mistake - Bernard took this fight because he wants to prove to everyone and himself he can beat Dawson. Whether or not you think he can is irrelevant.
