Keep dreaming, buddy. Cracks me up how much faith people have in somebody like Chad Dawson, a guy who wouldn't have done jack **** in better light heavyweight eras and is clearly benefiting from a weak division and the need for people to hype fighters up.
Why do idiots like you always try to compare eras? Dawson's career is no one where near finished, and he would be favored or very competitive against anyone in the LHW or SMW division. Criticize him all you want, but he is a very talented and skilled boxer. But first things first, he needs to shut up all the Hopkins nuthuggers on Oct 15.
Hopkins is slow, Dawson has very fast hands who's also very skilled, unlike Pascal. It will look something like this. [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=USfxqZS4sCI[/ame] I think the probability is pretty high for Dawson to knock out Hopkins.
if he can keep a high work rate and use his speed he could do a calzaghe and cause bhhop to fade down the stretch
This is the probbale outcome of the fight, but I don't see a knockout. Bernard has a very good defense.
Dawson also promised to do that againt Diaconu and I honestly didn't see any difference in his game. He will be training for several more months with Steward but I don't think he can change his soul. Dawson is not a warrior, he'll never be. I can see Dawson win though but I can also see Hopkins win with his ting and brain IQ. Dawson is not the most intelligent boxer in the game. That's scary against Hopkins but in theory he should have all the tools to win.
