So, the question is not who you think will win, but who do you want to win tomorrow night's fight. Poll above and leave your thoughts below. Most know I'm a Hopkins guy all the way. Hope he takes it, and I think he will. This content is protected
All respect to Hopkins, but I'm a Dawson guy and am in his corner despite his disappointing past couple years. Objectively, I think there are more good fights if Dawson wins. He could rematch Pascal (doubt Hopkins/Pascal III excites television) or bide his time for a year or so until the 168s move north. Hopkins doesn't have time to wait for Ward, Froch, et al, and it's time for new blood. I hope Bernard gets beaten convincingly (but not stopped -- I'd hate to see that) and settles into a comfy retirement.
Want Dawson... Think Dawson too, but I don't think it's an easy fight or easy pick or easy anything...
I want Dawson to KO B-Hop. I think B-Hop's time needs to be up already. I'm tired of his antics. I'd rather see him on ESPN FNF as the 'Boxing Expert'. We need to change the guard in that respect. I like B-Hop, but enough is enough already. Lay down old man. Spend that money, adopt a highway in Philly, and eat a bunch of hoagies. We need young blood to spill in the light heavyweight division. Dawson wins, Cloud faces Pascal, winner meets winner. That's my wish.
Dawson. Hopkins had his feelgood moment in winning the title but it is time for the next generation to take over I think.
