    I've barely watched any footage of Dawson, but I was completely unimpressed with him. He did absolutely nothing in the fight, and his most significant action was throwing Hopkins to the canvas. Then he comes across as juvenile and petty in the post fight interview. Not interested in seeing him again.

    Bernard Hopkins is a *****, he looked for a way out. He was constantly leaning on Dawson, had him in a head lock at one point. He was leaning right on top of Dawson's back, and Chad Dawson out of frustration shoved him off........

    The opportunity to get out of the fight, that Hopkin's had been searching for appeared!

    And Bernard Hopkins took it.

    Chad Dawson! and primed well conditioned Chad Dawson. Would beat any version of Bernard Hopkins! Bernard Hopkins cannot live with athletic boxers who have ring intelligent on par with his own.

    Chad Dawson was winning the fight ASWELL!!!

    the replay shows dawson cuffing the back of hopkins knees, lifting and pushing him off with his sholder, the worst of it is that they gave him the fight based on that.

    Same. I haven't been impressed by either of them recently. Hopkins is well removed from his years as a truly great boxer and Dawson has good/solid skills, but nothing to write home about.
