    Bet the house on a Dawson victory. There will be some more shenanigans for sure, though.

    Whoever wins needs to take on the uncrowned champ Sugar Robin Krasniqi if they want to retain any credibility whatsoever.

    this is a golden boy promotions fight.

    golden boy promotions has spent a tremendous amount of money to promote and secure this fight, which is entirely non-refundable.

    bernard hopkins is a managing member of golden boy promotions.

    and you really believe that hopkins is going to pull out of this fight because that is what chad dawson believes?

    you just went full ******.

    Well, okay, a tactical snoozer did occur come the April 28 rematch between Ol' Geezer Hopkins and overly cautious Dawson on HBO... But, most fans expected that anyway... However, I will say this, Hopkins at age 47 is still an elite 175 pounder any way you cut the cake... Fact is, Dawson and his height, southpaw stance and hand speed would trouble B-Hops even if he were 10 yrs younger... So, therefore age wasn't the total factor in last nights fight... The whole thing boiled down to their styles, etc... It was a chess match that didn't go over well with the fans very well... No need for Part # 3....

    MR.BILL

    NOTE:

    B-Hops should retire cuz he has nothing to prove in '12, but he's still the # 2 or 3 best 175 pounder in the world right now... After all, he's only age 47 for Christ sake......
