So Hopkins won't do a Face Off w/Chad

Belee Dat

 

no pick

I don't know enough about Bad Chad. Hopefully, he lives up to his name

 

Doesn't matter what they think in their world boxers who happen to be 46 are immune from physical injury, now all the talking is done and in 5 days we'll find out who is great and who isn't, who's the ATG and who's the pretender.

Won't matter for guys like you, me, SJS, Dorf, Cannibus or Boga if Hopkins loses because it's widely expected that he'll lose the doubters have already put the reasons forward as to why they think he'll lose but if Sunday rolls around and Hopkins has got the W......there's going to a be a lot of stupid ass dksab people on here and I hope they admit they were wrong.

 

They will run Arcane. What can they say? If it is a close call lke I expect it to be in favour of Hop, they gonna say it is the robbery of the century and that judges in NJ are made with GBP like of The Ring Mag. It's pointless, if they get beat up pretty bad, don't expect any of them to come to talk to us...

 

So Hopkins has never faked an injury in the ring, during a fight...yes or no?

 

The difference is I for one know it's a very real possibility Hopkins could lose and possibly even lose wide, but for guys like Imperial or Reppin they think it's close to impossible for Hopkins to win and see a TKO loss as an outcome. FFS reppin has even admitted that if Hopkins wins its because there was something nefarious going on, similarly the poster Mag even went as far as to say that he expects Dawson to win but if Hopkins won then it would be because Hopkins cherry picked Dawson :nut

 

Gary Shaw is a fat liar. Literally. It's hard to tell when he's actually saying the truth.

 

Lol so you go out on this stupid ass limb claiming Hopkins will win etc but have no accountability for the pick because you expect him to lose, but you get to claim all this credit if he lucks into a win...makes perfect sense. :good

 

Man, you are a guy for real and you know that that could really happen cause Dawson will come charging and throwing and if Bernard gasses out, wtf can he do? I expect him to do a number on this guy who talked too much. Reppin and Imperial won't mind to see Hops flat on the deck. Still, I admit many r seeing it coming, a ninth round stoppage but based on what? I say that they are thinking about other fighters in similar circumstances like James Toney and one old Evander Holyfield for instance, the towel was thrown by Don Turner in the 9th.

 

that's all speculation hinging on the false idea that hopkins quit by faking an injury in a fight that only ended during the feeling out process.

 

I've already flip flopped on my original prediction which I even made a thread about, I went from Dawson UD to my current prediction which is Hopkins via UD so win or lose I can't claim any credit BUT what I can do is point out how guys like you and Imperial thought it was close to impossible for Hopkins to win.

 

this is where your old man, will get old and overmatched..no shame in thatm hes almost 50..... and where this old man, schools your ass and learns you a little something about fight picking....dont bet with your memory, bet with the present..... :think

 

Ronald Winky Wright was a 5"10 light middleweight coming up to 170..? he was fat and out of shape against Bernard Hopkins.

"I am not trying to be funny, he was looking like a jelly baby, he eate his way to 170"

Chad Dawson is a 6"2 Light heavyweight who has fought big guys all his professional career, and even fought and shut out a very good fighter at crusierweight in Adamek.

If Bernard Hopkins wins this fight, its his greatest ever win, behind Felix Trinidad.

"Don't discredit Bernard Hopkins task already"

Even though i think Chad Dawson will win, and easy. Its annoying me, that Hopkins fans are playing down this task..?

This is a funny old world, and if Bernard Hopkins does win..? Don't just play down the magnitude of this task already. Chad Dawson at 6"2, speed, athletic ability, technical skills, is a stylistic challange for any Bernard Hopkins..? he has always had trouble with athletic fighters who have above average ring IQ's..? I have stated this about 50 million times since i have returned back to the general forum.

Chad Dawson has got game, nobody is questioning his skills. But he has to mentally stay focused and apply his game plan, and not get fustrated by any of Bernard Hopkins dirty antics..? which i am sure he will apply. Chad Dawson has not got to go down to Bernard Hopkins level..? because technically thats what happened in the last fight.

 

Can you quote where I've claimed Dawson would TKO Hopkins?

Furthermore you're trying to ride both sides of the fence, you claim to be so sure of a Hopkins win, but then say it's a "very real possibility Hopkins loses and possibly loses wide". Look you don't have to speak for me, I picked Dawson (both fights), have stated why and stand by those statements.

Lastly, I acknowledge anything can happen in boxing, Hopkins "could" win. The bottom line is Hopkins is 47 years old, slower, not as naturally strong, and doesn't have the skill advantage he enjoys in many fights. There is nothing to indicate that Hopkins can or will win this fight. I concede he is smarter and has more mental toughness but in my opinion, it doesn't bridge the other gaps.

 

You're the one who made that claim. Back it up, hoe.
