Is anyone still clinging to the idea that Hopkins quit against Dawson?

Yeah I think he saw it as a get out jail card seeing as he knew he was in for a long night,Dawson was laying it on him but cant fault him last week,heart of a lion..

 

Just goes to show, once ******ed always ******ed. People simply want to believe what they want to believe to suit their opinion, nothing like facts or reality will change people minds they are to busy sticking their heads in the ground.

Hopkins always starts slowly and he had barely lost the first 5 mins of the fight. If Hopkins had wanted to duck Dawson he would have simply dumped the WBC title and beaten Cloud for his title like he did. It was Hopkins who chased the rematch it was Dawson who didn't want it.

10 months before he had been dropped twice by Pascal yet didn't quit or fake a foul. If he didn't want the fight why did he fight Dawson twice? If he felt he was being dominated by Dawson why did not do the same against Pascal, Kovalev and the rematch with Dawson?

 

Hopkins quit like a pu$$y v Dawson, its not even debatable, we've seen that horrible crybaby face from Hopkins too often to know he wants a way out of a fight :crybaby

 

He quit only to rematch him 5 months later?

 

kovalev> calzaghe, deal with it

 

Hopkins actually got some sort of injury (can't remember what it was exactly) after Dawson threw him down, I'm pretty sure Oscar posted the X-Ray pictures online.

 

i love hopkins. but he wasnt hurt. he couldnt have fallen any softer than he did.... the fake grimacing while being interviewed was over kill. Chad was laying into his ass and was stronger than he thought....
hopkins is crazy like a fox. he knew once it was called a foul he could pull the "i cant continue card" because "how can anyone question an injury??"
Hopkins, touch as nails, prison hard for 6 years, trains like a madman, philly tough....and hes gonna fall over on a boxing canvas and roll around in pain like he fell 3 stories onto concrete? :rofl
he was smart enough to know it was controversial and he would get paid twice for one fight. never one dr report, never one mention of it again.... it was a farce

 

its also impossible to think a guy that fell down and played the same game with calzaghe and roy jones , could somehow fake yet again in a 3rd fight

 

:think

:nut

 

LMAO!
forgot how bad that punch was. WOW! :|

 

I heard someon on a podcast (johnny nelson?) adhere to the theory recently but I never really thought it was true personally, though I never disregarded the theory completely, which would have been stupid.

though there was at the time, pre his xray scans on his shoulder, a fair enough and even probable case for arguing it, given Hopkins record of 'cheating' and fakery.

Dawson was basically a thug that round of that night, trying to rough up the old man dirty, losing his temper with Hopkins own dirt when he lifted and threw Bernie. Sumo, it aint.
