    Hopkins has been hittable for a decade. Bute will find him, try him, convict him and execute him.:deal

    I think Bute will work that old body in mid rounds and stop him late ! Its just the way I see it ! Maybe you have another opinion. Let's hear it

    I thought the call was ok, the fight could have kept on but it was not a bad stoppage either.

    There is no way Dawson stops Pascal with such an huge cut and all the gas he burned in the 11th.

    And I do believe Dawson is getting stopped in the rematch, for him being too active after his lazy fight the first time. A counter punch like this:

    The New Sad Chad will be a worse failure than the New Coke. Trust me.

    I think Dawson will take the easy rute and outbox him. If he starts strong and pascal needs to catch up in the late rounds , a OK might occur. 1 thing is for sure, Dawson will at least UD Pascal. :hi:

    Damn. Assume he does win those fights.

    What would his ranking be on the ATg list??

    Considering Pascal looked like a lost bag of **** in that fight you have a lot more faith in Hopkins getting old over night than I do. When does this fight happen 2019?

    This is a difficult task but if successful B-Hop will be top 5 ATG. I would never bet against B-Hop.

    if he were to pull this off, it would be a truly ATG way to end a career, but I always worry about b-hop getting old in one night, so to speak, nowdays

    BHop should just fight the winner of Pasca/Dawson and than try to get it on with Bute.

    :rofl So Calzaghe is this special type of monsterous puncher now??? He couldnt even KO a shot to **** Roy Jones and he was just suppose to become a specail type of puncher now...He didnt hurt Hopkins once, not one time and you have the audacity to blame Cortez for Calzaghe looking like **** when he fought Hopkins.:lol:

    You dudes never cease to amaze me with this Calzaghe ****!

    i agree, there are a lot of biased calzaghe fans.

    here's part 1 of a video series of the Hopkins-Calzaghe fight slowed down:

    I'm glad you posted that video...Not only does it prove my point on how Calzghe did not hurt Hopkins but it also moots the points on how Calzaghe dominated Hopkins which is clearly false...Swinging wild flurries and hitting air isnt exactly domination IMO.

    Pascal will beat him more convincingly the 2nd time around. He is just gonna be a little closer to his prime while Hopkins is gonna be a little bit older.
