    Lots of people think Hopkins is to old, but he looked very strong against Pascal and was even doing push ups between rounds.

    Hopkins is going to come in to this fight in top shape and even though he is old a person does not get substantially weaker in one year.

    I really hope Hopkins can turn back the clock a little bit, but now that he's slowing down considerably at 47 years old, I think Dawson wins a competitive decision. I'm shocked by the amount of people picking Dawson to completely shut-out or knock Hopkins out. That's not gonna happen. Hopkins is too crafty and too skilled and Dawson, while good, isn't that good.

    Answer for Chad:

    Chad Dawson ". I am not the same young fighter as Pavlik or Pascal. They don’t have the same options that I have in the ring. I can box, switch up. He is not going to get into my head. Mind games don’t work with me. We have a good plan"

    Together with Toney criminal racist Flopkins is the most hated boxer in the world - he is only idolized in certain communities already flowed with crimes, crack and food stamps as main income. Fact :deal

    I pick Dawson in a hard fight because Hopkins is already in his head.

    People have to be careful writing off BHop.

    But i'm confident Chad can take this, SD

    If Dawson shows up on his best form, he should win.

    If Hopkins pulls this off I hope people dont underrate that achievement in any way. Beating a fighter like Chad Dawson at age 47 is something very, very few boxers in history could manage in my opinion.

    Some good point bought up in this thread.

    I'm giving Hopkins some more respect coming into this fight, but I still got Chad to win this.

    The weigh in should be exciting.

    A motivated Dawson beats anyone from 168 to 200

    I very much doubt Hopkins will pull this one off. I'm surprised he even took the rematch, credit to him for that. I just hope he doesn't pull another ***** move and fake cries injuries like he did in his last 5 fights.

    Dawson must win this fight. And I know he can. But if it is the same Dawson shows up who lost to limited Pascal he is doomed.

    Come on.. So much exciting and meaningfull match ups would come in future if Dawson beats this old man..


    Dawson v Pascal II
    Dawson v Sillakh
    Dawson v Shumenov
    Dawson v Campillo
    Dawson v top guard from 168
