    Hopkins has a good chance to win, maybe even register his first KO in years.

    KO Dawson? Thats a bold prediction. He did survive some massive bombs from Johnson and Adamek, bigger punchers then Nard.

    Dawson UD. Bad style match up for Hopkins. Dawson is just so talented. He'll keep Hopkins on the defensive for most of the fight and outwork him. I doubt Hopkins gets in the ring with Dawson.

    Hopkins UD, I wouldn't say the fight is inevitable though. Has Hopkins expressed any interest?

    Hopkins doesnt want it, but he's also a warrior. And if there's noone left, Dawson is the logical choice, and Dawsons camps been calling out Hop.

    I could see this playing out a lot like the Taylor fights, with Nard being very reluctant to initiate offense. I've never bet against Ex though and I wouldn't start here.

    This could be a boring ass fight if you think about. Dawson doesnt like to initiate either.

    I like Dawson but I've learned to stop picking against Bernard Hopkins.

    Its inevitable that this fight will never happen. Hopkins might be a lot of things but he ain't no fool. He knows that he can outbox a slow, plodding, and predictable fighter like Pavlik, but that there's too much risk of a taking on a young, fast combination puncher like Dawson the could possibly make him look like a shot old man.

    Don't take him serious him and every other Calzaghe fan have been pro-Hopkins so JC win over Hopkins looks even better on paper, it's simple he is working off an agenda.

    Yeah you can. Just picture a bigger, stronger, faster, more talented, more polished, and just overall better version of Jermain Taylor. :good
