Dawson's not on Hopkins level. I seriously doubt he's on Kessler's level. He's long been overrated by a lot of people
Wow! Quite a mouth on this lady. I'd thank you to practice some etiquette, hon. This is absolutely no way for a lady to be speaking. At Bernard's age, even if he is cherry-picking you can't even really say he's cherry-picking because any fight he accepts against even the mildest of stiff competition should theoretically net him a loss. The over 40 crowd isn't supposed to be eager to fight 26 year old lions. So even though he is cherry-picking, you've gotta give the guy credit for even wanting to fight the lesser of potentially dangerous opponents at this point. Shout out to Tarvs and Johnson.
Ahh the masses speak! If Hopkins is soooooooo great then why doesn't grand master oh-you-so-good Hopkins face Dawson yet instead calls out Froch/Trinidad/Adamek? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...................... Maybe because unlike the rest of you: I can analyze styles!! Just keep deluding yourselves guys - keep eagerly awaiting Hopkins vs Adamek/Froch/Trinidad yet deny the Dawson fight. Why? Because deep deep down you know what I've said the 100% certifiable truth. As boxing fans I'd expect better from you but sometimes people will allow their idols to dodge certain fights through blind devotion.
Now that's some idiotic junk, didn't even bother to continue reading after you called Hopkins a coward. atsch Do you realise that he was trying to make a fight with Adamek at Cruiserweight?, yeah the same Adamek who has been literally beating the living hell out of cruisers?, does that look like a coward's move? You calling Hopkins a coward means you know nothing about him, go check out more of him before posting idiotic junk like that.
And your analysis of Hopkins' style is that he's a coward, professional analysis. If you know boxing and know how to analyze you wouldn't call a fighter who's still fighting at the age of 44, beating/scaring younger fighters and so high in official P4P rankings a coward. You would at least show some respect for that but obviously you don't know anything about the sport to appreciate something like that.
Actually he was trying to make easy money against Adamek, but Adamek wasn't stupid enough to fall for it. When we hear about Hopkins trying to make a fight with Cunningham then we will see how seriously he is about fighting at cruiser. The style advantage Hopkins has over Adamek is not there against Cunningham.
While this dude is a bit off the mark, the 'Noob' part of the comment is way off the mark. You're equating one's duration and posts on ESB with the totality of his time following the sport. I had watched boxing for more that thirty-five years and followed the sport quite closely for thirty of those years, before ESB came into existence.
