    Maybe you should wait until after April 28th to see if they really are "fairytales" or if you and Cannibus and the other minority have been provoking a lot of discussion that will prove, in fact, to be wrong.

    You speak as though your opinion is FACT, whereas, from where I sit, the small amount of outspoken "pro-Dawson" crowd simply analyze 6 minutes of previous action and make predictions. The "pro-Hopkins" posters seem bitter and aggressive in their posts for some reason.

    Nobody talking faiytales, we just analize different than you analize it. And from what i've seen, I see one guy who gets frustrated when he doesn't get his way(and that was clearly shown when Hopkins taking away his punchout put and controlling the pace like he always does) and Chad clearly claims he was running, when in reality he was doing what he always does. Either way, it was gonna be a long gruelling fight for Dawson and he knew that, regardless of what him and his trainer John Scully and people are trying to convince people. We also seen when he was raising his hands up in the first round because he claimed he didn't engage with him like he wanted, but when you have a great tactitian(a thinking fighter) it's gonna come down to ring iq, toughness, and the ability to adapt, which Hopkins has always shown. Either way, Chad won't win just because has faster, and bigger, he's gonna need more than that to win and I think you realize that too. Either way, it's gonna be a great fight and there won't be any excuses from anybody who's picking Hopkins. That's the last thing I'ma say about this, may the best men win.

    I tell you, all of you, the guy will not know what to do or where to go once that bell rings. He will do the same, try to get Hopkins into the ropes so that in case he misses the jab, at least the left hand connects and so that he can steal that one round on aggressiveness, clean effective punching and volume thrown at a very low connect rate. Will never relax cause he doesn't want to get caught and he may snap at any given moment and like I said - he's not a seasoned fighter like Calzaghe, he won't sneak in low blows or headbutts, he pleaded B'Nard not to do it cause he knows he will go out of control and maybe pick up Hopkins and throw him out of the ring like he's on WWE. This kid is not well in nervous terms and no matter which skills he has, B'Nard already messed up his low dimensioned head and now with this silence, Damn, the fight can be another foul fest like Hopkins-Jones Jr II.

    I am not gonna wait until then to bomb away, I am not a fan of a guy who slammed my fighter and called him a coward, a ***** and a fake. These idiots can analyse 6 minutes and I can analyse hours of tapes. And yes, I am getting bitter by the day exception made to Primadonna cause he made sense after all. Now, I have to respect people who say my fighter is gonna quit after being insulted, disrespected and humiliated after being fouled. No sir, F*** em, I want Dawson out of the picture, I raher have Cloud or Pascal even!

    :good, This is all we've been going back and forth on the whole time. We never said Dawson can't win or isn't an A class fighter, but the blatanly disrespect for a living legend questioning his diginity as a fighter and than as da professer claimed that he was a cherrypicking his whole career!!!:lol: Come on now. Hopkins deifnetly ain't no Floyd Mayweather Jr., all he cares about is how many pay per view sales he makes. I've played ball with guys with the same attitude that Dawson has and when they can't dominate you, they become very sore losers and than wanna throw hands with you if you beat them fair and square, whether if it was influenced by someone else or not. And I don't care what anybody says because it hasn't been spoken about, But Winky Wright definetly had something to do with this because he's still bitter about Hopkins ending his reign as a top fighter and he hasn't been the same since. Look at him at the end of that first fight in the ring with Chad giving him credit for something he never even earned that night. He said chad was doing it with the jab and Chad never even got off that night with his jab. Winky had a better jab than Chad does when he was on top of his game.

    According to Dwyer, who only has Floyd Mayweather Jr, Andre Ward and someone else other than Pacquiao above Chad, Dawson threw 16 jabs in the first round and landed 2 and in the second round threw 14 jabs and landed 1, that is 3 jabs landed in 30 jabs thrown or 4%. So wtf r these people talkin about, wtf is Winky talkin about? Winky was finished at the end of that fight and only came back to lose a jnr MW bout with PW. If he's bitter, I would a** **** him to make him happy cause he didn't do **** and he shouldn't even have talked after the fight in the post-fight presser which was a joke with Pascal and Chad braggin about their next fight when we all knew that the WBC would rule it a no-contest and give Nard back the title... Of course, Winky had a better jab cause he has much more a sense of distance and timing with that right lead ever since he got robbed against Fernando Vargas. But Nard stepped away from exchanging jabs like he did now ( he only threw 3 jabs in 2 rounds) and rushed in between to nail Winky with short punches that ultimately won the fight for him.

    As most do who are picking him. I have a different take on it and believe if the fights close, they could possbily give it to Chad and that's because of his flashy style, so all he has to do is throw a combination at the end of a round(even if Hopkins lands the more clean effective punches and wins the majority of the round) they'll give Dawson those rounds. It happen in his fights with Calzaghe and Taylor and you can even go back to Leonard/ Hagler when that scenerio happened. It all depends on who the judges are, and what their main scoring criteria is, this will play a important factor in the fight.

    Let me guess, you probably have a lot of excuses for the fight now, huh?

    You aren't as good or objective at analyzing film as you think and, I hate saying it, but these "idiots" just made you look like a fool whose been blabbering for the past month and, the whole time, has been wrong!
