Anyone read Thomas Hauser's awful summation of the Hopkins debacle?

    I think Hopkins did a little more than miss and wind up leaning on Dawsons back. Its a common tactic these guys do to wear out their opponent and it was as much a foul as Dawson throwing him off of him.
    I hated it when Lennox Lewis did it, and now you see the same **** from Wlad K.

    Not really, Hopkins was given the chance to continue from an injury that was basically his fault. He chose not to, therefore he was counted out. Its not really Dawson's fault that Hopkins was injured, if in fact he was, or did not want to continue. There isnt much difference between this and Vitali quitting against Byrd, because Hopkins initiated his own injury.
