    Off the top of my head I can recall -
    1. Hopkins not being able to continue against R Allen for a NC
    2. Hopkins lying on the floor for a while against A Echoles
    3. Hopkins trying to fake injury to get time out against J Calzaghe
    4. Hopkins lying on the floor pretending Jones Jnrs punch was behind the head.

    Now we have a similar scenario with Dawson

    Problem is people are judging it by the past and not by the evidence present today. There are tons of instant replays which clearly depicts that Bhop was tackled/thrown down.

    If we just forget about the past and just focus on what happened then maybe we could judge it correctly.

    If you cry wolf.... Thats what happens. I dont mean that disrespectfully but Hopkins has faked injury before to get time out.
    Hopkins may have truly been injured, and I didnt suffer the fall, but it didnt look terrible to me.

    Hopkins has a great ability to convince people in post fight comments about what he wants them to believe
