    No he doesn't need this fight for his legacy. He's 47 now and he should of retired 3 yrs. ago after the Pavlik fight. Hopkins has already made history twice with the most middleweight defenses(20) and became the oldest man to ever win the title. Dawson doesn't even have half the accomplishments to match up with that, so how in the world does he need this fight? If anything he's taking a risk by letting a young hungry fighter like Dawson make a name off of a win, if he was to beat Hopkins decisively. He's just trying to add more to his legacy(more icing on his cake) but don't say dumb **** that he needs it.

    I remember an interview quite a long time ago where Bhop said he did not want to fight some young and upcomming fighters because he wanted them to do well for themselfs.

    As a fellow American and black he probably did not have a lot of fire to fight Dawson, but now he does.

    Dodged?

    You are aware that hopkins has now twice fought dawson and twice fought the guy who beat dawson?

    If hopkins is ducking chad he's doing a very **** job of it!
