Hopkins is ducking Dawson then.

Hopkins can avoid all this bull**** and go for Tavoris Clowned. Dawson has the speed and reach to cause old man Hopkins problems.

I would like to see Hopkins vs Dawson, Hopkins has tactics that can disrupt any fighter.

 

this:deal if pascal loses to dawson next hopkins will face cloud.

 

Cherry picking at 46. What a *******. and yeah Hops didn't go out of his way to fight Dawson. Dawson is a bad match up for him b/c of speed and reflexes. B-Hops speed and reflexes have slowed and Dawson has those attributes in abundance.

 

lol hopkins fought the champ lol lol lol lol

hopkins woul dhave beat the chad that fought pascal

but i have a feeling that chad is gone

bad chad might be pissed

 

If Dawson had the drawing power that Pascal has then B-Hop prolly would have fought him by now, imo.

 

20 title defences, they where all hand picked:huh
Dawson cant draw flies, why would a 46 year old wait for a rematch to fight the winner? :dead

 

:huh

Because Dawson has a rematch clause? :roll:

 

hahaha

yes hopkins was that scared of dawson he went and fought the guy who schooled him lmao

 

Have you ever heard of umm lets say style makes fights? Pascal was ahead in the Dawson fight but Pascal got a lucky break from the clash of heads that stop the fight cause before that Dawson was inch away from beating Pascal by tko or ko in the 11th.

 

Hopkins is one of My fave fighters but i dont want to sound biased but i think he is entitled to it, the guy is 46 years old and still beating top fighters has given alot to the sport, who cares if he is dodging one fighter.

Let him do his thing.

 

And lets behonest in the Dawson vs Pascal fight, Dawson landed the better cleaner shots with better combinations. All Pascal did was by running and landing leaping hooks mostly 1 at a time. In the rematch i guarantee Dawson won't wait long to finish Pascal.

 

exactly thank you :good

as you just said ray, to paraphrase, if hopkins was scared of dawson, he certainly wouldn't take on the man whose style made dawson look like a b-level fighter!

these other posters are just hating on b-hop ray. ignore them

 

Hopkins isnt scared of dawson he knows its a bad style matchup for him.

Of course he would, just like some fighters avoid maidana but would gladly face khan etc

 

Are you trying to say that Pascal style is the same as Dawson style? lol. Pascal is easier to hit then Dawson. Dawson is clearly a pure better boxer then Pascal in which is why Hopkins is happy to fight Pascal more then Dawson cause of styles. All Pascal do is run and then land a counter hook shots that are leaping. If Dawson study his first fight with Pascal and watch Hopkins vs Pascal on tape very closely, he'll injust better in the rematch i guaranteed. Pascal style is not hard to figure it out.
