oh please! dawson was lucky to survive 3 rounds with johnson imagine what hopkins would do to him!besides hopkins hasman uncanny knack of slowing fighters down.
It's tough to say which fight would have been more winnable for BHop. Both are tough fights for the man for different reasons. Adamek has accuracy and power to his game the likes of which Hopkins has never seen, whereas Dawson has fast hands and slick defence that have proven to be Hopkins' bane in previous fights. I say props to Hopkins if he takes on either of these fighters. I will add, however, that facing a man who may well KTFO you (Adamek) takes more courage than facing a man who may well outpoint you (Dawson).
Well he never showed Calzaghe down....Calzaghe took over the fight with higher workrate and stamina. Plus Hopkins wont fight in the forward smart brawler style Johnson does...he applied smart pressure thats just not Hopkins style.
I can't see it happening. Dawson is a much larger problem than Jermaine due to age, reach, better handspeed, and offensive variance. Unless Glen looks really competitive and rocks Chad I expect Bernard to look elsewhere. 45 is old. Bernard is one of my favorites but this would be a terrible reality check.
