Your alone, this aint like any other fight. Hopkins age will be truly evident against Chad, he will apply pressure and throw alot of punches for 12 rounds solid. Bernard is going to fight Dawson's fight. Although I believe a prime Hopkins would beat Chad, I think Dawson would still cause him problems.
I'm old. Whats a div? :huh p.s. I voted against the old man. Just think its an awful styles match up for him. Chad falls into the same catagory as the other guys who have beaten Hopkins. Athletitc, faster then bhop, and throws lots of coombinaitons. But you never know with a willy vet. When you give a guy like hopkins enough time to work on his conditioning and game plan he can make the impossible possible.
Hopkins will win outright, or will lose a controversial decision. Chad is not on Bernard's level. Chad will be hitting, air, shoulders, and the back of Hopkins' head all night. Does anyone think Chad is as good as Calzaghe? I don't. Hopkins made Calzaghe look bad, and did pretty much all the clean work. I think the same will happen in this fight.
Of course I'm siding with BHop. Never bet against the man especially when he's already had two rounds experience of how you fight.
Is that a biased opinion :tong No but seriously, I think Hopkins knows himself that this task is way too big for him and he will probably have to resort to dirty tactics. I'll be a neutral, seeing as I'm a fan of them both but I don't see how Hopkins wins this fight. He wont be able to slow the pace down and even if he does, it wont be as effective against the younger, stronger Dawson.
:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl Hopkins made Calzaghe look bad because he faked low blows, clinched, grabbed, wrestled, and held the whole fight after throwing one punch. He fought like John Ruiz and ruined the fight and I have no doubt he will ruin this fight also with his illegal and boring tactics.
