    Hopkins lost some of his muscle and that help him move more. He pounded Pascal to the body and with Pascals stamina in the later rounds it was obvious he would tire. Dawson is slow and it will be a boring fight and lets not forget that Pascal beat Dawson...

    I completely agree ... he's done enough to choose who he wants to fight .... I'm just putting it out there ... I know it won't affect his status as an ATG but hopkins doesn't want anything to do with dawson ...

    I don't think Hopkins thinks in his mind that he can't beat Pascal. Okay, he didn't get the official W, but a lot of people had him winning and I'm sure he believes he can put on a more convinving performance the second time around.

    If you mean, like, as a person or something maybe.

    But when refering to them as boxers, its hard for that statement to be legit since, uh, Pascal did beat Dawson via convincing td, if I'm not mistaken.

    Yes I can ... hopkins will never fight dawson ... hopkins knowa what he's doing ... tarver, pavlik, jones and pasqual. He knew he could neutralize their strenghs and exploit their weaknesses .... to his credit he fought all of em but jones when they had a buzz going... so the reward was higher than the risk ...

    Calzaghe backfired ... he under estimated him he thought he could counter him and control joes output with solid counters and it backfired

    With or without dawson he's top 3 of this era

    Shut up .. u know nothing about me ... trust me there isn't anyone getting a liver shot on me just like that ... I can defend myself too ... quite well actually ...

    what about my "speculation" gave u the impression that I have "non-boxing knowledge" ... if hopkins retires and doesn't fight dawson I would stand correct, right? So with all due respect. WHO THE **** R U TO SAY WHET AN "INCORRECT CONCLUSION" IS DRAWN ... well just have to wait and see

    Just because we don't agree in something doesn't mean I don't know **** ... I have my reasons and if they do fight (which I highly doubt) then u can have the pleasure of sayin "I told u so" .... in the meantime SHUT THE **** UP .... if ur not gonna debate **** then don't say ****

    I Agree with most of it but I think dawson would be too slick for hopkins ... dawson is very versitile and can punch from various angles... he doesn't only though jab cross hook ... he mixes it up and throws uppercuts and fluid 4 5 punch combonation .. granted in spurts but very unpredictable .. and at this stage of his career hopkins wants none of that

    I don't think he failed vs pascal ... and I think he's very confident vs pascal .. lol on the contrary I think pascal isn't too confident in fighting hopkins this time around

    It might be a boring fight ... but dawson was putting a lot of pressure in the later rounds and he hurt pascal with that uppercut ... dawson isn't slow he just doesn't move around as much ... he has fast hands and fast upper body movement ..he limits his movement to save energy

    I think so too. Dawson ain't easy to fool with pot shotting/waiting for open up/ counter punching.

    If fighter A loses to fighter B doesn't mean fighter B is better ... I think pascal fought a very disciplined fight .. good stradegy and dawson had a bad rhythim .. chads game plan was all wrong ... but when chad let his hands go he did more than pascal ... pascal won because he was more active .. pascal was in and out and it bothered dawson .. hopefully pascal wins so he can rematch dawson

    Yeah, i'm also one of those old-fashioned types that thinks if a fighter beats another fighter he's better than that fighter...you know, generally.

    Style wise Chad is a bad match-up for him so he would probably not take the fight.
