Roy Jones Jr & Emanuel Steward were "On The Ropes" - NOW AVAILABLE ON DEMAND! 7/13

Yea, the transcript says 3 years.

 

I disagree. He is a good matchup for Hopkins. Hopkins wasnt interested in Dawson who has height, reach adn speed advantage over him and likes to use his distance like Jermain Taylor.

 

Hopkins talking all this ****, yet when Dawson gets his title back I bet he'll be quiet as a mouse. The guy is 46 and still acts like a crybaby. All this baloney about petitioning the WBC to strip Pascal. He just wants to cherry pick the title, knowing if they strip Pascal, it's because he will be tied up with Dawson and so Hopkins won't have to fight Chad for the title. I hope the WBC don't bow down to these fools. As if Dawson-Pascal wasn't controversial and more deserving of a rematch.

 

I don't give a **** about body language but rather about points in a boxing match.

If you think it was a robbery, why didn't you have the courage to tell it to Pascal while you were interviewing him, huh?:think

You scared?:hi:

 

Dawson-Pascal wasn't controversial. That cut was truly horrible.

 

If there were proper and skilled judges Hopkins wins unanimously. By 1 point to 3 points a correct scorecard has Hopkins winning by an average of 114-112. just no way around it.

 

Pascal wants the rematch, does Hopkins want it? not so sure. I think he would prefer to be awarded the title on a silver platter. It would be a real shame for Foreman's record to fall that way.

Hopkins is only gonna be older when the time comes for a rematch. Pascal is still young and will have grown from the experience of the first fight.

Pascal by UD in the rematch, close but clear.

 

Come on, the body language means nothing. We often see both fighters "looking" to be the winner of a fight. What does that mean? That only means they are lying. Pascal was upset about his performance. That doesn't mean he thought he lost.

I had it Hopkins 114-112. I'm not comfortable at all with a 115-111 Hopkins. A draw is not so bad.

Hopkins' cries are beginning to become really ridiculous. Asking the WBC to strip Pascal for a close decision is being absurd. Speaking of the Canadian ref and Canadian judges is plain dumb. There was only one Canadian judge. One was American and the other Belgium, and his team agreed to those officials. So shut up, old man. For once, the referee didn't help you to win.

 

I think Hopkins beats him in a rematch. Hopkins isn't the type to lose rematches really [obviously lost to Taylor, but that was arguable and he wasn't in the best shape probably struggling with the weight].

He's too seasoned and schooled to lose/draw to the same guy twice for me for the most part [again, excluding Taylor]. He'll have learnt more about Pascal from that fight than Pascal would about him. He's also more adaptable and I think he'll see the improvements he needs to make to beat Pascal more than Pascal would see the improvement he needs to beat Hopkins, which was mainly an issue with his work-rate and he'll struggle to up that without gassing early.

 

This comment doesn't even make sense.

Hopkins went to Pascal's back yard, got up from two KDs, walked him down, and outfought him over the 12 rounds.

He earned the title the hard way. And you know it. :deal

 

So Hopkins is actually saying he got dropped twice, and fought to a draw against an amateurish and stupid opponent... :think Yeah, that makes his own star rise.

 

Well he's disputing the knock-downs and obviously - like most - doesn't think it was a draw.

 

Pascal was over-rated. Hopkins should retire.
