Actually I just made this thread because the Americans here are already moaning that Taylor, Miranda, Pavlik and even Dawson (lol) would beat him. Man, give it a rest, you're like a broken ****ing record; HOPKINS LOST! Deal with it and he's the most wiley and spoiler-esque of all those fighters.
People miss the point, Joe beat the best American in his weight range bar none and still you whine just like you do Mayweather Cotto - GIVE IT A REST!
Whoa whoa..... I have not rated Hopkins the best LHW in the world for quite a while now. I still think Dawson beats him. Stop with the generalization.
Buzz off with this nationalistic ****. The very worst of posters comes out immediately after big fights. Most of us thought Calzaghe would win. And of the fighters you named, Dawson is the one who'd have the best chance. The only arguably more dangerous encounter would be against Kessler in a rematch.
