    Hopkins took his soul (despite Dawson winning).

    I said the EXACT thing. Dawson won on pure youth and athletic talent, nothing ore. Propos too him though for gertting that win though, but like most (not all), of Hopkins opponents, they are never the same mentally.

    The second fight was closer than some people think. Dawson was fighting unusual against Hopkins, he was flat-footed and trying to engage with Hopkins. Had Chad just boxed and fought fleet-footed Chad would have done much better.

    I believe switching trainers too much has eroded his skills. Chad would have been better off had he stuck with Steward instead of changing trainers in the middle of a scheduled fight.

    No idea but how does one go from being an elite LHW and beating Hopkins decisively to losing to Carpency?

    I'd put it down to draining Himself down to 168lbs to fight Ward, he wasn't the same after that
