1. Hopkins - this fight needs to happen to settle all the questions right now. 2. Dawson - he's 6'3", undefeated champion and probably at his prime, this will be a great fight. 3. Pavlik - I would love to see how this fight plays out.
You are getting way ahead of yourself. It's premature to call Kessler and Dawson HOF type fighters at this point.
There is one fight out there for Joe right now and it is putting 50,000 asses in Yankee Stadium to fight B-Hop.
Dawson is the best fight around. I would pick Joe to win, but Dawson is so damn good it would be nuts. Unlike Kessler, Dawson throws punches in bunches and from as many different angles as Calzahe does. There is no way BHop will fight Calzaghe after seeing that performance. Bhop isn't interested in losing a fight this late in his career. If BHop doesn't have the balls to fight Dawson like a REAL CHAMP, he should go up to heavyweight and fight Ibragimov, at least then if he loses it would be understandable.
:yep Dont think a Hopkins fight proves anything for Joe. I think Joe said he wants Hopkins post fight. I think he has cemented his legacy and does not think Hopkins is a threat. Do you think Hopkins has anything left? I have not seen him fight in a while
