    Yes, one of these two.

    Both would be good fights. Only slight worry is Adamek's speed. It could be another Pavlik-like exhibition which would be a bit boring. IF Adamek's reach and power can make up for his lack of speed then bth fight would be good and close.

    Dawson is the only fight that makes much sense, though I would counsel retirement.

    I would give him nearly no chance against Adamek.

    Hopkins?

    You gotta be joking if you mean Hopkins.

    Dawson schooled Adamek and you think it makes sense to fight Dawson because he wouldn't have a chance against Adamek?

    I have Hopkins 55-60% favorite against Dawson, and 95% favorite against Adamek. Hopkins will have to have gotten VERY old overnight to loose to Adamek. Not that Adamek is bad - he is not - but this is just a very bad match-up for Adamek.

    I wouldn't give him much chance against either one, but Dawson would at least be at Lt heavy, and hence a possibility.


    Bernard could get hurt if he stays on too long.

    Are you ever going to get over the Dawson loss?

    Seems your whole analysis of Adamek is the Dawson fight. :nut

    ============================


    I can't pick between BHopkins - CDawson or BHopkins - TAdamek

    I heard he was talking about moving down to LHW to take him on.
