    Dawson a nobody??? didnt he win a title and beat Johnson and Tarver twice

    He is one of the best at the weight and id pick him over a decent amount of the top 10

    i fully agree, I think Dawson tried o shove Hopkins off and may have done it a bit too hard

    or Hopkins being a sly vet tried to over sell the fall to draw a foul but just landed funny

    maybe Hopkins could of continued but he isnt young like in the Echols fighter where he could fight with a hurt shoulder he is 45 or 46

    maybe 5 or 6 yrs ago he woulda fought on but he probably saw the risk involved in continuing hurt

    all in all Dawson is not a nobody and Hopkins is hardly a ***** he may be an ******* but he has an ego and thats whats propelled him he does things his way and takes no ****

    I just don't undertsand the hate for Dawson. How can you discredit a man who makes Bernard Hopkins look ordinary?

    I thought he bitched out mainly because the fall looked faked as fk. Thought it was just his usual trick to get some time out and did not for one second thought the fight would be stopped. Look a v soft fall.

    No. I knew Pascal would have issues in the later rounds with Hopkins once Hopkins had his timing worked out. I thought he put up a big enough lead to hold Hopkins off, but he faded more than I thought.

    Dawson is a different case. His style is perfectly suited to beat Hopkins and beat him easy. Much faster, classic jab, decent in game, and moves well. Hopkins knew it too. ****, my kids hit the ground MUCH harder than Hopkins did playing football, and they get up without crying. the way Hopkins was carrying on your would have thought he fell 20 feet onto a spiked concrete floor.

    And then no doctors evidence of anything being wrong. Hopkins won't fight him again, that is guaranteed.

    Speak sense Keith. I don't know the boxing terminology but I thought Dawson was handling all B Hop tricks that was thrown at him and was intrigued to know how B Hop was gonna to turn it around. Didn't know he was gonna ***** out with a fake fall.
