    dawson is too fast for hopkins I believe at this Point in thier careers... Hopkins would have to smother him in order to win... like he did with trinidad but dawson is 1000 times better then trindad tho

    I actually agree with the Z train here. I think Hopkins is playing this game a little fine and Dawson has speed that will put an end to him once and for all.

    I don't think Dawson is that good, but Hopkins really is that old.

    I think Dawson should beat Hopkins and that Hopkins should get old at some point, but the first Johnson fight showed that Dawson was a sucker for the right hand and that he could be hurt. Hopkins has one of the best right hands in the game and Dawson's volume could play into his counter-punching style. However, Calzaghe showed what a good workrate could do against Hopkins as well. It would really be a pick'em fight in my mind. I'd lean towards Dawson though.

    I think Hopkins would beat Johnson in a fight that no one would give a shit about.

    I would love to see Johnson/Hopkins it would be interesting to see how much has changed since the first time they met in the ring so many years ago. I have no problem with either fight being made, but I would like to see Hopkins take at least a tune-up between now and April of next year (which is when the fight would most likely happen)
    For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.

    Really? I'd (obviously) watch it, but that fight doesn't appeal to me nearly as much as Dawson - Hopkins and I don't know that it would capture peoples attention in the same way that fight would. I like Johnson and I'd be happy to see him get the payday, but I'd much rather see Dawson in his place.

    It would just be insane (in a good way) if Johnson and Hopkins got it on again.If he beats Dawson he would have most certainly earned it.

    I like Dawson over all as a fighter.But think he is moving a bit sideways in career momentum.I keep flashing back to what Dawson said about a 40 year old already beaten Tarver taking him out of his game plan last out.I think Hopkins does that times 3.If Tarver landing right hands and rocking him,no doubt Hopkins as well.
