High workrate is what beats hopkins especially at this stage of his career. Say what you want about jermaine taylor's ring iq but it was actually his country boy attitude that gave him success against hopkins. He didnt waste time thinking with hops.u cant try to outhink hops. Taylor just took the fight to him and stayed busy, not giving hops much time to think and react. Taylor beat him through activity and calzaghe took the similar approach.

If dawson wants to win, he has to let that shit fly without spending time trying to outhink the old fox. He must use his youth and attack with conviction. If he can show effective aggression, thatll be even better but whatever he does, he needs to keep up that workrate.
Dawson is 4-0 against old-timers so far...
Yes, but BHOPs is 2-0 against the same 2 old timers. And he beat both guys much worse than Dawson did. He beat Glen Johnson the way no one else ever did. And he made Tarver look very bad.

None of these outcomes have anything to do with BHOP/Dawson.

Dawson lost to Pascal and BHOP beat Pascal.
That outcome has nothing to do with BHOP/Dawson.

The only thing that matters is how they match up. Dawson has the jab and handspeed to give BHOP trouble. BHOP has the mental fortitude, desire, and attitude to push Dawson. What wins out?
