I don't see how this fight does anything for Hopkins. A win does little for his legacy. At this point, it seems to me the only fights worth taking for him are ones that will enhance his legacy. I think he should take the Adamek fight. It would give him the legit championship in a third weight class. I think it is also a more winnable fight than with Dawson. Dawson is too fast for Hopkins at his age. Adamek would be similar to Pavlik, a slow, one dimensional plodder who Hopkins should be able to out skill if he can handle the weight increase.
