Bernard Hopkins v Chad Dawson

[Nameless]

I haven't made my mind yet. Normally I'd say Dawson speed, size and power wise but the old man kind of intimidates me andI promised myself that I'd never cast a vote against him when the odds seem to be against him in a reasonable measure... Now Dawson is trained by Manny, that's also to be considered.

I haven't made my mind yet, it's a tough one because Hopkins is Hopkins, really.

I thought Chad Dawson ate quite a few right hand leads from Adrian Diaconu, and was even stunned a few times. Plus Chad Dawson was lazy in that fight aswell, i was big fan of Chad Dawson but he's let me down a few times recently.

He left it way too late vs Jean Pascal, and could of made a statement vs Adrian Diaconu and didn't.

When he lets his hands go he looks pretty impressive, but the thing is he hasn't in quite awhile. And is always too lazy and relaxed in the ring he needs more fire, i see Chad Dawson having alot of problems with B-Hop.

And if he comes into the ring like he did vs Pascal, Diaconu, then i see him losing.

Dawson wasnt unlucky to lose the Pascal fight. He lost it because hes not a great fighter. A great fighter would have recognised they needed to up the pace or find a stoppage. They would have found a way to win. Like Toney v Nunn. Dawson doesnt have it in him to work hard.

Hopkins will beat him and so would Froch and a lot of other fighters.
