I never liked the way that Hopkins behaves when he promotes himself but by the time you get to the weigh-in, he has your goat, your dog and someone dead in your past saying,"Shut up Bernard!" He exasperates you. Dawson is not able to keep Hopkins at bay unless he trains in the mountains away from civilization and no newspapers, television or radio. Look at what he did to twist Trinidad's nuts with the Puerto Rican Flag in Tito's town no less. It's like someone said earlier, he has to outwork him and forget about talking to this man because he is the master of lip service and he is undefeated champion when it comes to being a pain in the ass.
