    If he beats Dawson it will be increadibly impressive. He would have beaten Pascal and Dawson. The other two guys in the top three of the devision. He would be the number 1 ranked light heavyweight in the world at the age of 47. Im not sure of this but was Forman ranked number 1 when he won his title at that age or did he just beat one guy for the title and then go.
    I don't think Foreman was even rated, as he was coming of the loss to Morrison, who then got starched by Bentt, plus he hadn't fought in a year

    So it would be quite something. I think after watching the begining of the last fight I would go for Dawson winning. But bhop came back against Pascal so he may have done the same in that fight if the incident would not have happened. I think it will be an exciting fight if there is no dirty moves or play acting.

    I pick Hopkins to win this. Dawson looked rattled after the first fight, refusing the rematch and those antics. It will be close for about 4 rounds then its all Hopkins. Hopkins is very smart and you can never count a smart fighter out.

    I'm really glad this has been made. Sentimentally, I'd like to see Hopkins win but I think it's better for the sport if Dawson wins and looks great doing it (i.e., finally looks like he's reaching his potential). I do think Dawson will edge it -- but it's nearly impossible to look good against Hopkins.

    If Dawson can step up and keep his foot on the gas for all 12 rounds, he should win this and should beat Cloud pretty convincingly. Then the fight I'd want to see in 2-3 years is a fight with Andre Ward.

    Not an exciting fight. But chad didn't deserve to win the way he did, and b hop didn't deserve to get off the hook with the performance or excuse me injury he tried to pull off. Fight settle this shit then the winner fight cloud.

    I think Dawson wins this convincingly. He will win it 8-4 like Calzaghe. He just needs to make sure he focuses on his output and he will outwork the old man.
