The thing is Hopkins has been inactive, Dawson fought Tarver (who is rated) twice & Johnson has fought twice.

Hopkins is a better fighter but he hasn't done anything to prove he is the best light-heavy in the last year, he talked of going up to fight Adamek or fighting the Dawson/ Jonson 2 winner but they never panned out. Now the Jones rematch will come in the new year.

He can't hold the division hostage all that time
