Bhop was actually considering the winner of Dawson/Johnson but Jones started calling Hopkins out so he took that fight.
Yes, I'm aware that RJJ is the draw and the major fight. I was in no way comparing Dawson to being a draw. I'm just pointing out to one post, who apparently has no respect for Dawson and thinks Dawson will get owned by Kessler and BHop, that even BHop is very well aware and respectful enough of Dawson's ability that he understands that taking him on could ruin a RJJ/BHop rematch. I understand the business of boxing and what BHop is doing. He should be doing that especially at his age.

I respect dawson's ability just not his heart. I fighter with a big heart knows when to put people away, and a fighter with a big heart does not become lazy just because he's ahead on points. Your probly saying "what does it matter about heart when he's easily beating people?" It's gonna matter when someone like a Hopkins (a dirty fighter) puts him in a dog fight. I just think when this type a fight finally comes along he's gonna be very green and not used to a brawl.
Did you really expect Glen Johnson and Antonio Tarver to be "put away" material I respect your opinion but BHop doesn't brawl. He is dirty but he is in no way a brawler. Brawling would actually be a very bad move for BHop, Dawson has all the advantages there, and he knows that. BHop is a tactician and the best at it. BHop would like to control the tempo and pick his spots.
