This fight needs to happen, its one the most important fights in boxing, and two guys who should or are in the top 5 p4p fighting. This is a huge fight and I would like to see it. I felt Hopkins beat Calzaghe on the knock down in a really close fight, but I think Dawson is or will be better than Calzaghe before his career is over, he's harder to hit, he's faster, throws real punches, I think special things are in store for us between him and the deep, deep 168 pound field, but first he needs to beat Hopkins if he can. The biggest problem Hopkins had with Calzaghe was output, and Dawson is the huge output kind of guy, also Hopkins looked very quick and had plenty of stamina for his fight with Pavlik. I just don't see Dawson's problems which are mostly his defensive foot movement(which is choppy and way too slow) causing him troubles against Hopkins, and I think he would have a lot more success against Hopkins's defense because he is the fastest guy Hopkins will ahve fought since Jones in 93, and he's a lot more calculated and goes to the body much better than Calzaghe.
