i've said it once...i'll say it again....bhop has bitch in him. i am totally shocked that he took this rematch. he's getting his ass beat if he comes to fight.

it may have been another genius mind fuck from Hopkins. If he can get get a young hard headed Dawson to swing for the fences then we might just be looking at another upset. (Even though that's what im wishing for). He's mad, no doubt about it, but it may lead to his demise.
Which leads me to my second point. A younger, stronger, Pascal beat Dawson. Thing is he didn't beat him using his youth or any of that. He took Dawson out of his game plan. Which we ALL have to admit only has a plan A. He doesn't have the ability to make in the ring adjustments and can't deal with great deal of activity. Bernard is a master with taking a fighter to school by slowing the fight to his pace and making it his.

I think Dawson should honestly give Bernard his due, and act like a champion. Not bitching about dumb shit like "oh he wont even look in my eyes".. and blah blah,.. trust me, the last thing Bernard is is scared of this dude ..

Absolutely on point Box! He's mad because of the way the fight ended, and most of us are mad because we ordered it. I, for one, wasn't that disappointed, because the undercards saved it, but oh well.

Im glad you referred back to the Pascal/Dawson fight, because he had Chad looking like a sitting duck. We all know that Jean "the beefcake" Pascal isn't all that technically sound, but he does have ways (pressure, bullying) of throwing guys off, and for God's sake, he takes risks, unlike Chad.

Hopkins is a master of taking a fighter to school by making it his fight, but that also leads to a boring fight most of the time. We all know that Chad will just stand there and look at you for half of the fight, so imagine him being off of his game in addition to that.

an innocent man never needs to explain he lets the video do the talking, but obviously the video isn't in his favour...

I agree.

Oh yeah, now that Box brought up Pascal/Dawson, I remember somebody else "suddenly" injuring their shoulder during the fight. Chad admitted it to his trainer between rounds, but when asked in the post fight interview, he said it never happened.

What a loser, now he blames Bernard for faking an injury just to cover things up and get out of the fight. This is pissed, but hey, it may cure us of boredom throughout the build up, and maybe the fight as well.

The fundamental difference b/t the two (and generally doesn't lend itself to your hypocrisy theory) is Chad actually tried to finish the fight and had Pascal hurt late (that and Pascal's Bugatti Veyron gas tank was sittin' on "E"). Chad had a pretty good cut, but kinda funny they stop that fight, right there on the spot..IMMEDIATELY after it happens, don't you think? They don't let him finish the round and see if the corner can stop the bleeding.

Again, Chad actually wanted to finish the fight, whereas, BHustler, IMO, was fine w/ being able to make Olive Garden before they closed.

Love this man good post

I like Dawson a lot...he's an up front guy and I can tell he's honest when he speaks

That being said I hate the fact that sometimes he just seems lost in fights
He has the skill and power to get people out of there but at times he just stands there in front of a hurt guy putting his right hand jab out there an doing nothing else. I have no clue why he does that, and it pisses me of lol.

Now vs Pascal we all saw when Dawson's trainer said it's time to give me these last two rds, get this guy out of here.
We saw a very brutal combination Dawson come straight at Pascal.

I found it funny how Pascal pointed at the ring doctor and the fight was quickly called lol

Nobody's fault but Dawson's because he had Pascal out on his feet a few times and did nothing but look at him.

Now I was never a fan of Bernard, I can admit he has great ring generalship and knows his stuff...
But the guy is simply a dirty fighter, and has BS his way out of many fights in the past or faked being hurt to buy time....
How is this respected? fighting at 47 is dope as hell, but at what cost?
To be a bitch...lie, cheat and fake people out of their hard earned money.....
Bhop will not show up to fight, and if he does he will try to get out again...making this difficult for Dawson because he might be scared to go to the body in fear of Hopkins faking hurt.....

Watch

Also quick edit; I said a while back on here If Bernard Hopkins beats Chad Dawson like he did Jean Pascal I would be very impressed.

Everyone wants to talk about how Pascal beat Dawson, yet we are all boxing fans and should know that sometimes everyone has a bad outing. Everyone is not Floyd Mayweather Jr. Dawson lost because to me he looked mentally lost. Remember he had a lot of outside personal problems before the Pascal fight. His pops and him split after a fight, problems with his promoter, and team members, he literally moved to Las Vegas to get away and train. That could do a lot to a fighter mentally and it showed in the fight.

Thing is I can bet anyone on here if they fight again Chad wins that fight easily.
Saw how quickly Bernard hopped his ass up and fought Pascal but ducked Dawson for 3+ years? not strange to anyone?
Bhop knows that Pascal is an easier fight then Dawson...

Dawson is going to retire Hopkins....
Hopkins has been again forced into this fight and see's the mental games are not working on Dawson...
Just watch the last fight man...I am tired of typing the same shit over and over watch the last damn fight
You will see Dawson pushing the fight and Hopkins running and doing dirty shit in close...

Done with this topic...lol had to get that off my chest because seriously this is ridicules there is no reason to dislike
Bad Chad
Hopkins is the known cheater here people come on
