"I've been ready for the last three years, man. I've been ready; I've been lobbying for this fight. I had a bad night in Canada against Jean Pascal. A lot of people wrote me off; reporters, everybody wrote me off. Now I'm back. I got the opportunity to regain myself and regain another world title on the big stage against a big fighter, a legend, like Bernard Hopkins. I'm up for the fight; I'm ready...I really don't need to study him so much. I've seen his last few fights. I've seen him fight when he was the real Executioner, when he was really executing. He's not executing anybody anymore," stated former light heavyweight champion Chad Dawson as he talked about his October 15 showdown with light heavyweight king Bernard Hopkins. Check out what else he had to say about Hopkins, the fight, and much more.
