I agree with you that B Hop would make him look amateurish but in his prime, this version wouldnt be busy enough to keep him off of him imo. Hopkins is my fav fighter but he needs to fight a certain type of fighter at this point in his career. His last L was to Dawson breh or did you get their names confused.

No. I didnt get them confused. What I mean by my statement (B-Hop can capitalize on Dawson's mistakes/losses)....Dawson lost to Pascal....Hopkins exposed Pascal (what Dawson shouldve done). Now if Hopkins fights Stevenson...I'll bet you Hopkins wins or loses a close/disputed decision. Hopkins knows how to fight these guys. Dawson is a very emotional guy who is rarely mentally locked in...plus his defense isnt as good as Hopkins. Like I said...Chad uses athleticism to shortcut and for that...he probably is headed for Zab Judah status....which is a guy who couldve achieved more if the mental engagement in training and fights were consistently present.
