    He wouldn't beat Dawson or Pascal, but he might stand a chance against Cloud if Cloud tried to fight like he did against Glen Johnson.

    Hopkins isn't dominating any division ever again. That RJ fight showed that.

          How so. An easy wide UD win for Hopkins, ina fight where he was lowblowed and rabbit punched blatantly.

            It doesn't look like he's fighting this year, he turns 46 in January and looked like he's starting to slip significantly in the Jones' fight. But I've learned not to write him off, he might still have one or two good fights left in him.

              what beats old man hopkins is a fighter throwing a lot of punches. cloud throws too many punches a round. pascal has a low workrate and runs out of gass.......pascal has much better power then hopkins but we all know hopkins knows how to deal with power (hopkins would have a good chance in that one) dawson b hop. i would slightly favor dawson.

                easier said than done against a guy like b-hop. Pavlik tried to win on activity like calzaghe, but couldn't. Props to calzaghe for managing to do so

                Don't count the guy out yet, i reckon he's got one more good career-ruining performance in him

                wouldn't be surprised if he's around at age 50

                  No, he gets owned by a bunch of top LHW and SMW and even some MW; Dawson, Pascal, Froch, Abraham, Ward, Kessler, Diaconnu, Martinez, Pirog, Williams, Bute, etc. I can't even name them all.

                  Pavlik is a one-dimensional guy with a lot of power but he fought Popkins sick that night.
