Floyd Mayweather: ”Hopkins should fight Dawson, not Jones”!

dawson3454344By Liam Santiago: Although the rematch between old veterans Bernard Hopkins and Roy Jones is receiving plenty of positive hype, it also has its critics. The two American legends, who have a combined age of 84 are due to fight sometime in early 2010. One man who is not in the slightest bit interested is Floyd Mayweather Jnr. Mayweather seems to think a much better challenge for Hopkins would be Chad ‘bad’ Dawson.

On this occasion I agree with Mayweather. If Jones-Hopkins 2 was signed 10 years ago, I would be interested. Not now. Jones is stacking up some good wins against C class opposition while Hopkins is currently semi retired. However, even at 44 years of age, Bernard Hopkins is the very person that could present Chad Dawson with problems. Beating Hopkins is never easy.

Mayweather told CBS Sports, ”I guess we have two Grandads. I would like to see Bernard Hopkins face a better challenge, like Chad Dawson. I don’t want to see it (Hopkins-Jones2). Not taking anything away from Jones, but to watch him against Hopkins, absolutely not.”

    he was asked about the fight by a presenter and thats y he replied,he said he liked jones but wasnt interested in seeing a hopkins fight basically,probably angry after the post fight marquez thing when hopkins and mosley came in talking hard.

  • Paul Mason says:

    Its easy for Mayweather to say who Hopkins should fight but the world is telling Mayweather to get some bottle and face up to Mosley. Will he, of course he wont. He only fights people who he thinks he can beat

  • Cor Lawson says:

    floyd is correct not only is he the best p4p but also a top pundit. hopkins wins easy on points a fight against dawson would be more competative for hopkins.
