I bring up Hopkins age because I think that was the difference between Dawson and Taylor fights. I think they were similar opponents for Hopkins, but Hopkins is old. And that is why it is amazing every time he steps into the ring and wins, he's lost a lot of natural ability clearly. I just think any technical guy like Dawson at this age, Hopkins can't beat anymore. He can beat guys that he can control the pace with, like Pascal, Cloud, etc, but Dawson, those kind of technical opponents are a bad style match up for him. I'm sure there's some things Hopkins could have done better against Dawson, but I just don't see how he could have won, not at that stage of his career. Few years earlier, like the 175 Bhop that beat Tarver, I like his chances.
That's crazy about Loreto Garza. Haven't heard that name in a lomg time!
