On October 15th at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, legendary Bernard "The Executioner" Hopkins (52-5-2 with 32 KOs) will defend the world light heavyweight championship against "Bad" Chad Dawson (30-1 with 17 KOs). Hopkins will attempt to make history yet again by becoming the oldest boxer with a confirmed birthdate to defend a world title. (there is a dispute about Archie Moore's true birthdate: he defended the world light heavyweight title in 1959 against Yvon Durelle, and some sources list his birthdate as 1916, while others say 1913). Hopkins regained the world light heavyweight crown in an uncharacteristically exciting rematch with Jean Pascal. Dawson, himself an ex-champ, is now being trained by the legendary Emanuel Steward, but Dawson is coming off a less-than-spectacular, workman-like performance against Canadian Adrian Diaconu. It's no coincidence that Hopkins has now elected to face Dawson, whom he shied away from fighting a couple years ago when Chad was ruling the division with an iron fist. It's also no coincidence that Hopkins is now more comfortable facing Dawson after witnessing him lose Pascal. Read more: www.boxingtalk.com/pag/article.php
