Bernard Hopkins

Saw what I think was a repeat of Hopkins lifting one of the a light heavyweight crowns from a French Canadian fighter?  With that fight he became the oldest fighter to ever win a title, I believe I heard.  Has Hopkins fought this fellow before and lost to him?  Forgot his name.  Who's he fight next?

Jean Pascal.
Fought him to a draw 6months before this fight.
Next up Chad Dawson, the guy Pascal beat before he fought Hopkins the first time around.
I think Dawson might pull off a win against Hopkins.

Thanks, Mj.  I'll catch it if I can.  Did Pascal win by KO over Dawson?

Yeah I think in the 11th round.
Pascal is an explosive (and wild) fighter, he caught Dawson during one of his explosive 'splurt'...

Pascal won by technical decision.  Pascal was ahead on points and very close to being knocked out when Dawson was cut by a headbutt and they went to the scorecards.  If you enjoy boxing Boxrec is the place to go for records and a kind of "objective" ranking of the fighters  (they have a numerical system of points) .  Here is the pertinent link on Boxrec  http://boxrec.com/media/index.php?title=Fight:1499214
