Hopkins claims he will not fight past 41 he's already fought to long for me already. I would like to see him fight Taylor,Trinidad, and Wright then if they really want to see him lost that badly make him a offer he can't refuse against Tarver/Johnson winner at 175, Calazaghe/Lacy winner at catch weight or RJJ at 175.

I still want to see him fight Roy Jones Jr. again, but seeing as though that's becoming less and less possible, I would like to see him fight the winner of Wright/Trinidad, and then retire after exposing Taylor..

That sounds like a good plan. and if taylor wants to just wait until he retires he could fight Gatti.

Perfect scenario for me. Taylor vs Hopkins. Heir apparent vs king, throne is passed down after Taylor wins a decision.

Trinidad, and if he gets past him, there is really nothing esle but to move up in weight, and KO Johnson for history, once again.

Taylor and then the winner of Wright/Trinidad....but I think that Taylor would beat him.

Yeah, he could fight Gatti or Cotto...both would be good fights..

Taylor and then the winner of Wright/Trinidad....but I think that Taylor would beat him.

How about Taylor/Trinidad, who wins this one?

He'd be cheating his own legacy if he didn't silence Taylor before his retirement.

Only then will the Hopkins legacy be on par or above Robinson's, and I'm sure he knows this, and that's why he said he was ready for a young bull. That young bull will likely be Taylor.

That's a good one...Taylor could outbox Tito, but if Tito hurts Taylor is nite nite for Jermaine...Hard to pick, but you know I'll be rooting for Tito.

Jones
Tarver
Johnson

Any of the three would be fine.

although taylor is a definate underdog to nard, i'd pick him to pull off the upset... nard's gonna lose to somebody sooner or later, taylor seems like the most likely candidate... i'd also like to see nard vs lacy, that would be a pretty good fight

Taylor,Trinidad,Roy Jones jr. :boxing:
Why people vote for Trinidad and Roy Jones agian? He already KO Trinidad so why fight him agian, I see money issues only. Also the fight with RJJ before he lost 2 times had a sense but right now what would this prove? If he lose this would be a big lost of credibility, if he win then everybody can say that he won over retired man.

He should definitely jump up and try to win a belt overe there whoever he can fight.

Cuz that's were the money is at...There's no doubt that a rematch with Trinidad will make him more money than fighting Taylor, Sturm, Tarver, Johnson, or Jones.
