I always pose this ?, the guy is 35, how many fights does Kostya have left?Too me i think he has at least 4 fights left in him.These are the fights that could make his career even better.This is if he gets by Hatton
1Floyd Mayweather
2Oscar De La Hoya-if he moves up to 147
3Zab Judah-once again this time at 147
4Diego Corrales-If he moves up to 140
I wouldn't be surprised if he kept boxing to 40 like hopkins. He doesn't rely on speed, so it is foreseable that he could be around for a little while yet.

I like that lineup but I would also like him to get a huge money fight with gatti as well. I would probab;y put that between oscar and zab.
I was gonna say 3 tops; no way he'll linger around much after age 36. I just don't see him as the type who NEEDS boxing. He always talks of his family and I believe that's the only reason he's still fighting. His name and earning potential are the best they've ever been and he wants to capitalize and get out.
Proviiding King Kostya gets by Hatton, he will have one, or maybe two more fights......most likely against Gatti and perhaps Judah.
Although I can only see him having one more after hatton and it will be a mega fight against a big gun like Gatti, DLH.
