Bernard Hopkins on possible retirement

http://blogs.nypost.com/sports/willis/archives/2008/12/mosley_has_expl.html Bernard Hopkins says he has been "forced into retirement." Hopkins, who turns 44 next month, wants to keep fighting, but doesn't see any worthy opponents after handing Kelly Pavlik his first loss last October in Atlantic City. Joe Calzaghe won't give him a rematch and Chad Dawson isn't a big enough name. "It's not like I want to retire, but I'm not going to fight a meaningless fight just to still be fighting," Hopkins said. "It has to be another super star and Chad Dawson is not that. I like Chad. He is the future of the light heavyweight division and maybe cruiserweight. But I think the performance I put on in October, that's the last you might be writing about Bernard Hopkins."
