What do you guys think?
Based on his previous match with Kelly Pavlik, I'll say 2. Amazing athlete he is, in the age of 43 still at the top at his game.
Two fights more.
1. Kessler
2. Roy Jones Jr.
- Would be crazy!
2 more
1st kessler
2nd one of the top cruiserweights maybe the winner of a cunnigham vs adamek rematch...largely hoping that cunningham would be the victorious one as a b-hop vs cunningham fight would generate more publicity and marketing
If B-Hop fights Pavlik next, i'd expect him to win that one, going by the ease he beat him last time. Don't know if Pavlik would want a rematch though? I reckon he'll look to stay at 160 from now on.
Calzaghe-Hopkins 2 or retire. I don't want Bernard to fight Chad Dawson. Bernard'll make it competitive but will have trouble wit young faster fighters. He could win though. That's partially why he lost to Taylor. And Calzaghe was awkward and had just as good handspeed as Bernard, as well as better stamina.
He could have a few more, if they were run of the mill, tune-up/cash-ins, but whatever he does will be high-end, top tier stuff, so i'll say two, maybe 3 if he can finish them decisively and early.
Kessler, sure. Jones, no.
I'd say ''f*ck it", move up to heavyweight and challenge a Klitschko. He's done all he could need to do. He's a legend, and IMO greater than the one most consider the best of the past 10 years (Mayweather).
i think he has 2 fights left in him, he has looked after himself really well and his style that he has developed means that he doesn't have alot of wear and tear on him. they said in the build up to the fight with joe that he is approximately in the same condition as a man who is in his mid 30's and hopkins himself has echoed that statement. so i reckon another 2 fights and then he will retire.
RJJ - as for who hes going to fight well i think RJJ is his number one priority, i cant see RJJ getting into the ring with him just yet, he may look for another fight before deciding how much he has left.
TAYLOR - i think if taylor does really well at SMW then hopkins may even look for a fight with him maybe at a catchweight of 170.
DAWSON - very winnable fight for hopkins, imo he will wait for joe to retire before taking on dawson beating him and then becoming the number 1 LHW once again.
KESSLER - hell no, hopkins wont take this fight, the risk/reward is way too high, besides kess would be a real handful for him.
JOE - this fights just not going to happen.
43 is not that old anymore in the time we are living in. and someone who trains and nutrionalizes as often as Hopkins would definitely be one of those people who fall into that catagory.

Kessler, yes. Roy Jones, no.
RJJ should not get in the ring again.
