Call me crazy...but Hopkins should move up to Cruiserweight and snatch that Ring title from Hernandez, or f**k it, move up to Heavyweight and grab a title. Win or lose, retire. He's already the best fighter in the last 20 years, why not attempt to be one of the greatest of all time, top 20 range

And what a ride it's been!! To me he's the greatest active fighter, a real throwback. I hope he ends his career on a high note. It almost saddens me to know this might be his last fight. Warrrr B-Hop, it's been a hellova ride!!:headbang::headbang::headbang: Ain't sad more. The old man has officially ignored father time 1 mo time & furthered himself from the pack. War B-Hop!!:boxing:

That would be something if he unifies the titles by beating Cloud and Cleverly. Damn, haven't heard that kid's name in a while, probably since he fought Bellew. He still has a world title? Wow.

I don't really see the point of fighting Hopkins to be honest, he's boxing's catch 22. You either win (while looking bad) and "oh well, you just beat a 60 year old", or worse, you lose and you just lost to a boxing fossil. Seriously, what is there to gain from fighting him? It's a bad look to lose to him, but beating even an old Hopkins is still something since he's No.2 in the division.

Kinda hoping Borehard Flopkins retires, he's horrible for the sport.

1: he was a light heavyweight defending his middleweight title against blown up welterweights. 2: he is the dirtiest fighter in the sport and a faker, crybaby and all round piece of ****. 3: he beat my all time favourite fighter Felix "Tito" Trinidad, who was a 9/11 hero. f*ck Bernard "peeleft:

A true legend.

I hope Hopkins pulls off an impressive victory. It would be sad to see him lose.

After Hopkins beat Cloud i want him to move up to cruiserweight to take on Juan Pablo Hernandez.

I kind of feel the same. Especially because the ONLY way Cloud wins is either a robbery or a stoppage, either of which would be depressing. I don't like Hopkins, but him going out that way to Tavoris Cloud would suck. Im not sure how legit Cloud's power is, he couldn't stop Campillo who just got stopped his last fight. But this era of boxing seems to be fading little by little so dont be surprised if BHop loses.

I don't like Hopkins, but him going out that way to Tavoris Cloud would suck. No chance Cloud stops Hopkins. No chance at all. Only way he wins is by robbery and with Don King in the corner I'm suspicious.

Not a fan of BHop but Im gonna be a sad panda if he has to retire after a loss to someone like Cloud who IMO is just some guy with power. I kind of feel the same.

Hopkins is going to beat Cloud.

I hope to see him win this fight and retire he has nothing more to prove in this sport and will retire as an ATG regardless of next weekend's results. I've seen him on ESPN a couple times and it looks like his speech maybe starting to be affected a little I would hate for him to risk his health anymore at this point in his life.

He ruins another young fighter. I mean he ruins Cloud really bad whom is very limited. Just look @ all the young guys Bhop has fought, he has ruined them, and they are never the same whether the win or lose, and if they win it's a costly price. Dawson is one of my fav's, but he'll never be the same after his win vs Bhop. Pascal gave Bhop a tough fight, but he'll never be the same. LOOK @ JTaylor, Pavlik, Trinidad, Echols, Syd Vanderpool, . All these guys I named were undefeated, JT, Pavlik, & Trinidad were all favorites vs Bhop. Now just look @ all their careers after BHop, yes they got a few wins, but they were never the same. Glen Johnson was undefeated vs Bhop, but than went on a 15 fight streak winning only 6 and losing 9. He wouldn't see mainstream success until he met a shot RJJ after his KO to Tarver. Than Johnson beat Tarver in a split decision which i thought Tarver won. @ 50 Bhop can school a very limited cloud. Bhop had trouble with Pascal who's more explosive and sporadic with his style than cloud, and Dawson who is highly skilled 6'3 southpaw who is very smooth and athletic compared to cloud. Cloud is strong as a Ox, but his foot work is a no existence, his arsenal of punches are limited.This fight is going to make Bhop look like he did vs Pavlik

Methinks there will be another controversial Cloud win on Saturday
