You Guys agree to Bob Arum Statement?
Oscar thinks because Hopkins can fight so well at 50 that it should be easy for him to fight well at 42. Hopkins is a freak. Most fighters are way past prime at 35 no matter how hard they train. Oscar is one of those fighters who was way past his prime at 35 as the Pacquiao defeat clearly showed weight drained an all. At 42 Oscar is completely shot. He couldn't hit Mayweather with a hand full of rice and GGG would KO him in the first round in my opinion. He is rich and in the hall of fame and he should stay retired but it's his choice.
Oscar needs to stay in retirement. He had a great career and he fought the best. Won some and lost some - no shame in that. He should focus on the next phase of his life and career as a promotor now.
