    I'm not feeling this very much, it was amazing that he fought at a championship level up to his current age but i think he's just pushing it now. he went out on such a great win and i would just hate to see him "down and out" so to say.
    he has nothing left to prove, he's a great fighter and one of the greatest middle weights of all time. i hope he does well in his comeback because he's always been one of my favorites but i would personally like to see him stay retired.

          I think it's great he's coming out retirement, boxing needs him now more then ever, he's a true legend, and a true champion, I hope he fights Mascaguv (sp?) for the heavyweight title, but I doubt it will happen, but fights with Jones, or Wright are good too. we'll see what happens.

              He stated quite clearly before he retired, that fighting Calzaghe would be a stepbackward for him. He moved up to lightheavyweight, and the only natural step would be heavyweight.

              Its good that he is back as it adds to the mix. But he could be making a big mistake.

                  toney needs to win a belt, then that's the fight that should be made.

                  the fight should be labeled... "OLD SCHOOL"

                    The HW division is water that Hopkins doesn't want to wade into. If he did somehow decide to get into that division, he would need to extremely picky about who he fought. Maybe McCline, or Timur. But if tries to get in with someone that can ****? It's over. I dont want to think about what Dimitrenko, Wlad, or Peter would do to him.

                      B Hop ended his career PERFECTLY

                      I fear he will come back once too many times like Michael Jordan did and will ruin that last perfect performance
