    What's next for Hopkins?

    Win, Lose or Draw, what do you think Bernard Hopkins should do after fighting Winky Wright? And as a side question, how will his reputation be effected if he loses? Or if he wins?

    if he wins he should retire
    and i believe he will win

    if he loses i dont think his pride would let him go out on a loss so i could see him go after jones

    but that prolly wont happen seeing as jones vs trinidad looks to happen

        If he wins, face Calzaghe or Dawson. If he loses, either retire or move up to fight for a cruiserweight belt.

        If he wins, I think he will push hard for a RJJ rematch. He'll never get in the ring with Dawson or Calzaghe imo.

          You are the only other person I know who has openly picked Hopkins to beat Wright, aside from myself. A clever man you must be. I think Hopkins easily outsmarts Wright and adds even more foundation to cement his legacy upon as one of the greats.

          As for myself, I concur with you. After defeating Wright I'd lov eto see him slip out into the sunset ontop for the second time. However if he loses, as you said, he'll not retire on a loss and since Jones and Trinidad is almost a done deal. Perhaps the winner of Calzaghe/Kessler would be in order.
