    how long can hopkins keep it up?

    how many defenses of his title do you think he has left in him? surely hes gonna grow old pretty soon, its amazing what hes doing and i think hes the ****ing man, 1 of the most dedicated hard working hard thinking fighters ever to get in the ring ... but his age about to catch up to him

    Funny sig by the way. Regardless, as much as it sucks, since I love the guys career and accomplishments and skills, I'd say no more than two important fights.

        I think he can fight until he's 45 against certain opponents. He should stay away from a young beast like Dawson for example. Archie Moore was Light Heavyweight champion until he was 45 I think. It can be done.

        P.S. your sig made my **** move.

          After my doubts in him before the Wright fight, I'd say he could go until 45.

            He's a smart fighter that hardly gets hit. If he keeps it up.He can change his style to be even more cautious and be a Larry Holmes.

              Sure, he can go on for a while, I meant in a truly meaningful role. He's limited to about two fights at this point.. (Joe and Jones)

                He should fight roy jones right now.....If he wins then Wait for Kessler and Calzalghe until after he takes out Jermaine taylor in a 3rd fight.

                Stay away from Dawson I think.

                    He's be smart and beat Bell pretty easily I think. Mormeck might cause a rpobelm or two, though.
