    Hopkins Set To Retire After Calzaghe

    Light heavyweight champion Bernard Hopkins is once again set to retire. Hopkins vowed to retire in 2006 after winning a lopsided decision over Antonio Tarver. He quickly came out of retirement in 2007 to win a lackluster decision over Winky Wright. [details]

        Last Fight for B-HOP?

        I wouldnt want to fight Roy Jones after the Tito fight either. Hopkins has been scared every since the first fight. Some guys just have the goods to beat other guys. Hopkins knows that even the present Rjj would still make him look silly. Otherwise, why not be willing to take the most lucrative fight out there for him? Chicken? You decide and give me your opinion. Who would win in Rjj vs. B-hop II?

            I don't think he will want to retire on a loss.

            Roy Jones vs Bernard Hopkins 2 coming up...

              Jones, probably. I can never see Bernard beating Roy.

                  LOL @ calling a then 44 year old Hopkins chicken for not wanting to fight Jones again.

                  Personally, I think Hopkins would win the rematch if they were to have it, but thats besides the point.

                  Regardless, even the fight 15 years ago or whatever its not like Jones whooped his ass and made him look bad. The fight was competitive but honestly very boring and neither fighter dominated any particular round. Jones was simply more active then hopkins and little bit better/more skilled at the time.
