      First he promised his mom he would not fight after 40, then he said he would retire after winning another title, now this.

          Bernard Hopkins is one of the greatest boxers of all time, if I had style and traits of a boxer Hopkins would be right up there with Sugar Ray (the real one) and Money May

              Check the MMA thread bout GSP vs Silva, I don't think Silva would destroy GSP it would be a closer fight.
              With Hopkins, he needs to not let his pride take the best of him and I don't know why everyone is assuming he will come back. If he does he would be atleast 44 or 45. Do you really think he's gonna be in the right shape. Don't jump to conclusions right away just because a few posters say it

                This is kind of sad for me. I always liked Nard. My second favorite prizefighter of all time. But all good things must come to an end. I hope he has continued success as a promoter and as a father/husband. B-Hop EX!!!!

                    It's a great storyline, will Fitch win, break the all time straight win records and the title? Or will GSP finally make his first successful title defense.

                      Lol I think Fitch is a bit overrated personally. I think Koscheck is better then him, especially after watching Koscheck's last fight and seeing how much he's improved his stand up. I look at Kos as a GSP type who due to superior athleticism will just improve more and more
