Roach Says Hopkins Should Retire, Not Fight Pavlik

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Freddie Roach, who trained Bernard Hopkins for his bout with Joe Calzaghe, says the two-division champion should retire instead of fighting a dangerous opponent like WBC/WBO middleweight champion Kelly Pavlik on October 18 in Atlantic City. Roach advised Hopkins to retire after the decision loss to Calzaghe. [details]

I wonder if he's figured out that NOBODY listens to him.

[SupremeElectron]

I agree. Hopkins has nothing else to offer. The matchup he should have considered was the rematch with Tito.

[Silencers]

I agree with him. It's better for Hopkins to retire now.

[TheGreatAli]

Good.

Lets hope Hopkins gets starched in there.

Racist.

[MELLY-MEL...]

Freddie may be right.........

Agreed. I would take him a bit more seriously if he wasn't pimping Manny to fight at Welter.

Roach speaks the truth. Hopkins might get KO'ed for the first time.

Exactly. They dont have him in there for career advice. He's there to train. I think when he says anything else they just tune him out. Not to say that he's not correct. I'm just saying.

I agree with Roachie. B-Hop is officially shot now
