Hopkins' career began as a loss in Atlantic city....

Or will it end on a win in Atlantic City, 2 decades after he started fighting?

Hopkins came into the boxing world and underdog, he's leaving it as one. This isn't anything new, Pavlik the scary unbeatable power puncher coming up to KO him. Hopkins can win this fight.

God, I hope not. How many more years can he bore us to death.
As good of shape as he's in maybe a lot. Yikes.

Kinda like how the Houston Texans ****** when they started and still suck today?

Only difference is at least hopkins was top notch in between whereas the texans have always ******!

Come on, you have to respect him for that. Looking at him, it's crazy to think this dude us 43, come on. You can see how dedicated he is to the sport by how he is consistently in top shape and has lasted so long.

I hope he retires after this, but if he doesn't I will continue to support him.

I like chubby fighters that have a ton of power. I don't like these workout freaks.
I like when the common man, the Joe Plumber, if you will, gets lucky.
It was so hard for me to pick between Welliver and Odlanier Solis because they were both whales.

I have always been and always will be a huge fan of Hopkins, but the time to hang up the gloves was after the Tarver fight, period. Then he took the Winky fight.... I was confident he would win, he did but he looked slow in the process, THEN he takes the Calzaghe fight...... Go figure, he looks even slower and manages to lose to a guy who cant really hit or hurt.
Now hes fighting Pavlik

let it go BHop, it was great while it lasted.

either way thats a pretty cool to finish.

I mean, nothing beats finishing by dominating Tarver in AC but... still pretty awsome

I think he'd fight again if he loses. Him and Roy could still fight since I think Joe will beat Roy.

And Hopkins never looks like he is on some type of steroids either. I don't know how easy it is to tell, but he always keeps himself fit because he is a always hard at work.
