    Perfect Time For Hopkins To Hang The Gloves Up?

    edit: HOW MUCH LONGER CAN HOPKINS DO THIS? WILL HE RETIRE BY 45?

    He's Done So Much Already... And After Last Nights Performance...

    What Could He Do To Look Even Better And Solidify His Atg Status Even More? Nothing Short Of Beating Roy Jones The Same Way He Did Pavlik In The Same Fashion.


    Which Probably Won't Happen. Roy Could Lose But It Wouldn;t Look Like Last Ngihts Great Fight.


    Expectations Are High. He's Looking Like The Best Fighter Out There Right Now. Proved All The Critics Wrong... Re-vamped His Atg Status.


    Great Time To Walk Away Right? .... I Think So! Though I Would Love To See Him Fight Roy.

    Thoughts?

    He needs to fight Roy, if Jones gets past Calzaghe.

    Then retire.

      I think beating the winner of Jones-Calzaghe or Dawson could top it but he should retire if he can't get those fights.

          i THINK DAWSON GETS SCHOOLED... ATLEAST AT THIS POINT IN HIS CAREER. MAYBE A FEW YEARS AND HOPKINS WILL HOPEFULLY BE RETIRED BEFORE 45.

            He could retire right now but if Jones beats Calzaghe that fight would have to happean. To much money to be made for either of them to just leave that on the table.

              B-Hop Vs Dawson. Make it happen.

              Take his 0 away too.

              Bernard is taking them ****s and racking up undefeated records on his resume.

                I really don't know about that one, I'd give Hopkins a good chance if he performs the way he did against Pavlik but Dawson is a natural light heavyweight, fast, throws good combinations, good movement, decent defense, it's a tough fight to pick because Hopkins could just nullify all that with his defense, experience and smarts.

                  If He Were To Beat Jones... would Dawson Even Be Worth The Risk? How Much Money Could Dawson Bring? And Would It Be Worth It, Because Dawson Is Dangerous.. Though I Figure Hop Would Win.
