Bernard Hopkins is Not Rushing To Fight Again, If at All

[NeXt In Line]

He has one fight left, I know it. I mean the Pavlik fight was awesome, but I'd love to see him fight either Dawson or maybe Adamek?

[MissDeeCole]

Im sure he isnt. He'll never have another night like he did against out of his weight class pavlik. he'll never have another performance that gets the same amount of praise, or be able to secure another big time win with as little dirty/boring tactics as it did that night

[Da Hammer]

He should just retire, there is nothing left for him to do in boxing he has done it all!!! Retire on the high note that was the destruction of the young bull Kelly Pavlik! Hopkins although at times could be as boring as anyone ever was well he still put on a clinic various times throught his career and will be missed!

Hopkins is a natural 160 pounder. In his later 30's he had to diet and work a little harder because your body gets bigger as you get older. He always kept his body in great shape, and thats why he was abel to make 160 pounds EASILY for many years. And he's number 2 p4p right now. If he does anything i think he should get the cruiserweight title, to add more to his legacy, or *if he can get Calzaghe out of retirement (*****)* get that rematch.

i reckon he should go up to cruiserweight and own one of the weak titlists in that division, then call it quits

[KostyaTszyu44]

even if he does retire now, he will retire an ATG

hopkins is probably the smartest fighter ive ever seen, up there with floyd, toney etc

he has shown technical brilliance is just as if not more important than raw power and blurring handspeed

naw... let him at valuev...

what are you thinking man? just the thought of that fight happening makes me sick. I don't want to see valuev against anybody. even the klitschkos.

how do you know he's a natural 160 pounder? he had like 15 fights above 160 before he settled down to the mw limit. He's weighed in at 175, 171 and 169 during that span. I'm not saying he "isn't" a natural mw but how could you say that for sure? what defines natural?

[Boxing Scene]

Yeah that's all we need is a nother boring cheating hugfest by Hopkins. I can't wait to see him hug and hold and cheap shot on his way to another boring win.

Everybody says he was a big man in a small division. If he WEIGHT DRAINED himself for all them years, he wouldn't have been able to do what he did. He would be weight drained. His body could make the 160 pounds easily, because he kept his body inshape, unlike other fighters like Duran, Morales, Hatton, ETC. who gain 30-40 pounds after fights. He was a gym rat, and he came in at a lot of fights at 156-157..
