    That would be amazing. By that time he would be at least 45 years old.

        Yes, he should go up, fight Adamek, out-point him, then retire.

            That's actually what scares me about 'Nard. The older he gets, the more he feels motivated to cement his place in history. It's almost as if he's completely unaware that he's had a spot cemented in history for the last 7 years.

            Though I can't really hold it against him, I mean look who all he's fought past the age of 40.....

            Tarver - Win, lopsided UD
            Wright - Win, comfortable decision
            Calzaghe - Loss, close split decision
            Pavlik - Win, lopsided decision

            That run has established him as one of, if not the grestest over 40 fighters of all time.

            I just hope he doesn't keep on pressing it after Adamek. His legacy is amazing as it is. And being able to go out on top at the age of 45, is something that nobody in recent memory has been able to do.

              he can beat adamek....but that's an "uninteresting" fight.

              since there's no joe, he should hang 'em up.

                  I wouldn't have a problem with either. I think he can move up beat Adamek. He's accomplished so much though. I'd like to see him beat Adamek. That would really add to his legacy, but I'll be fine with whatever he decides to do.

                      I have a feeling he wants that.

                      I don't know why, but I just do.

                      I think fighting Adamek is just him testing the waters, for a run at HW.

                      I haven't been very wrong about Bernard in the past. Don't be surprised if he goes for it.
