    Wtf is Bernard Hopkins sittign around for?

    He has been inactive since October, and at his age he can't afford to take more time off. His fight looked like a one sided sparring session, so it's not like he needed recovery time. Hopkins needs to fight someone quick and soon or retire.

    By the looks of it he is about ready to retire.

    He was in the exact same sitation after he beat Tarver, I remember that very well. He retired but missed Boxing too much so he came back.

      Adamek fights regularly so he probably could get Adamek to fight in late August or October.

          Call me crazy, but I would like to see him fight Valuev in the states and retire as a Heavyweight titlist.

              I was thinking that too, but Valuev is probably going to lose to Chagaev, and Chagaev is probably too strong for B-Hop at this point.
              Hopkins is probably just going to retire, he should have done it right after the Pavlik fight.

                  It'd be crazy for him to go from 170-175 all the way to 200 or so pounds. Going to crusierweight would be bad enuff...

                  Fight Dawson/Froch/RJJ or retire...

                    I was wondering the same thing just a little bit ago...I was hoping maybe, just maybe that him and roy jones would FINALLY have their rematch...Well, so much for that...Then he turned down Adamek..He don't want Chad Dawson either, so I have no idea what he is gonna do....Maybe he can have a third fight with washed up Taylor and whoop his ass finally...
