I know it wasn't the best fight to watch against Eastman, but you have to admire what this man has done in boxing 20 defences of his MiddleWeight title, having done this do you feel he is the best p4p fighter at this moment or do you feel he still has to fight the likes of Tito again or Winky at middleweight, Calzaghe at super Midd and Tarver or Johnson at Light Heavyweight to prove he is the best p4p fighter??

which fight should he take next? or will he just go for the biggest pay day?

I think X is 1, Floyd is 2, and Zoo is 3. I think Taylor would give him problems and could upset him but I dont see that fight happening yet. The Tito and Johnson fights arent until later this year so I dont know who he can fight in the spare time but I would love to see him fight Ouma or Sturm. Those would be great fights

Hopkins would outbox Taylor at this moment, Taylor is the future of the middleweight division and i can't see them putting him in with hopkins.

I can`t see the point of staying at middleweight as the fights on offer aren`t that appealing. Taylor i guess may deserve a chnce but is it worth Hopkins time to take that fight. Tito has already been handed a one sided beating at the hands of Hop so as far as that goes there isn`t any other reason but money. Glen Johnson offers lightheavyweight glory but again, he`s already handed Johnson a one sided beating several years back, i don`t think Johnson has improved that much to alter that result. Tarver is coming off a loss to Johnson so what point is there in fighting guy number two. Sturm`s claim to fame is losing to De la Hoya, a man Hopkins KO`ed, he doesn`t get my vote. Hopkins should leave the middleweight division and see about securing a fight with the highest ranked fighter closest to his weight by November time.

I want Hopkins vs. Taylor real bad because it would show that eve at 40 Bernard Hopkins is still the man at 140.
