What should Bernard Hopkins do now?

[+= El Jefe=+]

after defending his crown for
an amazing 20'th time and
pretty much beating every
middle weight worth of a title shot
what should Bernard "the executioner" Hopkins
do now?

-Retire
-Fight Trinidad
-Move up
-Stay A Middle Weight.

Veeeeeeeeeeeery funny!

Seriously though, isn't the rumour that he's going to go up and challenge Glen Johnson? (Glen - hardly heard of before 2004, now EVERYONE wants a piece of him)

**** on his IBF belt and ignore that mandatory defense.

Focus on the winky/trinidad winner or go after the young sturm or Taylor and then a move up to Light Heavyweight to face Glen Johnson provided Johnson beats Tarver a second time.

Plus their is always the option of going to 168 and catching Calzaghe or Lacy which both fighters are to green for the seasoned vet.

I prefer kill a rookie and option A or C.

suck it up be a man and fight sturm

Sounds like he wants Tarver, Johnson, Tito and maybe even Taylor. Im sure what ever fight pays the most.

Fight Taylor, the winner of Trinidad-Wright, or/and the winner of Tarver-Johnson..

If he is comtemplating a fight against Johnson, it could only mean that he is looking for big paydays. Subsequently leading one to presume a fight against Taylor is one of the least likely possibilities.

Although I prefer him to fight Taylor, I think he will either give Trinidad a rematch or fight Johnson. Either of the latter two would be easy matches.

I say he calls out RJJ to fight him at middleweight. Revenge the loss! He might even have a chance at beating him too since RJJ's skillz has really diminished.

Do you think the whole Saturday night was just a more discrete way of selling a headlining match-up, as Sturm-De La Hoya/Allen-Hopkins was for their later match?

Tarver/Sturm makes the least amount of money.

Although Glen and Taylor would probably generate about the most for Hopkins.

The winner of the Winky and Trinidad fight is where its at, permitted Trinidad wins...IF Winky pulls an upset and fights Bernard it wont be as a big of an attraction as the others.

Although Hopkins got 3.8 million for Eastman, I could about 5 or 6 for Taylor/Trinidad
