What should Bernard Hopkins do now?

[czars_salad]

I respect your opinion Spinks but I truly believe that Tito was not prepared to fight Nard the first fight...remember that was just his second fight as a middleweight and Trinidad's biggest mistake on that fight was that he didn't box and was looking for the KO all the time..

i think so too, any boxer who looks for the KO and nothing else against BH will be in big trouble...

given the chance Tito will fight BH again, i think the puerto rican will box more and move more. lightning will not strike twice on tito

Thats cool and I can see how it did distract Tito, Same way I feel Barrera was distracted with Pacquaio. But in each fight, I feel it still wouldnt make that much of a difference. Tito always has had trouble with boxers, dont get me wrong Tito is great without a shadow of a doubt but I believe Hopkins would move to much for Tito . If Tito caught him maybe, Im still not sure if Hopkins has had his chin tested but none the less if Tito was able to pull it off it would be a hell of a fight for him...But in a likelyhood its possible at this point their careers.

Theres 10months left on his career,so I doubt he can get 3 more big fights in that time frame.I think the best idea is for B-Hop to go for a title at 168(maybe against Calzaghe or Lacy?),than fight undisputed Lt.Heavyweight Champ Glen Johnson for his final fight.

Money wize would be Trinidad...or Tarver. I don't think that Calzaghe, Lacy, or Johnson will be PPV material...unless they get a great undercard..

Either move up and fight Glenn Johnson or Antonio Tarver...or stay in Middleweight and fight Jermain Taylor.

Move up? not in a million times will he do that!

[xrhythmxnxbluesx]

fight sturm or taylor... he already beat tito... no need to do it again...

It's all about the MONEY...Sturm is not PPV material..Taylor-Nard with a good undercard maybe.

nope

Supposedly negotiations for a Taylor-Hopkins fight are already underway, and rightfully so in my opinion.

Some of you guys fail to realize that Glen Johnson has to fight Tarver again and many people feel that Tarver will win that fight, and that he won the 1st fight. If Tarver wins, Johnson can't fight Hopkins for ****...lol. Also, neither Tarver or Johnson will be available until October at the earliest because they aren't fighting each other until June/July. Read up, boys.

Calzaghe has a fight soon I believe that he should win, so maybe he would be an option but Hopkins hasn't really mentioned him. The most obvious choices out there are as follows, based on Hopkins' on words.


1) Taylor, to be fought sometime between late may and mid-June.

2) Winner of Tito-Wright, to be fought sometime in September.

3) Winner of Tarver-Johnson, to be fought sometime in December.

If he is to fight 3 mor times like he seems to imply he would like to, then this seems to me to be the most likely schedule. It wouldn't be unreasonable to think he might only fight twice more this year however.
