Comments Thread For: Schaefer Wants Hopkins To Forget Haye, Retire Instead

[Benny Leonard]

bully stfu hopkins is a ***** and dont defend this man...hopkins is one of the most overated fighters of all time............keep beating little men b hop or guys that gotta drop 40 pounds cause of movies

I said the same thing that Tarver's weight loss effected him in his fight with Hopkins. But the same goes for Tarver getting Jones. At least Tarver found out even if he doesn't want to admit it publically.
Jones Jr, Tarver, Bryd...all did the same damn thing and at their age, what did they expect their odds to be to come out healthy? Too risky. Even Freddie Roach brought it up with regards to Oscar. When will fighters pay attention to history and the odds.

Richard Schaefer, CEO for Golden Boy Promotions, would like to see his friend and business partner Bernard Hopkins retire from the ring. Hopkins, 45, got his revenge over Roy Jones Jr. on Saturday night in Las Vegas by winning an ugly, foul-filled twelve round decision. [Click Here To Read More]

hopkins is a ignorant fucck that is ruining the sport that i love. he should be banned from boxing and banned from anything to do with boxing. his ego is so pathetic. i feel sad to have witnessed a man so dire to erase a loss he would go to any extent to accomplish. he is a disgrace in every way. i wish him bad luck in for the rest of his life.

I wouldn't say he is ruining the sport.
I haven't seen this fight yet but I am disappointed from
what I've read this far. People have a right to follow their dreams
and we have a right to not buy the fights.

Wishing someone a bad life is bad karma my friend.

i agree with schafer.he did get hit in the back of the head and i still thought hopkins should've retired after the pavlik fight.now that he has defeated old washed up roy jones.its time to let the the physical part of the sport go B_HOP. YOU HAVE A LIFE TIME JOB IN GOLDEN_BOY. ENJOY IT

[the mesiah]

For once Richard is rite, now if he REALLY tells b-hop face to face to retire is a different thing.still think he will fight.the only HW I can see him beat maybe is the other old ass, HW James Toney, I think he has the nabo or ibo belt.it wouldn't sell for **** but it would add to "legacy" in that he won a hw belt. Even though it shouldn't count cuz let's be real it is Toney after all.if he would have been sent out on a stretcher last nite he wouldn't have heard the last of that from Roy or any other fighter out there .

Hop doesn't get hit cleanly often but it would only take one showt from Haye to end his career. Hope he doesn't go that route.

Real talk by Schaefer

[laughstock]

I think B-Hop Should definitely fight the winner of Holyfield-Botha.

I don't see how he could possibly beat Haye. He should either retire or fight Dawson.
