      Retire if he's not going to fight Dawson.

        I also agree with this.

            I'd have to agree. This, or fight Dawson. And give that Dawson 18 years younger and could be B-Hop's son, that really isn't warranted.

              I have said this for the longest, but there is no point in fighting Chad Dawson. At this stage, B-hop needs to go for history, or just retire. Beating Dawson does nothing for his legacy IMO, but if he were to beat someone at 190 or possible a David Haye to win a belt at HW (and be the oldest HW champ ever), he would give his legacy a huge boost. I'm not saying it will happen, but I feel he should go big or go home.

              BTW....If B-hop was gonna fight 2 or more fights, I wouldn't mind one of them being against James Toney. Alot of people would **** of that fight, but I would buy it. Toney isn't completely done like Jones and has actually lost only twice (both to a prime Sam Peter) in the last 13 years, while looking great against B and C class HW's.

                Fight Chad Dawson or retire. Leave the heavyweights alone, last thing the Heavyweight division needs is another light heavyweight that was best and primed at middleweight, winning the heavyweight title. Give Dawson a chance to pass the torch, only fight left IMO.

                  A cruiser/HW fight with Toney or Green isn't a bad idea really. But he has no business in the ring with Haye, and fighting, G. Jones, or Marco Huck is just to much of a risk and not enough reward. But with Dawson, you have a young, legit light HW, recognized as the best in the division, just as big as him, who's P4P material. A win over him is much more feasible and would be better for his legacy than the others I think.

                    B.Hop needs to RETIRE!!....nothing left to prove unless he gets a shot at Haye......I even doubt Haye would be interested in fighting B.Hop.....that leaves him with a CW champion or Chad Dawson as the only LOGICAL choices.........I would rather see him RETIRE!!!

                      Now that I think about it, I say I would like to see him fight James Toney. The **** talk, buildup etc would be great and also both are very good technicians. It's a fight I always wanted to see and it would be a great way to end his career.

                      As far as Dawson, that kid needs to make his own legacy. I'm tired of him going after all these old fighters and he needs to man up and face Cloud.
