Hopkins should immediately rematch Pascal, win big then retire.

Get it over and done with.

Can you believe '94 was the last time he got dropped!?

Those knock downs showed that Hopkins punch resistance is fading, fast. He could get brutally hurt if he continues onwards ...

[Kimo]

I'm not sure..it looked more like he was off balance...those shots weren't that proper.

[oc9979]

one was to the back of the head.

That too but it's definitely a 'sign' especially since he hasn't been knocked down since '94

[Pu$$yKiller]

Hopkin's wasn;t hurt at all, but he seemd to drop easily until he warmed up and timed Pascal.

Unless Pascal makes it a war like VS Froch, then he lsoes the next fight.

Hopkins is so damn good and ****m is a cool cat.

[S.G.]

Those knock-downs came from Hopkins' legs, not his chin.

[Bushbaby]

B-hop wasn't hurt 1 bit,but he has always had a habit of going down,even if it wasn't a punch,he did it repeatedly against Taylor & a couple other fighters that I can't think of atm,but in hostile territory like that,he shouldn't have let that happen!!I've never seen B-Hop beaten,(Since loosing to Roy),but I've seen people get the W against him because he beat himself though!!

[Ryn0]

I'm not sure his punch resistance is fading, just his balance which does go with age.

He wasn't hurt either times, he was hurt more in the Taylor fight but his excellent balance kept him up.

Its not only up to Hopkins to rematch Pascal, He has to wait for Dawson to get his contractual rematch first and hope Pascal wins because we all know Hopkins isnt too keen on facing Dawson for whatever reasons.

That's a problem though. Hopkins has never depended on his legs, but if they are to the point that shots like Pascal hit him with put him down, he needs to get out soon.

Holy hell Pascal would get embarrassed in a rematch. If he was that intimidated before stepping in the ring with Hopkins, how scared would he be the second time when he knows how much better Hopkins is?
