What should Hopkins do next? Wait? Fight Cloud? Tune up? Retire?

    Yeah, come to think of it - to hell with retirement.

    Get that strap back, B-Hop. Tax Cloud's ass, or get the winner of Pascal/Dawson II.

    We all know you won the Pascal match anyway, but make it official so you go down in the history books yet again.

      Fight Danny Green at Cruiserweight, not in Australia though that would be the place where that fight would make the most money but i'm sure Hopkins won't want to fight out of the US once again after what happened in Canada and I don't blame him.

      Either that, or...well he said he won't sit around again and he sounds motivated to keep fighting but if he waits for Pascal he'll sit down for almost a year. Maybe a stay busy fight with Cloud would be nice. Another undefeated guy on his record at 46 years old, then fight Pascal, win or lose against Dawson.

      Honestly he can have an all-Philly showdown with Cunningham who's no spring chicken himself, they can have it at Philly. There's also Marco Huck for the WBO CW title. Basically just go up in weight and fight either Green, Huck or Cunningham, win a title there and retire afterward.

        Move up to HW and fight Haye or Adamek.

          He wants to beat Foreman's record.

          Cloud has that belt,and would be easier to beat than Pascal.

          Cloud is completely tailor made for Nard, he's so easy to hit,I think Nard beat him easy, Pascal at least had speed and legs.

            He could fight Dawson instead of cherrypicking people he thinks he can beat only to lose.

              Adamek would hurt him bad.

                I heArd at the postfigt presser, bhop said he would fight in Quebec again. That's where he makes the most dough.

                If he doesn't fight bute or pascal, he should start sleepin in till 7 or 8 and enjoy life a little.

                  Fight the winner of Pascal and Dawson or retire. He probably can't move down, or up successfully, so he is at 175 to stay. Those two are the only two guys worth a damn in the division. The rematch or the Dawson fight are the only two fights that make sense.

                      The IBF title is worthless.

                      The WBC title is worthless.

                      The point of fighting Pascal was for the lineal crown. The same one that Hopkins lost to Calzaghe. Even if there was none of the useless, trash belts added to the Pascal-Hopkins rematch, we should all recognise still that it is the legit championship and Hopkins would break a record by winning.
