Hopkins should retire NOW on top!

[photomane]

Unlike RJJ did when he won the HW belt? Feel free to share your thoughts...

LOL that is what I would do but a lot of these younger fighters are VERY OVERRATED so I understand why Hopkins probably wants to stick around

[IronDanHamza]

I don't think he should.

I think he can beat Bute and Dawson.

Hopkins is in a win win sitation, whether he wins or loses he will get respect.

Plus, I struggle to see Bernard having an embarrasing loss like Roy has had consistently.

He's not that kind of fighter.

I can only command him for having the will to go on and shatter other records. It appears Moore last defended his LHW title around 48.

I think it will get harder for Hopkins now though, no more brawlers like Pascal or straight up coming forward fighters like Pavlik, cause if he falls through with his plans, Hopkins will be fighting slick southpaws from now on. Different game altogether... Judging a future fight between Dawson and Hopkins based on Dawson VS Pascal is ******ed.

Same sentiment here.

To tell the truth i think he should move up to cruiser and get a belt,it would cement his legacy even further.

I hope Martinez fights as long as Hopkins has seeing how he doesn't drink or smoke either.

[ИATAS]

I think it would be the smart thing to do. He's taking more shots now then he has ever in his career.

aging isn't a gradual change, it happens all the sudden without anyone noticing. Roy jones looked fine in his first fight against tarver, then all the sudden he got knocked the F*** out.

I would suggest that to be quite an unrealistic goal.

Hopkins isn't a strong Light Heavyweight.

He is going to struggle incredibly with guys that a 15 Lbs Heavier than LHW's.

He has to stay at 175 and clean up. That's as far I possibly could see it going.
