The second best way is to lose it to a young lion and make him fight for it, which Hopkins did with a disputed decision i might add. Hopkins is going out in style and will make the hall of afme as an all time great. We will not remember his last days getting the sense knocked out of him like some other champions.
    Couldn't have said it better.

      Thats what it seemed like during the round 4 round coverage I saw.

        Hopkins didn't whine he took the loss like a man. He wasn't knocked out and I dont think hell go on t.v. complaining. He just said he wants people to remember the two fights were competative. I personally would like to see him retire but he said he might fight again. Fighting Wright at this point doesn't make sense, and it would crush every hopkins fan on this board....I just dont see him beating wright at this point and time.....although they're both kind of old it was mentioned B-Hop vs RJJ which actually depending if it was free or hada good undercard i'd watch. I wouldn't want to see him fight anyone else. Hopkins is going to be remembered as an all time great theres no debating that.
