Hopkins-Stevenson

[jas]

If there's one fighter in the sport who gets a pass it's bhop.

It would be massively disappointing to see a true lineal championship bite the dust as it has added lots of drama to the light heavyweight division.

Saying that who could begrudge BHop going out on a victory like that after a hall of fame career that's lasted longer than I've been alive? It would be a great story

Not many fighters can be 50 and accused of ducking lol

Exactly. Technically, this scenario would be ducking, but it's old ass Hopkins. He doesn't owe anyone anything.

At this point, Hopkins can do whatever he wants. He has nothing left to prove.

He doesn't. At his age I don't see how anyone could begrudge him retirement even now.
