    What boxers should retire?

    Maybe Bernard Hopkins?

    Danny Williams for certain.

    Frans Botha, Roy Jones, Fres Oquendo...

    Who else?

        I don't care about anyone else, as long as Hopkins retires. It was so hard to watch him in the last couple of rounds against Kovalev. I was scared for his life, seriously. I'm glad he stood up to the final bell, but he's done everything over and over again. There's no need to continue, except stubborness over wanting that title after 50. But that's nothing to pursue in my opinion, he's already the oldest and will stay like that for many decades maybe even centuries.

          Marquez, brought disgrace to his career and the sport, he is now 40+ citing injuries to avoid the 147 champs. Needs to go away already.

          David Haye, enough is enough. No more pullouts and no more fake comebacks. End it.

              Hopkins would still do well against any 168 or 175 pounder not named Kovalev or Ward.

              That said, I have very little interest in seeing him fight again. For the last couple of years he kept beating fringe world class guys easily and we were wondering how he would do vs a prime, elite LHW. The Kovalev fight gave us the answer and now the intrigue is gone. He could still beat the Shumenovs of the world but it just feels pointless.

                  Add Audley Harrison to that list. And for good this time.
