    Honestly, I wouldn't mind if he retired right this minute. I always feel untold amounts of anxiety when boxing legends have "one more fight", especially when at such an advanced age in the sport. I hope he faces a part time mechanic/barber/Drake wannabe and has an easy, pedestrian final fight. It only takes one punch to go from slightly punch drunk to a vegetable, and I hope Bhop doesn't take that punch.

      Unfortunately he's not GGG.

        Lmfao. I read on here that GGG paid for the cab fare for his opponent for negotiations or something. Probably paid him in title fight on PPV. GGG vs Deepak.

          Him and Badou Jack would be an awesome fight.

                He should go ahead and get out while he's ahead. A 51-year-old fighting is never a good idea.

                Maybe he will go the Mickey Rourke route- a set-up.

                Or why not just put on an exhibition in Philadelphia? I'm sure he fans would enjoy that and the risk is far less.

                    Hopkins is a all time great but please don't waste our time seeing Hopkins-GGG or Hopkins-Ward. HBO has no $$$ for Lomochenko-Walters but will gladly show Hopkins old boring ass lose a decision. Enough!

                    I have no problem him fighting someone not on HBO or PPV
