    Why should Hopkins retire?

    I don't overwhelming signs of him aging in the ring, and outside of his iffy as hell fights against Taylor....he hasn't lost a fight since 1993.

    I think he's still capable of fighting for another 4 years.

    the only fight i see him taking is a rematch with jones at lightheavy if rjj can beat whoever that guy he is fighting, and id pick hopkins by KO in the rematch, he doesnt need to fight anyone else

      four years? i think that's reaching a bit considering he's forty one. by the looks of the fight last night, he could have another fight at lightheavy or super middle, and he did say "for tweenty million, i'd get out of the grave to fight". i just don't want to see him blemish this high note that he's on, and end up like most fighters who fight too long and loose.

          Taylor had no business winning the 2 fights against Hopkins.It's funny how peple dont want to mention Hopkins in the same breath as Hagler and Robinson. Bernard is a great fighter and proved it again. Hopkins should not retire, he should fight Calzaghe at 175.

              we cant see him fighting Taylor for the third time man, when a guy beats another 2 times there is no third match.

                    I was very impressed last night, brought me back to the days I really enjoyed watching Hopkins fight. I think he's done and what a fantasic way to go out.
