Why should Hopkins retire?

[Piggu]

I would be interested in watching Hopkins-Jones 2.

[Super_Lightweight]

Yeah but Hopkins is 41, its not like Hopkins is young...

That's the point. Hops is able to beat a 37 year old like that...not a young buck like Taylor. Tarver was easy work for Hops unlike Taylor.

i would love hopkins-jones fight

but if b-hops retires right now it'll be aiight

[blockhead]

i would love to see hop stay at 175 and deliver the beating of roy jones life to him.

[oldgringo]

He obviously still has it in him to give us great performances, I just think that this is the perfect way for him to go out. If he were to fight again he definitely shouldn't come back down in weight much. He's already old and the effects of dropping to 168 let alne 160 could be very bad for him.

i hate the thought of hopkins retiring but at 41 years old its the smart thing to do

[JMCbulls]

i think he has a new career, whether or not he accepts it is a diffrent question, b/c i think he has a future still. that sounds funny when talking about a 41 year old in the sport of boxinfg, but its true.

He's made his money, he's had an excellent career. Yes, at 41 he can go awhile longer because he's kept himself in great condition instead of getting fat between fights and having to get back in shape all the time. But why not go out on top. Unless, of course, the Roy Jones rematch comes up as a possibility.

[Crumble]

what a great way to go out! dude has to retire. Like Scap says Calzaghe is the only big fight out there for him and I don't think he can win that one.
