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.

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
