    Word is Hopkins will be having a final fight this year. Some have been speculating it might be Andre Ward or even perhaps Gennady Golovkin.

    Any thoughts?

    Could be, but the way Hopkins was speaking gave me the impression it would be against someone far tougher who would be a clear favorite, and I don't see Chavez fitting that bill.

    I'd be very surprised if this fight came together, but if it did, and it happened at like 168 - I think Hopkins could beat Gennady still. Golovkin is no Kovalev.

    I'd prefer him face Stevenson, but he's probably waiting to see how Abraham/Ramirez turns out.

    OK. And no, I meant the announcement for Hopkins' next opponent is coming in the next week or 2 I had thought. Not certain. But if I'm right I think that eliminated them from the field of candidates.

    I'm thinking it might very well actually be Ward or Golovkin. Do either of them officially have something signed?
