    At 51 years of age, B hop would be the best challenger on GGG resume. A fight between the two have been thrown around within the last past few weeks, but GGG and his team are not entertaining the idea. I think even at this age B hop is to crafty for GGG, and would possibly pull an upset. I think his team think so to, which is why they prefer to move on.

    He would also be the best on Jacks resume, Stevensons, Sturm since his loss to ODLH in 2004, and arguably Degales.

    If Hopkins fights again it should be against a light hitting guy. Someone that he can look good against and ride off into the sunset.

    I'm not a big GGG fan, but after a lot of consideration I think GGG wins it. I think he will just go staightforward brutal style and he will beat the old man. I would love it if bhops schools him but I think GGG will go essence on him and I think he wins it. I have a feeling it will not be a sloppy slippery thing but just getting down to business. Bhop may have a moment or two but I think it will have little psych effect and it will just be pounding.

    Hopkins is smart enough that he wouldn't take a fight against GGG unless he saw something. Especially at this point in his career.

    The need to be talked about in the sport. Its common with many retired top boxers.

    Hopkins is just one of those fighters where the term "retired" doesn't apply or even exist in reality! :D

    Hopkins needs to earn a fight with GGG, fight Geale or someone like that, maybe Soliman.
