    I hope he fight Tomaz Adamek. It's a winnable fight and he will enhance his legacy even further by winning The Ring and IBF belts at CW.

    Calzaghe II is the one he wants, and it's been the one i've wanted to see ever since the bell at the last one.

    If he doesn't get that, and he really doesn't want Dawson, time to pack it up, or fight Glen Johnson in Philly and then pack it up.

    following De LaHoya advises he will be calling out soon Juan Manuel Marquez..its gonna be PPV and its a fighter who went the distance in close fights against Pac-man....and it sure will sell huge on PPV!...imagine that.

    It's a bad matchup @ this stage of Hopkins career. Dawson is fast and moves well, Hopkins knows it would be a tough fight to win.

    I'd really like to see Hopkins/Kessler. Ain't a chance of it happening though. But a very interesting fight.

    He's fighting Pac at a catch weight of 165, it's official.

    He should fight Dawson at 175 or Kessler at 168 - beat the post-Calzaghe best fighter out there. Or go after the CW title and fight The Ring champ Adamek. No huge money fights out there, but if Hopkins wants to make his legacy shine even better, he should fight one of those three.

    I think all 3 are pretty damn interesting matchups if you ask me.
