    BHOP wants Haye. I think thats a joke for him to even think that. BHOP wants a mega pay day. It was a rubbish fight with Jones.

    BHop has been hit too much if he thinks that will go well for him

    man should go out on a high note (and take RJJs last few years as an example of what NOT to do)

    As long as people are paying to see these guys fight, they will continue to do so.

    It would be nice, though. Sick of all these grandpas fighting and talking about winning a major title as if they were 30 again.

    Too many of them got inspired by Foremans luck against Moorer.

    Ruiz has never in his entire career been beaten up. He retired briefly some years back and frankly has had a stellar career. His never been everyones cup of tea but the mans drive and desire has to be commended. He went out on his shield. Ruiz ironically probably does have more to offer the heavy division apart from the top heavies which is still woefully thin.

    As for Jones the fat lady isnt singing she's screaming. Jones has no business in any ring. The same pretty much goes for Hopkins. Fight Dawson or retire. No ones interested in Haye vs his ego.

    RJJ and Ruiz definitely should but I really don't think B-Hop should if he can continue to make weight comfortably. Yes, his performance against RJJ was a stinker but he's never been exciting, he just keeps winning...:think

    That would be quite a spectacle. Not sure how likely it is, but I'd pay to watch it...

    Hopkins, Jones, Ruiz all need to retire, same with James Toney. Boxing needs to move forward but I believe these guys, especially Bernard Hopkins, are not allowing that to happen.

    Yeah it's all good seeing ATG's in action but not when they are near or past the age of fourty.

    When you think of it - Manny Pacquiao & Floyd Mayweather will both be retired in the next couple of years, simply because they'll have enough earnings in life and don't want to ruin their precious records by fighting past their primes, Jones should have done this, same with Bernard and Toney... idiots!

    He was in the mid 90's-early 2000's. Hopkins has gotten more reluctant to pressure fighters as he ages that's why his last ko was so long ago.
