    What are your views on Hopkins next move? retire or not?
    Obviously an ideal situation would be a rematch with Pascal, but since as he's still got to fight Dawson if I was Hopkins I wouldnt bother waiting around to see if Pascal can win again (which isnt very likely). I personally think he should fight Cloud for the IBF title, a fight which i can see him winning and if Pascal beats Dawson again thn he should unify then retire.

    He likes fighting white boys so he should fight Bute.

    Bute wouldn't take that fight, too dangerous, Bute would get exposed.

    BHOP vs Toney at HW would be cool by me. Both old and both have nothing to lose.

    hopkins is in a bit of a bad spot at the minute as there is a lack of "names" at lhw and i cant see him waiting for some of the super6 to move up.

    BHOP has no chance against HAYE. WAY TO MUCH POWER! BHOP would get raped in 4 rounds.

    Haye might not land his telegraphed punches though and after 4rounds Haye is gassed

    Retire

    He done it all, he showed last night he is a legend, and took risks that the likes of Calzaghe shitted away from.

    BHop is a legend, making a guy 18 years his junior, a champion, run away in his hometown.

    On the one hand I think he should get out and on the other he doesn't seem to take a big beating. He was down twice last night but the shots didn't daze him and weren't the flushest.
