    we were all jumping off the couch for bhop. he battered my boy senseless but i was very happy to see him win this. he said he's staying around until he's 50...well...if all 4 top lhw guys were on the card tonight...he's beating them all for the foreseeable future. what a fighter.

    he's beating all top 175lbers out there. wouldnt surprise me to see froch want a piece of him seeing how he is talking about a jump up in weight.

    Haha oh man, if Froch moved to 175 for a Bhop fight, Hopkins would absolutely dominate him.

    I like how nowadays any time anyone does anything great, they must be on PEDs.

    Show Hopkins some ****in respect people.

    Im not calling Hopkins the greatest fighter ever or anything (maybe in comparison to others his age that still fought), simply glad he was able to achieve the feat he did.

    Hopkins has been great for boxing, I would have no argument if he decides to hang them up on a high like this

    I agree.

    It was not only a great performance, but an exciting one which made it that much sweeter.

    Me either.

    That would just add to his legacy imo.

    But hey if does continue on, especially winning, and doesn't go out the way Jones will, man what a legacy.
