    "If the motivation is Bute, then it's something significant where I can prove again that I'm worthy of not only being the king of a division. As fars as tonight being a night where I say that it was great, it was fun, it was hard, it was hard, it was a struggle, I'm done? I'm going to have to look at the whole landscape. I will figure out what I want to do and what I want to do."
    Hopkins said he wants to leave the game with "dignity."
    "There's a lot of times I could have left. The Tarver fight. The Pascal fight. The Kelly Pavlik fight. The fight tonight. But to make a decision after the fact, I don't feel like I embarrassed myself," said Hopkins.
    "I don't feel like I really looked old tonight. You seen a 47-year-old fight his a-- off with a young, strong worthy champion. We'll see what it is. Right now, I feel good."

    You'll get a lot that will ignore this and continue to call him bitter.

    Yep nobody wants to read something like this when they're partaking in a circle jerk in other threads.

    Bernard deserves respect no doubt, he's one of the greatest and this was a nice ending to a pretty long saga.

    I think b-hop is a top 25 Atg. Chad did well, about as well as anyone could against B hop really. Hopefully Hopkins can end with a nice W against somebody like cloud or something.

    Nice to read this. Gotta be a weird feeling for Hopkins right now. He's lost 4 times since the first Jones fight 19 years ago, but he had a reason to believe he didn't lose a single one of them prior to last night. But for the first time in 19 years, he's clearly been second-best in a fight.

    Emotion based post fight pride nonsense I think, didn't help with Naazim Richardson mentioning 'politics' inbetween rounds but it's good to see he's accepted it now.
