    It shouldn't have ended like this. Hopkins should've won and retired because he wanted to. Not getting knocked out and being forced to quit. Retiring after Kovalev would've made more sense. This was high risk for Hopkins, because he sort of did lose honour going out like this.

    What about it? He was still more than human to me while being in semi-retirement, he didn't become mere mortal until that split second at least in my eyes.

    Here we go with the excuses of Bhop being 51 but his AZE signed the contract to fight Joe Jr

    Nah, he was out. No cause for controversy. Please stay retired, Bernard.

    Hey... The guy is 51 and just a couple years prior to this he was trading shots and went the distance with a killer in Kovalev. Props to him! Bernard is a BAD dude. Went out on his shield.
