    I think most can agree on that Hopkins vs (the corpse of) Jones jr. was a farce! But is there any real opponent left for Hopkins to fight? The only ones i can think of is either Dawson, Pascal, Bute or the winner of super-six! Or should he just retire for good?

    A fight with Dawson would be pretty good ..Unless the rumors are true about a Calzaghe rematch I don't see any other fight that should be made ..Most of the super middles should fight each other .

    calzaghe already said he aint coming back

    at his age bernard is limited to fighting like once every year

    so probably wont b winner of super 6 as he will prob b too old then but who knows

    ATG that Bernard is, I think its time to call it quits... he is starting to slowly show his age, but what a fighter... considering the structure of his career he deserves as many props as any guy out there.

    i'm a big Hopkins fan and hope that he has 1 more fight before retirement. A win aganst a young unbeaten star like bute or dawson for me would be the perfect farewell

    Yep I agree.. take out one of those guys, its a total call out to the naysayers and then call it a career..
    Thing is that boxing fans in general are total haters and the fact that people can slag a legend like Hopkins is a total testement to that fact.

    What about the possibility of him moving up to heavy? This won't happen now but, wasn't it only like a year ago that he thought about it? How would that work? I assume not good.

    How about retirement or... Retirement!
    B-hop is too old to beat Bute, and will get destroyed if he moves down a wait.
    Just hang up the gloves, the executioner will always be remembered

    Im a big Hopkins fan and I have to study his fights alot because I'm an aspiring boxer but I want him to retire. Why do people think he can beat my man Dawson? Chad is no one-dimensional fighter and Hops would get beaten.....badly. No way in hell he beats Dawson unless I'm proven wrong but Hops has achieved enough to be an ATG & HOF he doesn't need to fight anymore. Dawson is my man and is elite but he needs to prove himself to be a HOF'er, Hopkins doesn't. Love both fighters but this is how I feel. I love Bute too and see no way Hops beats him either....

    His old ass need to retire because that last fight was worst than the Pac vs Clottey fight and that was the worst fight i have ever seen. Retire Benard with your hatin ass.

    Bhop is one of the greatest MW's ever and if people can't respect that they're not true fans. That guy does do bad tactics & has had sleepers but his great fights more than make up for that. He is a true legend and deserves respect for what good he did do for this sport. One of the most disciplined fighters ever...

    He should either fight Dawson or retire. Like someone has already said...he should have retired after Pavlik.
