    I am would love to see him in with Kessler. I think this could be a decent fight and both would creater problems for each other.

    god man I really think he should retire. He not only should but he deserves to retire. There is just no point for him to fight anymore....Legacy wise its absolutely done for him theres no point hes fought everyone he could in his life. But If I was him I'd fight Pavlik to beat the man that beat Taylor

    Pavlik at a catchweight of 170 or a rematch with Tarver. Both are winnable fights.

    Another good choice, but I think Kessler might be a bit better for his legacy. Dawson is tough but he might be able to pull a KO off if he gets aggressive when Chad gets hurt.

    Who wants to watch Hopkins clinch, headbutt and foul his way through another 12 rounds?

    Hopkins hater. The same way folks want to see Hatton clinch and hit on the break for many more years to come. And Calzaghe to rabbit punch in combination.

    Show the man some respect. Other than Roy he has been the best fighter around these weights of his era.

    He should hang it up. I actually said the same thing after the Tarver fight though and didn't really want to see him back but he put in two commendable performances since. Only fight I can see him coming back for is if somehow RJJ miracolously beats JC, then Jones II. A Pavlik fight? Well that be pretty awesome if he could beat Pavlik.

    I think he beats Kessler, Tarver, Johnson is 50/50 Loses to Dawson if he does not capitolize on him being hurt. Probally loses to Taylor again by getting out worked. Pavlik is iffy. He could hurt Pavlik and maybe put him down but I don't know if he can match pavilks workrate anymore for a decision I would favor Kelly.

    he needs to retire. His punching is gone which is needed against young fighters like pavlik. I don't think kessler is a good match.

    He should go up to heavyweight and beat Sam Peter for a heavyweight belt, then retire.
