If you was Hopkins would you have retired after his last fight?

    Well, would you?

    I reckon he should of.

    Obviously he isn't going to tarnish his legacy with a few more losses, but after last weekends victory i don't think that he could of gone out on a bigger high.

    Thoughts?

    He says he won't retire until he's 50.

    I don't believe him.

    I think he'll go on even longer than this.

    Hopkins has plenty left for him.

    Horse out.

    This guy is one of my fav boxers of all time but maybe he should have one more big one and call it a day. There is no need for him to go on til 50.

    If i took some big shots in the fight then yes. Hopkins looked so fresh, i would like to see him have 1 or 2 more fights.

    'If you WERE Hopkins'

    'I reckon he should HAVE'

    For **** sake, saying someone 'should of' done something doesn't even make ****ing sense.

    He doesn't take much punishment, so why should he? He's getting paid handsomely each time.

    If he still enjoys it, and he clearly does, fair play to him.

    'Fraggle' what are ya' a 13 year old girl?!?!

    I think B-Hop should move up and finish U.S.S off myself. And then unify by schooling Huck :deal

    Well, it's a double edged sword for me. He seems to have alot left in the tank and can enhance his record still more, with a fight against Dawson in particular, a possibility.

    Then again, he could well lose that fight. It won't hurt him in terms of legacy, but it would be a storybook ending to go out on top. So I can see both arguments.
