    Hopkins' schooling adds another round of really interesting fights to the mix; so which one do you want to see?

    Hopkins vs RJJ-Calzaghe winner (or even the loser for that matter) looks great if he can get it since either would give him the chance to avenge a rare loss.

    or

    Hopkins vs Dawson?

    These are the only fights left I think Hopkins would want, with the odds overwhelmingly pointing towards a Roy or Calzaghe rematch. I'm certain he won't retire after a performance like he had tonight. Who would you like to see him go after next?

    Yeah, this seems like one of the few fights left. That or the winner of Jones-Calzaghe. Time will tell.

    Cant see Calzaghe taking Hopkins on again, would be dangerous for him

    Dawson all the way. I think Dawson will win and retire the aging legend.

    I see no reason why not if the money is big which it will be.

    Dawson. I never gave it any thought til now but Dawson provides an interesting challenge to the man. That would be another great fight for Hopkins especially now because we would all give him a chance. I think its been proven time and time again that Hopkins is never to be written off. Dawson just be Tarver, and this would be a fight to raise both names. Dawson, the young, very skilled southpaw against Hopkins who needs no introduction. I think Dawsn would be the most interesting fight but if anything, it will probably be Hopkins vs the winnber of calzaghe and jones. im drunk right now, completely celebrating this victory so whatever i say is that of a drunk man but i still bellieve it would be the most intersting fight out there.

    I do not know about that, scored for Hopkins by a bout a point the first time. The right hand lead landed consistently, Clazaghe was more busy though.
