    We've all heared speculation about Calzaghes next fight(s), but anyone have any ideas on who Hopkin's will fight next?

    i want to see him fight Chad Dawson

    Or maybe Chad Dawson gets stripped, Diaconu becomes champ by default, and Hopkins beats Diaconu for the WBC strap

    Then Hopkins can look to fight the winner of Tarver/Dawson or Glen Johnson



    but realistically he will probably retire.

    If he can land a fight with Jones, it might be worth hanging around for one last fight, but I doubt that will ever happen.

    He should retire from the sport.

    Hopkins' age is already showing, he better hang up his gloves before getting real embarassed next time. I don't know if others find him annoying watching him sticking his head in the background of DLH's interview with Merchant, as if saying, ".. Hey, I'm the one who KO'd this guy..".
    He should stop proving himself, he already done good to his fans.

    Agreed, but he can't hang his gloves up because he has arthritis and calcium deposits in his joints. Someone else will need to hang his gloves up for him :lol:
