    Hops is getting up there at 43. He isnt going to have but maybe 2-3 fights at the most after this.

    Win or Loose, who else out there would you like him to fight?


    Discus.

    should retire.Nothing to prove! another fight could be costly in his career and health..

    it's better to have your last fight winnig than streeeetching yourself too much and lose!

    I'd say retire. But if he had to do just one more fight, I'd say Roy Jones. Who knows, if he wins, maybe Trinidad will want to fight him instead of Jermain Taylor

    win or lose the man has nothing else to prove, IMO. He has fought and beaten some very good fighters.

    Id like to see him fight Dawson, to beat a young solid fighter, then retire with a win vs RJJ... then retire.

    :good That's the only fight for him left that makes sense.

    He has nothing to prove, his status of being ATG was again solidified last week.

    At the current odds, he should make out really well with his side bet on himself. His side bet alone should buy him a retirement home in Panama or somewhere warm.
    Time to hang em up and enjoy the promotion gig.

    I think he can make some serious coin replacing Merchant at HBO.

    If he wins...I wouldnt mind him going out vs Roy for 50 wins. If he doesnt fight Roy...I hope he retires.
