    He schooled Pavlik and put up a good showing against Calzaghe, who will he go in with now, or does anyone think he will retire?

    i think hes gonna retire chad dawson is still a relative unknown and wouldnt bring the kind of money b-hops looking for. I think hes gonna retire as i dont see him scoring a third taylor fight

    I hope he fights chad dawson before he retires. A win against dawson would cement his ATG status even further.

    Tito-delahoya-tarver-pavlik-dawson?.. that's pretty big names
    i hope he fight dawson next, that is the only fight for him then he can retire.

    He should either fight Kessler for the SMW, or Adamek for the CW championship. Both would make sense from a historical perspective, Hopkins trying to get his 3rd division title, but from a money standpoint, neither fighter would do great.

    Hey, Hop, f*ck take money, take one of these!

    Can someone grab a crowbar take out Tarver, Tanya Harding style, so the Dawson/Tarver rematch doesn't happen? Then we can get Hopkins vs Dawson :thumbsup

    I was hoping that Calzaghe would give him a rematch but he retired instead, so the next best thing for Hopkins is to retire IMO...He's already a HOF and he's done enough for the sport of boxing.

    He should fight Kessler.

    As for who he will fight, who knows? I think he's too greedy to retire. Probably RJJ, for the money.

    Me neither. You are only as good as your last fight. If RJ looks good in March, this fight just might happen.

    For those of you saying Hopkins will retire, you don't know him too well now do you? :hat
