    So B hop has said he is having one more fight and it's going to be against a good name. Who do you want to see B hop end his legendary career against?

    Adonis Stevenson! The old man has always shined against southpaws, and Stevenson is about as left handed as a fighter gets, and with a dodgy chin to boot. It wouldn't totally surprise me if Hopkins were to own that fight, should it happen, and it would be an incredible last hurrah.

    Ive been a Hopkins fan all along but especially since I met him & Bouie when I was with Quincy Taylor who was defending his WBC middleweight title against Keith Holmes on a Tyson undercard & got blatantly robbed by Richard Steele. Knowing Quincy was down about being robbed Bernard came to him & said. " Don't let it get to you you & me are the two best MW in the world we need to get it on" I forget who Bernard was fighting but he won easy. Had a long chat with Nard & Bouie both were great guys.
    Really I'd like to see Bernard retire now He's got nothing else really to prove to anyone he is a boa fide ATG We'll never see his like again. I know his pride wont want him to go out on the loss to Kovalev bt is pride worth risking his health Bernard is one of the very best

    Truthfully, I'm not that interested in Hopkins. That's a turn around for me because I used to have a healthy dislike for him. Now I'm just disinterested.

    Awesome story/experience with Hop/Bouie. I think Brother Naz is a great trainer, but I dint think he had the connection/impact on Hop that Bouie did. It killed me to see those two squabble over money.

    I was a HUGE Quincy Taylor fan. He had great skills and was a solid fighter. Think that knee injury made him old before his time...

    Hop is one of, if not my favorite fighters ever. He has scored numerous upsets and the only guy I see having a solid argument to be ranked ahead of him from his generation is Floyd. That being said, I think Hop should retire now. The Kov fight proved he was done at the elite level.

    I can't respect hopkins over the last decade.

    He hasn't come to fight and had bored crowds on his way to tactical and dirty wins.

    He hasn't had a stoppage on roughly 10 years and doesn't exactly dazzle with skills.

    He has tarnished his legacy a lot and will be remembered by me as "that old guy that wouldn't go away" instead of "legend middleweight".
    You say tomato,
    ‘n I say …… it correctly.

    B hop will always be a legend in my eyes and your comment hasn't made any sense. B hop has had some Stella and outstanding performances throughout his career. Holds the record for middleweight title defences and moved up to light heavyweight to become a two time champion at an age where most people would have been long retired. I love watching b hop fight, from a sheer technical perspective. He's an outstanding fighter, I will miss him greatly.

    Yes yes and yes. He fights at the highest level and gives us a thrill with the "can he do it again?"

    He's the fucking man and proved how tough he is against Kovalev.

    Let him school Adonis or at least try!

    To be honest , I used to think that he shouldn't get any favours because he's old. If he wants to be classed as a World Champion, he should fight the best.
    To his credit, he had the balls to do exactly that, taking on Kovalev when People like Stevenson don't really want to. Ok , so he lost, but at least he got in there.
    I understand this way of thinking about not liking people if they're not KO merchants, but I don't subscribe to it. However, not respecting their achievements is a completely different thing, and that I don't understand.
    the way I see it , is that if he is boring crowds with tactical and dirty wins, it is up to the opponents he faces to stop that happening, like Kovalev did. it's all well and good saying he should entertain, but that's Bollocks really.
    What winners do first and foremost is WIN! everything after that is a bonus.
    For his last fight, I personally would like to see him fight Froch. I reckon he beats Froch , as he has too much ringcraft, and furthermore I firmly believe Froch at best is a bit worried about that and at worst Knows it!
