If he`s going to retire can he just make it official so we can all bask in what has been a truly spectacular career by an amazing technician.
Or can we just please shove in 1-2 more fights and have him own dawson and adamek PLEASE

I think he'd handle Adamek.
Dawson's speed could pose some issues though. If you look at him in the later stages of his career its speed that has given him problems.
I suspect he fights again.
I don't miss him. He's been a boring old bastard for nigh on half a decade now. I used to be a fan, but his style has begun to grate horribly. Admittedly, he looked decent against Pavlik, but Pavlik was 5kg's beyond what he should have been fighting at and seemed seriously under the weather. I don't think it was solely because Hopkins is that good.
I hope he retires really. I can see him getting shown up horribly against someone like Adamek or Dawson.

I wont miss the boring old sod.
Stay up til 4am to watch him ulgy a fight to death. Great stuff.
3-Time SADDO PREDICTION COMP CHAMPION.
His longevity is quite remarkable. No doubts about that. But his style is so ugly and it's becoming more like an old man looking to fight for 30 seconds and the rest of the time just trying to breathe his way through the round.
I have no inclination to see him fight on. And he is all about fighters going up in weight to face him. Winky, Calzaghe and Pavlik. Winky and Pavlik were horribly beyond their normal fighting weights. Calzaghe showed him for what he is now.
He had a great career throughout a fair part of his 30's. But I have lost interest.
The guy is arguably up there with the likes of hearns, hagler and duran as one of the greatest 160ers and had he of realised he could no longer make the weight properly before the taylor fights came along and moved up weights he would right now be mentioned in the same breath as those guys.
Sure he wasnt exactly an arturo gatti or MAB but boxings about much more than just out and out fighting and during the 90s hopkins proved time and time again a world class technician will always beat a brawler
