Who do you want to see Hopkins end his career against?

Adonis Stevenson – My pick would be Adonis. I still think it’s a winnable fight despite the beating Kovalev handed the old man. Styles make fights and Hop would be a nightmare for Stevenson to look good against because Stevenson waits for mistakes and Hopkins makes few if any. It would be a high quality chess match & although Stevenson deserves to be a favourite the result is no formality & Id like Hopkins to be given that opportunity having faced all the other tip light heavys of the last decade. Superman isn’t invincible as we saw vs Fonfara & B-Hop is the master of breaking a fighter down mentally and making them question themselves. Love to see this fight

Carl Froch – Still intriguing but not as much. You could make a case for it being two legends in a farewell fight but as a spectacle I don’t think Carl would want to exit the sport

Andre Ward - Very unlikely to happen not only because neither guys wants it but because it wouldn’t sell.

Gennady Golovkin – Im sure Hopkins would love to ruin another hype train & wouldn’t be scared to take this challenge but 2 weights separate them and team Golovkin wouldn’t see much to gain in this fight. I think it would go the same way as the Kovalev fight & a legend like Hopkins doesn’t deserve to go out like that thrown to the wolves.

James Degale – Not sure how much it does for either guy so again its unlikely to happen but it would be the biggest name Degale is ever likely to get a win over. Given his quiet spells against Dirrel I could see Hopkins hypnotizing him and it going to a close call on the cards and I rate James but think it’s a bad style match up for him. Hed have to beat Hopkins th same way Joe did but he isn’t as busy as the Welshman.

Roy Jones decider – The 2nd fight was bad enough to sit through and nobody would want a 3rd so I cant see it happening but if both legends called it their last fight and its currently left a 1 all I think a decider would have some value.

James Toney – This fight should have happened and it still can albeit as shadows of what they once were. Almost 2 decades past it sell by date I think if people knew these two were going at it then it would bring in the viewers and still has some appeal but Hopkins wants to go out with a bang and this would be a whimper.
