The end of The Alien

[Batman]

Bernard Hopkins, 51, to face Joe Smith in 65th and final fight - BBC Sport

Bernard Hopkins aka The Executioner aka The Alien aka B-Hop has announced that he is going to retire after his next (65th) fight, one month before his 52nd birthday.

Regardless of weather you like his style or not, he has had a fantastic career.

I'm glad that he is calling it a day though, it's definitely the right time.

Obviously the guy he is fighting isn't a world class fighter, but I wonder how bhop will look? He is pretty dang old and has been inactive for a while. At that age, I would assume he would be very rusty.

Either way, bhop has had a great career and no matter the outcome, his success at such an advanced age is one of the most impressive feats in sports history IMO

The Kov fight was only November last year, 1 fight a year at that age is pretty acceptable I would say.

Agreed on the success at his age being amazing though

[Batman]

wait a minute we are in 2016 now aint we...fuuucking hell, I honestly lost a year then, I thought it was 2015

that would mean he has been inactive for 2 years, yeah that's a long time at his age.

fucking hell man, where does the time go, have I missed much in 2016?

I've never been a fan of Bernard Hopkins, but he's an all-time great and he's been very successful in the ring. I hope he continues his success outside the ring good luck and God speed.
