I think the best fight for Bhop issss.....

[Boxer4life]

A rematch with Calzaghe...atleast i would like to see it, i understand why the judges gve it to joe, but we know hopkins won

[mattboxingfan]

A such an intellectual post. Yes we do know why Joe got the win because the judges scored it in favor of him due to his succession in the fight. Cannot believe Hopkins hugging did not win him that fight!

im not arguing with the decision, if i was a judge i would give it to joe, but form a fighters stand point, hopkins won, he landed the better shots, those little flurries joe does don't mean shit to me

Hopkins should take a long look in the mirror and maybe consider retirement. What a way to go out on.
Kind of a fairy tale ending. He has nothing more to prove.

I agree. It would be great for him to go out on top like this. Sadly that's unlikely to happen.

I for one wouldn't want to see Hopkins-Calzaghe II. Joe's been out the ring for 3 years, let's just leave him in retirement eh?

I think you are right on both counts. He may fight again and Joe needs to stay retired.

Yup. I mean he's been hit more cleanly in his last two fights than he'd been in the last ten years.

Do some Geritol commercials and call it a gloriouis career.

Imagine how that would look to boxing fans in 100years. We know how good it is now but in years to come people will still be talking about the 46 year old grandad who the was terrorising the youngsters of his time.

B Hop should fight Bute, Green and then Martinez.

[El Kabong]

He's got 3 options: Bute at a catchweight, Dawson, or Cloud....or the one interesting fight we won't see Glenn Johnson II.

[Kev]

Bute is the one I want to see.

Then he can follow that with a move up to heavyweight and fight either Adamek or David Haye.

I think Hopkins loses to all those guys. I would still enjoy seeing Cloud vs Pascal though, that would be a good scrap.

[Spicoli]

I favor him big over last nights Dawson. Don't see a Pascal 3 thank God. Bute would be great, North of the border visibility solid for Hopkins. Arena was at record sales. Really weary of Butes body work on Hopkins. Can see his speed and angles being big problem but lean Hopkins. Hope he doesn't get crazy and think Cruiser or higher. Right now whats the point.

[Boxer4life]

At this stage i think hopkins should avoid punchers

Yeah I do too. What I saw of Dawson last night was whenever he sat down on his punches? Then he just stood there. He is so deliberate I think BHP leads him around by the nose for twelve rounds.
