    There's only one option. Floyd Mayweather Jr.

    He would kick Bernard's ancient ass.

    Then all these stupid threads would be settled forever.

    B hop couldn't get to 154 and floyd wouldn't go higher. I don't even think he would go to 154 again

    After seeing how impotent Bernard was, I bet Floyd would fight him at 170!

    Besides, who cares about Bernard now he's shown that he has nothing left. Who would pay to see him fight anyone after that piss poor outing? The only appeal would to see if he can beat a much smaller but faaaaar more talented Mayweather.

    The myth of his invincible veneer is gone. Putting him in against Froch or Ward would prove nothing for those guys. If anything they come looking like thugs who beat up an old man.

    I'm surprised no one else thought about Andre Ward upon reading this. That's the only realistic option I see.

    floyd would run and bhop would try to pull him in meaning no punches being thrown

    First thing I thought was Ward. Or...who else has a trinket recently gained at middle ...someone he may have history with Hmm

    I'd honestly shoot my tv if that was made

    Damn lol, that's not a bad shout either man. A Hopkins Taylor rubber match at 168 I'm with you on shooting the TV, but that's a very very winnable fight for Hopkins and has the illusion of being significant, to some people.... maybe... Might make sense.

    Ward or Froch wouldn't gain any respect for fighting Hopkins, but I'm sure either would still take it if the payday was right, that is if Ward wants to fight anyone anymore... I can't see Hopkins fancying either of those though, he probably had/has a really good style to fight Froch in theory but I highly doubt he'd be able to throw enough and keep pace anymore.

    Anthony Direll or Chavez Jr, are about the only other names I can think of as being somewhat relevant and winnable for the Nard. I'd like to see Jr get the fight if only to see HOpkins go out on a high, and to read the shit thrown at Jr before and after on here

    i doubt it would be ward because bhop has said in the past that they are friends and will never fight each other. it could be chavez to get one last big money fight that is very winnable. i dont see bhop taking another fight that isnt a pretty sure win.

    I'm thinking Golovkin Floyd wouldn't fight Hopkins until he was about 65 and then I'd still doubt Mayweather would risk it

    I wouldn't mind seeing Hopkins-Froch

    I had a feeling he might do that. He said he felt like a middle against Kovalev but I just think age finally caught up to him. Dudes a freak though. He was in the gym a day after the fight.

    Carl has said he'd love to have a fight in Vegas before he hangs them up. Trouble is outside of the payday, beating this version of Hop does not do much for him. Means about as much as Joe beating Roy. All of the British fans saw what happened Saturday. Kovalev pitched a shut out. Its clear as day that Hop needs to quit. The last time anything even close to that happened to him was over 20 years ago against Jones. Carl might take some flack for beating up Hopkins at this point.
