I hope he retires really. I can see him getting shown up horribly against someone like Adamek or Dawson.


Anyone can blow a guy out with fast hand speed, power etc

But a guy who is 44 has been boxing with the big boys for over 17 years now and is still yet to be floored.

Even youve got admit miles thats pretty fucking incredible??
Hopkins was floored twice by Mercado. He's also a defensive first fighter, especially later in his career, so hardly surprising he hasn't been down much.
