Whats next for Hopkins besides retirement?

[Master]

He moved straight up so he could fight Tarver, he also was old fashioned and the light heavyweight division was something Sugar Ray Robinson was never able to conquer so that motivated him to stay there. even at middleweight he avoided Joe for bigger money fights against Oscar and Tito which you could not blame him.

Hopkins was trying to create a legacy at middleweight at the time of Toney and Jones, so they were too early for him to move up.

Agree and can see the logic in all your points.
BBut I'd love to be able to ask him does he ever regret any of those decisions.

I think he made the most money with the fights he did and probably a better legacy.
