So B hop has said he is having one more fight and it's going to be against a good name. Who do you want to see B hop end his legendary career against?

Hopkins targets career finale
Bernard Hopkins plans to fight one more 'big name' before retiring | Boxing News | Sky Sports
Wladimir
David Lemieux = Future MW Champ and P4P King
Adonis Stevenson! The old man has always shined against southpaws, and Stevenson is about as left handed as a fighter gets, and with a dodgy chin to boot. It wouldn't totally surprise me if Hopkins were to own that fight, should it happen, and it would be an incredible last hurrah.
Ive been a Hopkins fan all along but especially since I met him & Bouie when I was with Quincy Taylor who was defending his WBC middleweight title against Keith Holmes on a Tyson undercard & got blatantly robbed by Richard Steele. Knowing Quincy was down about being robbed Bernard came to him & said. " Don't let it get to you you & me are the two best MW in the world we need to get it on" I forget who Bernard was fighting but he won easy. Had a long chat with Nard & Bouie both were great guys.
Really I'd like to see Bernard retire now He's got nothing else really to prove to anyone he is a boa fide ATG We'll never see his like again. I know his pride wont want him to go out on the loss to Kovalev bt is pride worth risking his health Bernard is one of the very best
Awesome story/experience with Hop/Bouie. I think Brother Naz is a great trainer, but I dint think he had the connection/impact on Hop that Bouie did. It killed me to see those two squabble over money.
I was a HUGE Quincy Taylor fan. He had great skills and was a solid fighter. Think that knee injury made him old before his time...
Hop is one of, if not my favorite fighters ever. He has scored numerous upsets and the only guy I see having a solid argument to be ranked ahead of him from his generation is Floyd. That being said, I think Hop should retire now. The Kov fight proved he was done at the elite level.
Truthfully, I'm not that interested in Hopkins. That's a turn around for me because I used to have a healthy dislike for him. Now I'm just disinterested.
