Kovalev was the most comprehensive one sided defeat he has taken and it took 65 fights for it to happen against one of the toughest mo fos in the sport today. Hopkins has zero to prove and like him or not is one of the most evolved and adapted boxers over the years. He squeezed every ounce of ability and skill out of mind and body to repeat success over and over. Hopkins. Legend. Fact!

He can do whatever he wants to do, but as a fan I'd like to see him hang the gloves on the ring post, find a couple of top prospects to sponge his mind and await his trip to Canastota.
