Maskaev is tough and Wlad is DANGEROUS so no I don't want B-Hop to unretire. as much as I dislike him I do respect him and the way he's going out right now is good
I think at this stage its about history and legacy for B-hop . Winning the WBC heavyweight title would do more for his legacy at this stage but I agree if hes after a challenge then look no further than Joe Calzaghe . The Welshman wouldnt stand off like Tarver did . Hed be swarming him all night with blistering combinations and then we'd see what Bernard has left when he isnt allowed to fight at his own pace .

As for the Maskaev fight , Roy Jones showd that size doesnt matter , its class that matters and Bernard has far more class than the Russian . So much infact I think it would be another shut out . It wouldnt be a great spectacle but it would be a fitting end to a great career for Nard to execute a pefect gameplan and become champ in his last fight
