BHop should retire, there are no super fights out there for him.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

Re: Hopkins turned down a fight with Kessler
Heh, I can just picture a bad-ass like Hopkins pleading with his Mom, and her twisting his ear hard. She's probably tougher than he is...
Yes Mom. I know Mom. Yes Mom, I know I promised you I would retire four years ago. Aw c'mon, don't be like that... OK mom, I'll tell Mr King I've had enough.

Re: Hopkins turned down a fight with Kessler
Agreed. Hopkins should retire as I can see a younger fighter like Kessler really doing a number on him over 12. Hopkins looked good against a woefully limited Pavlik who was lightyears beyond normal fighting weight. Kessler is a far more rounded fighter and would outwork Hopkins handily.Originally Posted by Master
Hopkins is overrated anyways. First proper opponent in recent years who was comfortable at the weight was Calzaghe and Hopkins lost. He's been winning in recent years by being Mayweather-esque. Tarver was a decent win but outside of that I don't really rate his performances since Taylor.

lol me too. In fact when he fought Oscar I thought that Oscar had a great chance because surely Bernard was going to start showing his age sooner or later.Haha, I have been saying that for about 6 years now
