Father time catches up with everyone, if he fights again it'll be ANOTHER year on his clock since Pavlik so hard to say. But if we're judging by his recent form, well like Wack said, no one looks good against him.

I like Kess, and as a JC fan it would serve my purpose for him to do well, but IMHO I think Hop would make him look bad. When it comes to beating great retreating fighters like Floyd and the Nard or even JC (though he rarely had many guys came forward to him) you need to close the distance better than with Kess' herky jerky footwork, and while Kess can counter well off the backfoot himself the Nard won't give him the opportunity.
