Bernard Hopkins is comming out of retirement to fight Winky Wright.
I for one am not a fan of boxers comming out of retirement to tarnish there image, but Bernard Hopkins is my favourite boxer and is anyman can knock out Wright i believe it will be Hopkins.
Hopefully he can win this fight and retire gracefully.

Lennox Lewis would be an exception...
It aint about how hard you can hit, it's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward!

I don't like this match up for Bernard. Winky would've won a legitimate UD against Bernard if he had fought instead of Jermaine Taylor when Bernard was still middleweight champ, but seeing as this will be at 170lbs, we'll see. I hope the Executioner takes it. The only 2 fighters to retire gracefully are Rocky Marciano,(hopefully) Lennox Lewis, and Daniel Larusso. We all know Floyd isn't retiring.

I'd say Kostya Tszyu has also been a very graceful retiree after his final unification fight against Hatton. Not many multi world champs retire after just 2 losses.

I heard both that Lennox was preparing a comeback fight for a stupid purse worth 25M in August. Also that Tzyu is back in the gym preparing for another come back fight. As soon as i get some evidence ill post them here for you guys. On a different note i love Bernard Hopkins in no doubt one of the most dominated fighters of all times in his weight division and i hope he whoppps wrights ass. As for floyd he does what he is doing best talking **** as usual.

Hopkins isn't retired mate.
He retired but came back against Tarver at 175 and won that fight and is continuing on.
Fighting at catchweight of 170 lbs.
