Poll Position: How the Fans Voted

You’ve gotta hand it Bernard Hopkins. He’s been telling everyone how great he is forever and few took him seriously when it counted. Ex has always had a way with words; the words that flow effortlessly from his mouth; the words he forced and forces others to eat. But now, after dismantling Antonio Tarver with such ease in A.C. Saturday night, the post-mortems have ceased, the naysayers are silent, those who thought they had the last laugh can’t help but notice who’s laughing now. B-Hop promised his late mother he’d retire at the age of 40, but Hopkins at 41 has just made history and his bleak options of a few months ago now look pretty rosy. Should Hopkins keep his promise and hang up the gloves? Should he take on Calzaghe, RJJ, etc., and reap the millions sitting on his doorstep? Or has Hopkins earned the right to do whatever, wherever, whenever he wants?
