No one ever made Hopkins look so decrepit and useless as Kovalev made him look. Age or not, Hopkins was still able to beat damn near everyone at LHW. Everyone else in that poll looked bad beating Hopkins, even Dawson despite winning comfortably.

impressive dominant performance
Kovalev dominating an old old man was not impressive.Comment

Yep, he is the only fighter with a clear win over a close to prime Hopkins.Originally posted by -Weltschmerz- View PostComment

Kovalev fought a full twelve rounds with Bernard Hopkins (at the age of 50, when it was more than clear that he no longer had the physical ability to fight in more than 1 and 2 punch spots, capping his activity at about 300 punches a fight), and had to even back off in the 12th, after getting clipped a few times late.
Chad Dawson was the first fighter to truly outclass Bernard Hopkins since his fight against Roy Jones Jr (Hopkins was 45, and Joe Calzaghe did edge him, but the Dawson fight wasn't even that close)
Not sure what the point of this was.Comment

What fight were you watching? This is how I know you're a ******. Kovalev beat the hell out of him in the 12th. Clipped him late? Haha Such a racist bitter *****.Originally posted by Scipio2009 View PostComment

Hopkins through less than 200 total punches, and Kovalev fought the entire fight as if Hopkins was going to put him out with one shot.Originally posted by El-blanco View Post
You obviously didn't see the fight, so I'm not going to waste my time.Comment
