    Comments Thread For: Bernard Hopkins Says He is "50-50" on Fighting Again

    Sergey Kovalev of Russia dominated Bernard Hopkins from the opening bell, winning a unanimous decision early on Sunday to stake his claim as the world's best light heavyweight.

    Kovalev has three versions of the 175-pound belt after taking two from the 49-year-old Hopkins in the decisive victory.

    He is now 26-0-1 with 23 knockouts.

    Kovalev received winning scores of 120-107 from two judges and 120-106 from the third. The 31-year-old Russian won the IBF and WBA light heavyweight belts to go with his own WBO title.

    I wouldn't be surprised if he fought again.

    But he shouldn't. He's 50 years old.

    Unless some bum like Murat or Shumenov manages to snare a title again. That is the only level he can effectively operate at now.

      Mad respect to BHOP for taking on a monster in kovalev while guys like peter quillin or stevenson runaway from those challenges. He should retire, he has nothing to prove and is one of the greatest in the sport.

      I knew he was going to lose tonight and I was genuinely scared for him the whole fight. at 49 to be fighting a skilled puncher is the stuff of legends.

        I hope 1 of the best cherry pickers ever retires & kicks rocks. You had a nice career Bernard Whatever your nickname is Hopkins. Don't bother replying to me because you won't get a response.

          B Hop is one of the most likable amazing stories in boxing history.

          But its time. He should retire and run boxing.

          He is smarter than Oscar and has a vision for boxing.

          Would love if he becomes a big time broker.

            Stevenson fought GGG. Man every time someone loses y'all always find another way to bring another boxer down. Bhop last point blank period. This not about Quillin or Stevenson its about Bhop vs Kovalev

                Hopkins and cherry picking don't belong in the same sentence. Had to respond to your idiocy.
