I think The Alien hands this Russian a boxing lesson!
Easy fight for Hopkins.
Y'all must've forgot! The Alien has built a legacy around dismantling scary punchers.
What are you talking about?? Hopkins almost knocked Murat out!!!
No he didn't. There wasn't one time in that fight that Murat looked anything worse than very tired.
Name a round in which Murat was on the verge of being knocked out. Murat actually did surprisingly well in that fight, better than he did against Cleverly.
Props to Hopkins for daring to be great,but I do think Kovalev is a little overrated.
He has a leaky defense, i.e. doesn't change head slots, and hasn't shown the ability to box well under severe adversity.
But Hopkins is old enough for this fight to be very interesting.
Most people on here don't have a bias towards race. It's a small handful of posters who are a cancer to this forum
Namely and mainly fl0mos and klittards
Seeing as I am one of the guys who doesn't have a bias towards race or styles, I will say that Hopkins will drop kovalev in a fight of the year candidate . :)

I don't vote against Bernard Hopkins! It's disrespectful after all he did in the sport.
But I wait for milkroot to accept the bet with me -- I said that B-Hop will never fight Kovalev...

Hopkins reminds us once again that there is good fighters, great fighters, and legends.
Sure did.
I'm certain Hopkins would outbox Kovalev. Hopkins has seen every style. Even if a punch lands on him he's got a chin.
Hopkins was getting touched up pretty good by Murat, if that was Kov, he woulda been done for.
I love Bhop though, would love to see him pull out another legendary underdog domination.
What are you talking about?? Hopkins almost knocked Murat out!!!
When has Hopkins ever been thoroughly beaten?
He know how to survive if worse comes to worse. He'll pull out a special tool from the toolbelt if Kovalev tries to come forward and let his hands go.
When have you ever seen Hopkins get hit with a combination? C'mon, dog.
The Alien went twelve with a prime Roy Jones and he wasn't even lumped up after. What the f*ck has Kovalev done?
All you guys are gobbling up that HBO hype.
You didn't catch Kovalevs breakout I take it? HBO only picked him up 6 months and 2 fights ago...he only signed with Main Events 4 fights ago and FNF 6 fights ago- Kovalev made his own damn hype by knocking everyone in front of him out. Prior to the Lonnie B fight he was fighting just to pay for food, lodging and training.
Even I've some sympathy with those who say GGGs been promoted beyond his achievements, but the same can't be said for Kovalev - guy came up the old fashioned way. Regardless - you probably ain't interested, but you can watch his last 6 fights in full in under 40 mins and judge for yourself.
Hopkins showed his age i his last fight. I feel he is done at or near the top. He's good at avoiding being knocked out plus has a great chin, so Lev by decision.
Hopkins on paper looks to be a favorite over kovolev, but at his age i just dont know
Hopkins either outboxes sergi, runs from him all night and loses a decision, or gets stopped
I accept. Don't try to push me up against a corner. I'm a man; I have balls. When someone runs up on me I knuckle up and dent chins.
Green K sent!
