Hopkins aiming for Kovalev November 8th in Barclays?!

1. Eat my question marks JSDF 2. The business goal is for the fight to take place on Nov. 8 on HBO at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y., Hopkins said. The personal aim for Hopkins is to continue building on his legacy and making more history. “How many fighters have been undisputed world champions in a 15-year span?” said Hopkins, who will turn 50 on Jan. 15, 2015. “Until the judges say something or I’m lying on my back, I’ll never give up. I hear about the age thing and to me that doesn’t matter. This is not a done deal yet, but Kathy is talking to Golden Boy, and Oscar is interested in this fight, too. I’m still promoted by Golden Boy, they’re my promoter and we would like to see this fight happen.” more progress than a stevenson fight http://ring tv.craveonline.com/news/348251-bernard-hopkins-aims-for-november-showdown-with-sergey-kovalev#.U8bNyi85nuo.twitter

Malignaggi doesn't think Hopkins will take this fight. Seems to me like he's serious tho, time will tell.

Looks like it's TBA for Stevenson The way his last fight backfired I'm not surprised. TBA is always up for the challenge unlike Stevenson

I would have rather watch Kovalev fight Adonis before either fights Hopkins, but this well have to do for now. If it goes down I got Hopkins winning by ko Looks like it's TBA for Stevenson

How about a 50 year old guy wanting to fight the absolute 2 best guys in his division while the so called TBE won't fight the next best guy who has been there for 5 years lol..Hopkins will go down as the best of this generation if he ever beats both Kovalev and Stevenson. Floyd should be ashamed of himself when he sees a 50 year old fighting the best.

If this one happens, u all got to give big props to B-Hop. At his age he doesnt have to take that kind of fight. Bernard has a chance vs Kovalev and Stevenson. I pick him to beat Stevenson but Kovalev I didnt see him against top guys yet so I cant say. :boxing:

So he IS promoted by Golden Boy. Wheres DempseyTrollin? Saying that Hopkins wasnt promoted by Golden Boy. Guess he was wrong.... AGAIN. :lol1: here's what that flowmo lawyer said in another thread:lol1: so what if hopkins has no promotional contract with gbp? he owns shares of the company and in fact he always shows up during promotional activities of gbp...i think it's safe to say his fights will always be promoted by gbp. He clearly says otherwise. Hopkins was a Schaefer supporter. He clearly doesn't have faith in Oscars leadership. The article speaks for itself.

Any combinations of Kovalev, Stevenson and Hopkins is fine with me. They are clearly the top 3 in the division. So this is great news.

This is more proof that Adonis Stevenson is the dumbest man in boxing! He could have fought and beaten Kovalev this year and fought Hopkins in the spring of 2015 in two big money fights. Instead, he settled for a 40 percent increase over HBO's offer to fight a nobody on Showtime earlier this year followed by no fight for who knows how long while he spends a large part of the 40 percent increase he earned for fighting a nobody on legal fees. Fonfara almost finished Adonis and you ask him to take a Kovalev fight? People still truly think that the Russian killer is a hype -- good for them.
