I really like B-Hop in this fight but we'll see after Saturday, I'm hoping Kovalev actually destroys in his upcoming fight because the hype will be big for their unification fight.
But you said those who don't look like me? Your racist ass thought I was black. Lol my ancestors as far back as my paternal grandmother have Spaniard blood. Not that I claim Spain, those racists f-cks, there's some European in my family, i'm generations removed though, by a couple gens. Not that I care about color, nationality, or race in boxing like you.
I hate hyped up, unproven fighters. I hated on Matthysse too, pre-Garcia. I like Kessler, I can tolerate Froch, Groves, I like Abraham, Wladimir. I hated on Pacquiao, Cotto, Margarito. I don't discriminate with my hatred.
You accused me of something you're guilty of, I understand, you are not the only like that here.

Because Kev has apparently decided to burn his "I won't hate on any fighter this year" vow with a nuclear bomb. He's gone insane since the Golovkin fight hating Golovkin and now Kovalev.
Kev is little hypocritical twat - he bashes GGG and Kovalev on a daily basis for being euro hype jobs etc but it was OK when he was dick riding Canelo before he became legit.
Fuck him
Father Time already caught up with Hopkins. We all know Hopkins would have beat Kovalev 4 years ago. It isn't 4 years ago, and we don't know for sure if he has enough left.
You maybe right, but if Hoipkins have anything left, he'll handle Kovalev a schooling. This is the style Hopkins really beats easy, and I don't see Kovalev as been as good as advertise, he is a decent skilled big puncher!
If father time doesnt catch up to Hopkins, Kovalev gets taken to school. Kovale is similar to Pavlik!
I think Kovalev is more skilled and hits a hell of a lot harder than did Pavlik - but more importantly for his fight with Hopkins he is much tougher mentally than Pavlik. He won't fall apart.
On the flip side: Pavlik had fought better competition than has Kovalev (mainly Jermain Taylor) and had gone the distance.
All in all I think that Kovalev is much more dangerous than Pavlik and Hopkins will be 6 years older when they fight. 6 years!!!
On the flip side again the match-up is great for Hopkins as he is a defensive wizard with a great counter. For his sake I hope he doesn't take too much punishment.
After all that I have to give my opinion. I think that Kovalev should take this fight. Not that he is a better All-Time skilled fighter than Hopkins but because his combination of speed, skill, ferocity, mental toughness - combined with Hopkins age makes this a very dangerous fight for Hopkins.
I'll be a beer on Kovalev but no more. We might witness greatness this November if Hopkins manages to slip and counter Kovalev for 12 rounds.

Father time is no longer a valid excuse for Hopkins. Kovalev is a better boxer than Pavlik/Trinidad.
