Bad news for B-Hop fans....

[ßringer]

Stevenson is underwhelming as ****, one punch KO of Chad Dawson aside.

HBO is smart to block Hopkins from getting that fight. Because he'd win it easily and make their network look even worse.

Hopkins looks good against soft hearted guys who lose confidence after being down on the scoreboard. Stevenson would talk shot in his face and wouldn't shy down. Come fight time bhop would get knock the **** out into a retirement home

Yeah but the problem is that before every fight people on this forum send B-Hop to retirement beacuse "he's to old" and his opponent ............... is "young and hungry". And guess what? He's still here and he's winning

Chad Dawson didn't deserve those belts they stole from Hopkins to give to him. Stevenson beating Dawson wasn't nothing impressive in my opinion, he should fight the real LHW champion and that's Grandpa Hopkins. Also I'm tired of people saying SO and SO would get knocked out because SO and SO knocked out everyone else when in fact the person that suppose to get knocked out never been K.Oed their whole career.

You don't know *****. Dawson bested him in the rematch and Hopkins looked trash because he's always beating guys tailor made for him. Against guys with skill and heart he'd lose. Overrated as fuuck.

Bhop might not win, but he aint getting KO'd. If they fought next I'd favor Hopkins by UD Decision.

Grandpa Hopkins would've gotten sparked by Stevenson.

Don't be silly. I thought Internet/Message board Boxing fans were more astute than your average, Boxing Joe type of viewer and didn't buy into all the hype and hysteria.

Of course it would be interesting to see this fight precisely because of that; having B-Hop in a fight where not everyone is just saying, "This fight is gonna be boring but of course B-Hop will win".

You're way too intelligent to have actually thought that. I mean, c'mon man, you've been a member here for years. You've seen the ******ation firsthand.

[SN!PER]

Kovalev would massacre all of these guys.

Looks like HBO's gonna block B-Hop from a shot at Stevenson because of their problems with Golden Boy.... Apparently Stevenson's locked in for his next fight to be on HBO....

I guess that's good news for the rest of the Light-Heavyweights or even Super Middleweights who want a shot at Stevenson....

Fantastic!!!! No one wants to see someone throw a punch then hold. Throw a punch then hold. Or feel lime he is getting over powered and fake an injury!!!!!

I didn't know that someone appointed you to speak on behalf of everyone who watches Boxing.

that's bs....

cos.... pavlik was a tough guy who could ****.... he showed a **** load of heart against taylor when he was down...

b-hop takes your heart from you.....

you think cloud was 'soft-hearted'.... no....

dawson fought a decent fight against hopkins.... but never did all that much.... chad's size was the major factor in the fight, as long as b-hop stays away from guys with far superior reach, he'll out school these youngsters....

if they're tall and slow.... eg: carl froch.... he'll whoop those guys too...

it's the rare few.... like the dirrell's and dawson's that would pose the biggest threat to b-hop @ this point, cos those guys are tall and have a speed advantage... as long as bernard picks the right guys....

i back him all day, even at 50.....
