    Bernard Hopkins vs. Sergey Kovalev: who wins?

    Bernard Hopkins has to fight Sergey Kovalev or lose his IBF Light Heavyweight title.

    Chris Mannix ‏@ChrisMannixSI
    Duva calls IBF ruling "a stunning development. This changes a lot."

    Chris Mannix ‏@ChrisMannixSI
    Main Events's Kathy Duva tells SI she has already sent an email to @GoldenBoyBoxing's Richard Schaefer to begin negotiations.

    Chris Mannix ‏@ChrisMannixSI
    IBF made it clear neither fighter may take another fight.

    Chris Mannix ‏@ChrisMannixSI
    IBF has ordered @THEREALBHOP to defend his title against Sergey Kovalev immediately. Negotiations must be complete by July 17, or purse bid

          Kovalev's power and effective pressure would be too much for B-Hop at this stage IMO. Kovalev by clear UD.

              Kovalev v Cleverly is "suppose" to be announced tomorrow.

                  That fight will never happen.

                  FW would never put Cleverly in with someone as dangerous as Kovalev.

                      i'm starting to think that kovalev is the guy who will stop hopkins. he throws with two hands, has footspeed, and he's enough of a technician to land.

                      hopkins is approaching 50.

                          I wonder who Kovalev will choose.....
                          Cleverly or Hopkins

                              Kovalev is too much for ANYONE to handle right now. The guy has great boxing skills along with devastating one punch KO power. Reminds me of a bigger Lucas Matthysse.

                                  I agree.

                                  But Clev's opponent is announced officially tomorrow at a press conference, and if you look at his Twitter he's retweeting a lot of posts about fighting Kovalev.

                                      Kovalev is toying with his opponents before he knocks them the **** out

                                      He reminds me of a prime Pacquiao
