Comments Thread For: Hopkins vs. Kovalev Mandatory is Ordered By The IBF

[ramblingalp]

Hopkins will fight this guy the same way he fights all the big punchers jab-jab overhand right then hold or skate out of harms way he ain't gonna take any risks he'll just frustrate this young boy like he does the rest of them take them right out of they're game plan.

Young 'boy', really? One big difference between Kovalev and many other big punchers is his ability to work behind the jab and use good footwork to cut off the ring. No lunging forward with the head and flailing wild punches for this guy.

Young man vs old man...youth wins the prize.

[SN!PER]

KOvalev isn't just a great puncher, he comes with a good workrate, accuracy, and angles. Hopkins might be in too deep this time.

Wouldn't surprise me if Kovalev ends Flopkins career. That guy is the tr00f

I'm digging the Ibf making this his mando, but no way does Hopkins take this fight, he might get ko'ed.

Hopkins is the master unless you didn't know... They claimed the you youth thing before like I said maybe you didn't know or maybe you forgot just to remind you of a few Felix "Tito" Trinidad.
Kelly"ghost" pavlik.
Jean pascal and I'm sure there is more but I just woke up I'll think of more later Hopkins has been fighting since these guys were in pampers trust me man Hopkins will take him right off of his game.

Schaefer just stated that he wants a "unification bout" for B-Hop.
I don't think they would take Stevenson... Therefore, they would look for something in the UK (Froch or Cleverly)...

Yeah, it's surely Froch, Cleverly or Golovkin for Hopkins.

LOL.
B-Hop is going to get stopped

Why wouldn't he want Stevenson? That's the fight he'd want the most.

dudes been searching for that "BLUEPRINT" to beat Floyd Mayweather Jr.....its like a burried treasure....but the "BLUEPRINT" for some other notable future hall of famers has been found and revealed to the boxing public.....those of us who study styles and techniques knows this!!

NOW....the Bernard Hopkins "BLUEPRINT" was discovered by the great Roy Jones Jr.....since that lost, B.Hop hasn't shown the ability to cope with what Roy discovered in the early 90's.....now the young cats on here might be caught up in the hype and other **** that kids get caught up into.....I'll just state facts as I walk yall through this

B.Hop NEVER had poblems with a jabber or someone with exceptional footwork or devastating power....FACT!!!....a combo puncher has to plant to fire most of the times....you are not gonna plant your feet and get off against B.Hop...its a proven FACT...video don't lie, ppl do!!....B.Hop is vulnerable to SPEED and fighters who are EXTREMELY athletic....thats the oldman's poison....its NEVER been a secret.....if B.Hop is to lose another fight it will be to a fighter who brings those 2 things to the ring....anything else will get you schooled and sonned!!.....thats the realness!!
