I STILL think Hopkins could pull it off against Koralev.

[Porter's Dad]

Anyone who thinks a 50 year old Hopkins shouldn't duck Kovalev is a sadist.

[RiC-DiC]

At 49, I think the only thing B-Hop has over Kovalev is his chin... And the headbutt... Old man should avoid that mutha***a.

[TheMexHurricane]

He absolutely could. He could land, clinch, land, clinch, land, clinch.

I wouldn't count Hopkins out at all.

Exactly. You took the words right outa my mouth.

His chin isn't all that. He looked vulnerable VS Pascal in the first fight.

[kiaba360]

He absolutely could. He could land, clinch, land, clinch, land, clinch.

Yeah, I wouldn't either. However, it would be something special if Kovalev is the one to behead the executioner.

[Simurgh]

Who is KoRalev?

Nah, prime BHop very likely, but this version, very tough fight for him.

[Hougigo]

He absolutely could. He could land, clinch, land, clinch, land, clinch.

He has a good chance... .but Kovalev will win this IMO

Koralev looked like he was gassing .. Cleverly was a C Level fighter at best.. Hopkins even at 49 is still a master and could very well school Koralev for 9 of 12 rounds after shelling for the 1st 3..........
I will like to see this fight.

No...Hopkins was able to do it to Pavlik but Kovalev is a different animal.

Kovalev isn't a great mover but he can move and box. He throws accurate murderous punches. He's a monster.

Lets not pretend Cleverly isn't good. He just fought someone who is better

Nahh bro, the thing with Hodgkins is that dude is 48 year old. I mean don't get me wrong I love Bob but he's to damn old and rusty for a guy like Kovalev. But Brian is a living legend no doubt about that. And at the end of the day Bill Hopkins is still an ATG ANDhas nothing to prove against guy like Sergey
