Comments Thread For: Hopkins: Cong**** Kovalev, You Took The Easy/Safe Road

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

NEW YORK — Bernard Hopkins remains convinced Sergey Kovalev won’t fight him, even after Kovalev annihilated Nathan Cleverly to win the WBO light heavyweight title.

A unification fight between the 48-year-old Hopkins (53-6-2, 32 KOs, 2 NC) and the undefeated Kovalev (22-0-1, 20 KOs) would generate plenty of interest. But Hopkins expects John David Jackson, who trains Kovalev and once trained Hopkins, to advise against the Russian knockout artist fighting Hopkins. [Click Here To Read More]

Paper champion?!?!? Bernard Hopkins is the ultimate paper champion of all time. He has NO room to talk about paper champions. Straight cherry picked 90% of his titles.

WTF Hopkins didn't seem like he really wanted to fight Kovalev and kept talking Murat's name...

bernard, you just got done fighting tavors flippin thundercloud...



love you, bernard. mean it. but you're clearly setting yourself up to avoid kovalev. you don't use this sort of rhetoric to build a fight. you use it to avoid a fight.



kovalev would stop hopkins if they fought. hopkins is approaching 50, and kovalev throws combinations and has fast feet.

The hell you're talking about? He was the underdog in most of his big fights, how is he a cherry picker?

It's clear that Kovalev's promoter wanted to get a HBO contract so they picked Cleverly instead of Hopkins because of the HBO/GB feud. Hopkins is the one who was avoided for business reasons.
