"I said, 'listen, I'm Bernard Hopkins, bitch!'"

I agree yet it bothers me NONE.

But back to the topic....

Zona syfilisem cie obdazyla, ty palancie!

What is the topic here? Hopkins never turned down Kovalev, that's a fact. He probably shouldn't be fighting anyone though, he turns 49 in four months.

[Enzo Mc is SHIT]

Bhop would have a point if Kovalev was one dimensional say like Pavlik. But since he is is far from one dimensional he would a real threat to Hopkins at any point in his career.

Yep. Kovalev is a proper boxer as well as a brutal puncher and at this point I think he'd hand Hopkins his first KO defeat.

no way is Pascal more Athletic than Kovalev....

Yes way, you do know what athletic means? Kovalev is a better boxer by far, fundamental wise, but Pascal has and is getting by on pure athletic ability, more than solid fundamentals. Just look @ the films/fights on both guys. Pascal is raw, and super explosive, whereas Kovalev is neither, but pure fundamentals. That's not a knock on kovalev.

Dwyer also thinks Hopkins was just posturing to the press and wants nothing to do with fighting Kovalev.

B-pops needs to chill out,if he really wants his ass beat he can get it too.He just wants to cash out kovalev will happily do that if the money is right.Hes not risking getting robbed in u.s. for free if he doesn't stop him,gift dec's it goes without saying.

Thank you for the English lesson there DigitalBest. Comedy doesn't necessarily translate well into text unfortunately. No doubt Lebedev would destroy me, he outweighs me at least by over 50 pounds I'm sure. I think I can get on some PEDs though and at the very least land 5% of my power shots before being KO'd.

Hey, it was free!

They should work, obviously, but don't really get the PED thing...can't you fight with a healthy body and adrenaline just as well?

Wow... If he wanted to cash out, I think he'd dog Froch. Kovalev brings in the money? Why try to make Bernard out to be a fool?

[SN!PER]

Hopkins was quoted later as saying, "I'd never let a Russian boy beat me."

[lazy]

Hopkins is trying hard to get Kovalev into the ring. By the time he does BHop will be close to 60.
