Ward wouldn't be able to keep him off him. You have to fcuk him up thoroughly. That man WILL NOT stop still moving forward until he's done...,

Kovalev is a serious fighter, i dont think Hopkins can beat a guy like that now. The russian is by far a better fighter than Cloud or Pascal. How he destroyed Clevery was verry impressive, Clevery is not a bad fighter. Hopkins will not fight Kovalev anyway because hes not ******. Hopkins knows boxing and thats why he wont fight Kovalev. Hopkins has not really studied Kovalev jet because hes not flat footed at all. No comparison to Cloud or Pavlik!
If I were Kovalev I'd skip a fight with Hopkins, he'd have everything to lose and if he wins many will attribute it to the fact that Hopkins is damn near 50 years old. Aside from a decent payday there really is no upside for Kovalev if he faces Hopkins.
Tough fight for Hopkins, I wouldnt back him here. Kovalev is not only very heavy handed, but he also puts his punches together very well and has very good mobilty.
