Comments Thread For: Stevenson: Hopkins Said He'll Fight Me After Mandatory

Cloud was supposed to brutally KO him according to some people lol

There's no comparison between Cloud-ADonis/Kovalev, Cloud is a flat-footed plodder. But B-Hop's ability to defy the odds is undeniable.

GBP recently signed Shumenov. There will be a Hopkins/Shumenov unification next year I assume.

HBO clearly wants Stevenson/Kovalev and that will obviously happen as well. Maybe the winners can meet up and we can get an undisputed LHW champion.

The problem with that is either HBO or ShowTime will lose all of the belts to the other network.

I really think Hopkins - as great as he is - would not be able anymore to survive 12 rounds against beasts like Stevenson or Kovalev. Hopkins has never fought hard punchers like that in his long career and these guys are physically verry strong too. The last hard puncher Hopkins faced was Antonio Tarver but that guy was already past his prime and weight drained. So i really believe Stevenson and Kovalev are to much for the almost 50 year old legend. I mean these guys are not only big punchers, they are also pretty fast and have ability. Cloud was only a B-Level puncher without ability and Dawson had not much problems with Hopkins. You know what Stevenson did to Dawson right? i know Styles make Fights, but still....

he fought calzaghe

Pretty much this is the most likely scenario. next year I think we'll get:

Stevenson-Kovalev
Hopins-Shumenov

Jean Pascal is an explosive hard puncher and he's also physically very strong.

Please make this fight happen

[J The UnBiased]

this is a good fight...like....a really really really good fight. I don't know how it'll happen with the networks, but I'm extremely looking forward to this one, Stevenson's been really impressing me lately with his performances and Hopkins is an ATG, make it happen.

Stevensons movement in the Cloud fight was brilliant. I chose Cloud to beat Adonis to. I didnt know Adonis had layers of skill like that. Im picking Stevenson to beat B-Hop.
