Remember when Ismayl Sillakh was touted as the next big thing?

Cupo you do know after Adonis he will be after Hopkin's right?

Hopkin's himself was not keen on Kovalev and opted for Murat. I remember it clearly and that's what made me think, who is this Kovalev.

Of course I know that.

After seeing what Ismayl did for an entire round, i feel confident that Hopkins will not get knocked out despite the fanboy's getting a raging hard-on over the thought of it happening. And besides landing the KO punch and finishing a hurt opponent, does this guy have the tools to win rounds? I will have to youtube him to see what his skills are like.

Kovalev is a very, very good fighter.

Him and David Lemieux, James Kirkland and Danny Jacobs all was getting hyped as the next big things all around the same time, they all have fallen ironically

There's nothing ironic about that. Perhaps coincidental, maybe. Kirkland is still around; Jacobs lost a tough fight and is getting healthy again. Lemieux and Sillakh failed the test that nearly all prospects who don't become champions fail -- they've got defective chins. It's that thing we ask about all prospects. Nothing unusual about them.

You saw ONE round...

Kovalev is pretty strong and IMO if Hopkin's fights like VS Murat he will get stopped. Pascal could drop him and Kovalev can.

Skillakh, Lemieux and Jacobs all got knocked off the cliff. Kirkland willingly jumped off the cliff. Kirkland's toughest fight was against himself and he got KTFO.
