Comments Thread For: Bernard Hopkins: Adonis Stevenson is The Guy To Beat

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Age-defying fighter Bernard Hopkins, already the oldest boxer to win a major title, wants a chance to celebrate his 50th birthday next year as the undisputed world light-heavyweight champion.

Hopkins, who turned 49 on January 15, defended his International Boxing Federation title three months ago with a unanimous decision over German Karo Murat.

Next on the Hopkins' hit list is World Boxing Association champion Beibut Shumenov, a Kazakhstan fighter who is 14-1 with nine knockouts, in a unification bout taking place in March or April. [Click Here To Read More]

Which is why kovalev wants to fight him so bad

B-Hop still knows how to make money....

Hopkins sees someone who is beatable for him in Adonis. With Kovalev, who is so unpredictable, he shy's away from him.

[SN!PER]

Hopkins is one of the greatest who ever put on boxing gloves, but this is a step too far. 12 rounds of punches from Stevenson would take its toll, and no matter how good Hopkins is defensively, he's going to take some shots over 12 rounds.

Stevenson is a one handed fighter basically. All Hopkins has to do is neutralize that left hand and he will mug Adonis to a decision.

Hop will expose either Stevenson or Kovalev like he did it to Pavlik, Pascal, Cloud etc.
Intelligence will beat rude power.
Just provide him that phukin opportunity and finally fight each other HBO pusies.

Hopkins had a chance to fight Kovalev. His promoter and network rejected the fight. Blame them.
