If they don't have it in Cananda, not the MGM Grand....makes no sense at all. They have an exclusive deal with Barclays... they need to start utilizing it

Makes the most sense, it will be a sell out, huge crowd, probs PPV in Canada, everything going for it. Plus Bhop is happy for it to happen in Canada.

But let's not discount Fonfara just yet.

Fonfara has a good chance, but he can't back up all night. He needs to fight off the front foot or get KO'd... he's horrible on the back foot

if popkins had any stones he fight kovalev in red square at high noon bare knuckle for zero dollars

Make it Toranto

Bell Centre is clearly the first choice and Barclays Center second. Other than that I could only suggest the Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City. My bet goes to the Bell Centre, that'd be a huge fight in Montréal.

If B-Hop can avoid that thunderous left cross and wear this brute down into the deep waters it will be easy work for him.

Why would they make it in Toronto? Stevenson is from Quebec

That's not a smart fight for Hopkins. Fast, athletic boxers give him a hard time.(even in his prime) I'd prefer seeing him fighting Kovalev. He'd probably still loose but I think Kovalev has fewer abilities to adapt as compared to Stevenson. Hopkins sure doesn't duck anyone EVEN as an old man! Can't say the same about some other champions.

I know, I know, and if Adonis can land hard enough and often enough he'll take Fonfara out, which is, in all honesty the most likely result but there is a chance cos Fonfara is experienced at the highest level and knows how to survive. Not to mention he has a little pop of his own. The upset would be hilarious!

Even at nearly 50 Hopkins is still capable of fiddling his way past some one with the limited skills of a Stevenson but Stevensons whack makes it interesting.
It would be bad news to end up in a care home with B-Hop!

How is Stevenson Limited?

Its gotta be in Canada
