    Yes he can duck, just like he tried to duck Dawson and fought him when he had no choice but to fight him. Marquez did the same thing ducking Provodnikov by fighting Alvarado instead and so will Cotto when he chooses to duck GGG.

    If you're going to say you are world class then prove it against the guys that matter. Otherwise say you are too old to compete with the best of the division.The last time Hopkins fought the best of his division was against Dawson and he lost and before that it was Calzaghe and he lost as well. I don't think he can beat Stevenson or Kovalev either.

    edit- Forgot to mention Pascal... I do give him credit for that.

      For me Hopkins is already an ATG and I am pretty sure he will beat Stevenson.

        Not sure if Aliens are allowed on these ATG lists.

          Wins over Kovalev or Stevenson wouldn't be that big for him. He's already been the RING LHW champ before, and he is alerady rated very highly on the list. like top 40

              He's clearly on roids though. Fighting at 50, come on.

                Good chance of that a very, very good chance of it...

                Look at Armstrong!
                "ooh so amazing, it proves anyone with the will power and determination can do it..."

                We all know how that turned out in the long run but the difference with boxing and bicycle racing is, yes bicycle racing is by far less corrupt of a sport that wouldn't seek to defend legends of the sport honesty before lies.

                Either way I don't care much for the man and I'd definitely be rooting for Adonis to knock him out and finish this chapter once and for all.
