Comments Thread For: Hopkins-Kovalev Unification Rumblings, 'The Alien' Speaks

[Snake4380]

I haven't heard anything from HBO about this and I haven't read this anywhere else...I'm assuming this is just a rumor started by a "source"

Btw...Bernard is an Alien because he sure disappeared in his spaceship when Pascal demanded that he agree to random-blood testing...

I'm sorry to say this but if Bernard were Filipino, he'd be accused of taking PEDs on refusing to take the tests against Pascal and his accomplishments so late in his career... and the "Online nerds" would be saying he's a juicer. But of course he gets a pass because he's Black..and well Black fighters are just better at boxing so we should expect Hopkins to be doing this naturally..although Peterson, Berto, and Mosley have been caught juicing... and I can't remember one Filipino testing positive...

First off, I want to shoutout all of those who claimed Hopkins ducked Krusher, and denied that Kovalev HIMSELF decided to face Cleverly instead of pursuing a Hopkins fight, now that thats out of the way... for the clueless, the reason the lawsuit has nothing to do with Hopkins, and a Kovalev fight would be easier to make is because Hopkins is NOT under contract with Golden Boy as a FIGHTER, hes a partner, and hes NOT an Al Haymon fighter, two things that would have made HBO reluctant to work with Hopkins, hes in the clear now that GB is in this shake up, he only identified himself with the cold war because he was backing Richard, Richard is gone.

Whoa, unexpected. Though I do feel B-Hop should retire, its another winnable fight for him I think. At this point, his physical is his only biggest threat. Mentally he's unmatched.

If I'm Kovalev, I want to know why Hopkins refused to do random-blood testing with Pascal...

And then I'd demand VADA or WADA blood testing...no USADA... I would never fight a GBP or Al Haymon fighter with USADA testing for obvious conflict of interest reasons...but that's just me...

Id love to see Stevenson's face after reading that he may be the odd man out.

except we know kovalev fought cleverly because showtime didn't approve the hopkins-kovalev fight so you are being disingenuous. he decided to fight cleverly because that was the only person who would fight him. nice semantics though. who runs showtime? oh golden boy, who runs golden boy? oh hopkins. weird that they didn't approve kovalev but did approve murat.

as a die hard BHop fan....I'm not the least bit surprised by this...it was always one or the other...Adonis has lineal claim so it's normal he would be targeted by both BHop and Frankenstein....the pimp caught up in some hoe gaming so the next best fight for the division would be this one.....some dudes are gonna be in denial until that cognitive dissonance clear up lol
