                Also is underdog vs kovalev, opened as 2 and half to 1 underdog vs kovalev but more people are picking Hopkins for this fight.

                    Well Trinidad was a Welterweight in his third division and Pavlik was a Middleweight fighting at LHW.

                    Kovalev is a legitimate LHW.

                    Not saying he'll win just stating why those comparisons are different.

                        Yeah, that's a really good point now that you mention it. I'm looking forward to this fight because I believe it will be one of his greatest challenges. If he wins it'll cement his legacy. If he loses, then it helps pave the way for kovalev.

                            I've never seen Kovalev throw an uppercut and Hopkins ducks constantly to avoid punches.

                                    Kovarrated is going to get schooled badly.
