    I refuse to read any posts about Hopkins UNLESS they address why he refused to take blood-testing against Pascal and still doesn't use blood testing in his fights...

    He's the Roger Clemens of boxing!

        stevenson is the fight hopkins will take

        all those leaping left hooks hopkins threw against shumy are dangerous against a guy like kovalev who can counter punch well with the right hand

        and hopkins will definitely not fight the mandatory
        he wont put a 49 year old body through a training camp for such a fight and he wont have the motivation

        its gonna be stevenson.......
        Well that was quite obviously the plan from the start. But there have been a lot of complications. We've literally heard nothing about a Stevenson fight. Now there is a lawsuit against Stevenson (I don't know how much if any this plays a role), Golden Boy in shambles and rebuilding. So things seem to be in limbo for the time being.

          Looks like Kovalev's people tried to get with anyone representing BHOP and not one of them even knew what was going on.

          So much for that.

            Someone needs to tally and screenshot all the posters in this thread who's going for Kovalev and/or bashing Hopkins.

            Be something great to look at in the future

                B-Hop beats the very flawed Stevenson but will get whacked for his troubles by Kovalev.

                He would hit 50 by the time this happens and he will hit the wall as well.
                At the end of the day, it's a young mans town and he made some beautiful noise by working in it as long as he has.

                  B Hop would destroy the Russian. He has good power but is a counter punchers dream. B Hop would limit his output, frustrate him, then catch him coming in with an looping right.

                    10 years ago: absolutely. 5 years ago: probably. Now. I don't think so and I don't want Hopkins to find out. Kovalev is miles ahead of Pavlik. He's mentally MUCH tougher, is a better boxer than Pavlik ever was and packs more of a punch.

                      At this point in Hopkins' career he doesnt need to prove anything to anybody. He does this for the love and fame of this sport
