    Props to Hopkins for taking Kovalev over Stevenson. He realizes the best and most feared is Kovalev and targets him for the respect and legacy. Can't be possible to not consider him an ATG

        Nice.. Hopkins vs Kovalev should be on HBO being that their network is still the biggest stage for all of the fighters and the sport of Boxing in general.

          An inspiration for anybody

          But I don't think he fights kovalev, he's too dangerous For 50 year old
          Hopkins as great as bhop is

            His career has been through three decades now.

            In 7 months he'll hit 35 years.

              I'm pretty sure he fights Stevenson

              Then hopefully he retires because I think he beats Stevenson easily and he can ride off on a high

                Because he's been fighting one-dimensional fighters and non-elite ones.

                  Why do people keep giving Hopkins credit for fighting Kovalev.... Without actually fighting Kovalev?!? All he said was he would fight him.


                  I have nothing but respect for what Hopkins has achieved in his career. But this fight isn't happening. Absolutely no chance

                    Wow, Props to Pops for talking a great game !!! But, Stevenson is no Superman and perhaps can be had..... Stay away from Kovalev.... You might be an Alien, but don't do that to yourself.

                    If you want to further stamp legacy in boxing, then entice Mayweather to meet you around middleweight. Leave Kovalev alone, he's nothing but trouble !!! IMO...
