Hopkins-Kovalev: Done Deal

[Fetta]

I think Hopkins definitely is showing his loyalty to Oscsr with this move. This fight is probably a lot more telling than it may appear.

At 49 BHop is showing loyalty to BHop. This is all him and his legacy

Espinoza took a big hit.

Asked Espinoza if this damaged SHO***39;S relationship with @GoldenBoyBoxing: "I***39;m not sure. I have to hear from Oscar...process all the info."

lol u ain't lying

After he beats Kovalev: "Hopkins wants no part of (new up and coming European power puncher who got a nice KO streak against B/C fighters), he won't fight him, this fighter ain't no Kovalev"

Oscar's middle finger to Showtime for their Haymon allegiance. Kovalev/Hopkins is the better fight anyway, Stevenson would have been exposed like Pascal.

Of course. Then onto the next "bashing of a fighter who doesn't look like me" he goes

You have to applaud B-Hop.

49 years old, accepts a fight that others wanted no part of.

Love it

Kovalev went from "not just a puncher, has skills too" "he's no Pavlik, Tarver, Trinidad, Pascal..complete different beast", "hopkins won't fight him, too dangerous, he knows it".

To: Kovalev worss than Pavlik, Hopkins feasting on hyped up Eurobots with no footwork, no handspeed, no experience against A level fighter, no experince in 10-12 round fights. When will Hopkins fight an actual threat?

Kev, why are you projecting one guy's opinion to the rest of the board? Different people have different opinions. Do you have any evidence that Mr.Fantastic has contradicted himself?
