Comments Thread For: Hopkins, Kovalev Agree To Terms For November Clash

[milkroot]

Hopkins is so many levels above Kovalev. I don't see what the big deal is.

Yes I agree Kovalev is strong and is good at coming forward, but that's it! B-Hop has so many dimensions to his game.

This Russian is KO-ing nobodys and hasn't shown the ability to overcome serious adversity or fight backing up, i.e. setting traps off the back foot.

He also doesn't move his head and has defensive liabilities.

I can see Kov taking a lot of damage to the head from a good boxer. Marcos Maidana is a prime example of a boxer who can be a brawler, yet still move his head, have defense, fight backing up, and overcome serious adversity.

Maidana is better than Kovalev. Fighting bums doesn't prove anything.

Why is it that Hopkins vs Stevenson never happen? wasn't that the reason Stevenson moved to showtime?

In curious about this as well. Stevenson moved to showtime supposively TO fight Hopkins, so I'm wondering what happened. Glad it did but still curious.

Maidana has come up short on several occasion against good but not great comp, like Khan, Kotelnik and getting shut out by Alexander, who's not a top flight welter

LOL @ Maidana being better than Kovalev. Maidana has lost almost every time he's stepped up. He lost to Khan, Alexander, Floyd, and Kotelnik.

Maidana's best win is Broner.

Kovalev has wins over Cleverly and Campillo, a champion and a contender, respectively.

I'm wondering what the hell happened, too. It was a big risk for Stevenson to leave Kovalev on the table like that and (boxing wise) it only seemed to make some sense if he intended to go after Bhop. I'm not mad though, looks like Hopkinsv Kov, Stevenson vs Pascal is good with me

Da **** out wit the nonsense.. Man Hopkins gona whoop that wackass Youro bum KKKovalev . Man said the n-word on tape and ma****as still rootin for him. I guess we all know why.

hopkins is a racist prick, I was so happy after he made his white boy comments that he got schooled in his own backyard

this time a white boy is sending him to a retirement home, he will be getting his remaining teeth knocked out

They gave him no choice. The offer ******. 10 to 1 they gave Hopkins more money than that chump change they offered Stevenson. Doesn't matter anyway. The winner of this fight is still ranked where they should be behind Stevenson.

Yeah! Stevenson is ranked high. #1 ducker of the world.
