Comments Thread For: Hopkins Hints at Possible Golovkin Clash After Kovalev

I'm afraid that Hopkins really lives in a parallel universe...
I can see why he is so keen to take fights with the likes of Kovalev or Golovkin -- because B-Hop doesn't actually understand their boxing style...
... But taking a Ward fight is too much for me to understand. Ward would beat him even tomorrow -- with no training camp at all...Last edited by MDPopescu; 08-04-2014, 07:45 AM.

Besides the obvious age difference, how is B-Hop fighting Kovalev at this stage of Kovalev's career any more threatening than when Mayweather fought Canelo last fall?

Another is power; Canelo has good power, Kovalev has vicious power.
This won't be at a catch-weight either.

He's a solid fighter with good power, nothing more...I also had him losing to Lara. Canelo's boxing skill was shown against Mayweather, he was slow, sloppy and lost.
Kovalev isn't great either, but his power is huge and his opponent is 50. Again, the lack of a catch-weight makes this tougher also.
