Comments Thread For: Hopkins Hopes Beating Kovalev Eliminates The Haters

Lol

This is funny to me because I think BHOP has created his Own Haters in his mind..... Not enough people Hate you for you to go there BHOP. But whatever gets you going I guess.

Let's be honest for a second here. The hate BHOP receives won't be erased by anything in particular that he does. He can go out and KO Kova-rated and Stevenson, go on to unify and 50 years old and those people that hate him will still hate him. The hate has nothing to do with his accomplishments or lack of them. That's fine though, embrace the hate and make money off of these chumps.

ok,,,,just come out and say it. its a race thing right? give me a break. hops gets tons of credit from most boxing people and the ones that dont rate him much probably dont like his ugly grappling style. guys like wlad get the same treatment for that. quit crying and blaming race. hops will get his due once he retires

Didn't mention any of what you just mentioned, that's all on you. That's probably part of it, but there are other reasons why I've heard people saying they disliked BHOP. One being his age and fighting style, and ability to still rack up wins at his age.

well,,,I think most of the hate is from his ugly style that hes adopted over the years since he's got older and his reflexes have slowed. I think once he retires those against him will realize his accomplishments and longevity and recognize it more. I dont think he gets as much hate and disrespect as he seems to think tho. the majority of us recognize him as a great including myself even tho I dont like watching his fights anymore with all the smothering and such

No he isn't but for some reason people on here think he is great

There is a reason you don't ever see numerous articles with Kovalev claiming hes the best and trash talking. His fists do the tlaking, from day one he's made it clear he wants to clean out the division.


But hey, I fully expect you two to be the type of guys who will still call him an overhyped bum even after he beats Hopkins, Adonis (if he grows a pair) and if Ward ever mans up and moves up to 175 and takes his beating.


When Kovalev becomes undisputed LHW king...... I'll get back to you guys and see how you feel. Oh and when he beats Hopkins..... it'll be hilarious to see you two discredit him even more by saying he beat an old man. Oh well, history and records are what counts.... Internet haters do not! (yes, I'm upset. this is my hero)


Something tells me the hate will always be there, though

Id give kovalev credit if he beats hops because hes still competitive at his advanced age but I really dont think hes going to win. speed is what gives an old fighter like hops the biggest fits but kovalev is no speed demon and I think hops will frustrate the hell out of him and eke out an ugly decision win. im just not that high on kovalev

[chico malo ali]

ill be rooting for b- hop to whoop some kovalev booty.

[Bushbaby]

Please. If Hopkins beats Kova, he'll increase the hate tenfold. Floyd fans are gonna go ape$h!t.

[Tobi.G]

Im no Hopkins-hater at all but i just think he will lose to Kovalev. You have to respect Hopkins for what hes done hes a legend but i really believe he will absolutely get flattened by Kovalev. It is what it is man.

There are only 4 fighters right now im a hater of, Adrian Broner, Wladimir Klitschko, Andre Ward and Danny Garcia.
