Kovalev can't go into this fight with a "I'm fighting Bernard Hopkins" attitude.

He needs to go in with a "I'm fighting a 50 year old man and I'm going to wreck him" attitude.

You show Hopkins respect, and he finds a way to snatch the fight from you.

Well he's got the right mindset. Kovalev can't back off. He's has to attack Bhop and push the pace.

Yea, the Maidana attitude could work. I liked the advice of Hopkins' former trainer, who said to hit him in the arms, shoulders, body and anywhere else. If Kovalev's power is the real thing, a well-placed hard punch anywhere might be enough to get things going.

Then again, Pavlik and Cloud were hard punchers and they couldn't even get close enough to do shit.

Cloud is just bad. No passion. Methodical happy to be there crap.

Pavlik had a host of issues out of the ring. Plus the weight at 170. His feet were so slow. Like Angulo slow for that fight.

Pavlik was a middleweight. Cloud is mediocre.

Hoping against hope that this isn't yet another BHop grab N' hold fest. Would really be great if Kov was able to shake things up. Dawson had BHop's number.... but Kov isn't the boxer Dawson is.
