Comments Thread For: Bernard Hopkins Felt Undersized Against Sergey Kovalev

[I Love Jesus!]

I thought he had the same problem with dawson. O well his body looked terrible. his muscle is atrophying

There is not much difference in their size. I would expect Kovalev to be bigger boned as he is a natural 175lb'er. Hopkins spent most of his years fighting at 160, and Saturday he looked soft when in the ring in comparison to Kov, but he has looked that way for a few years now.

[I Love Jesus!]

Regardless I can imagine they all felt undersized when they fought Hopkins.

Pavliks bigger then him

Nothing to do with undersized...
You just weren't confident enough to throw down, you threw your head down as soon as Kovalev was about to throw so whenever the action happened you could always rely on the referee separating it up on the chances of you being hit behind the head....

Even with his spoiling tactics he really should have been stopped by the referee in the final round.

[I Love Jesus!]

I'm not missing the point at all.

I'm saying those fighters likely felt the same when they fought Hopkins for similar reasons.

Shut up ya know it all we can all see you're trying to discredit his wins. You know what else all those so called smaller fighters had? An age advantage

Pavlik was a MW at that time. Hopkins a LHW

[The Big Dunn]

KOvalev looked bigger than him but that had nothing to do with the win. He was the better, smarter boxer on Sat night.

Truth hurts. Hopkins biggest wins came against guys he was physically bigger than. This is fact.

On what planet?

Heaviest he'd ever weighed prior to that fight was 164 lbs and that was one time.

He was moving up 10 lbs in weight to 170.

[Weebler I]

No, he's made weight on the first try for all his fights, he was never 2 lbs over.

He's "strong" at the weight, that's why Duva and JDJ says no catchweights for Ward.
