Comments Thread For: Hopkins Promises 'Threatening' Opponent in Final Fight

If you are a boxing fan, like him or not, you have to respect him. A truly great fighter with an amazing ability to adapt to whatever style was put In front of him and come out successful.

Golovkin! Hopkins is throwing himself in the way of the train to save Lemieux for a couple more fights.

Otherwise we already knew Hearn was talking about Hopkins for DeGale (especially now that Brook/Rios is likely off). Hearn could be using Froch as a carrot to DeGale.

... Yeah... If he aims at GGG Hopkins is looking to buy his boss some more time...
But I don't know if Froch would be very interested.

a GGG is actually a step down from the Kovalev fight. the only opponent that would make me say "man hopkins is crazy" is a fight against the heavyweight champ klitschko.

a Haye fight would also be crazy

I kind of admire the old man, the younger "champs" should be taking notes.

Hopkins wants to fight at 168. Golovkin says he'll only move up to 168 for a "big fight". This should surely qualify?

I don't by this BS 4 a moment...he'll take an ezy 1, he's not going out w/another loss...

Not enough to push him to 168, now you have to push him up to 170? Why not make it all the way to 174? How desperate are you GGG haters to find someone to beat him? Aren't you embarrassed that none of your heroes have the balls to get in the ring with him? Maybe you should challenge him yourself?

Hopkins was 49 and fights Kovalev. Froch is 37(?) and swerves Golovkin like a mule. One guy still trying to build his better legacy the other guy trying to protect his lesser legacy for all it is worth. Both guys got my respect for past deeds but when it comes to current words who has the credibility? Hopkins for stepping in with Kovalev.
