Comments Thread For: Hopkins: No Excuses, Golovkin Should Fight Kovalev!

[about.thousands]

This is where it started, with this question to Canelo

Canelo said GGG needs to fight someone before he would take the fight. I asked Canelo who and Bernard Hopkins chimed in with "Kovalev." WTF?

C'mon Hopkins. You know ggg ain't got heart like you to skip a weight class and fight the best. You asking to much of the man. He don't wanna be great. He wants to collect trinkets.

Hopkins career began at 175.....has nothing to do with heart...he LOST HIS TITLES AFTER HE UNIFIED THEM..lets keep it real now

Bernard, what about GGG fighting Canelo before GGG moves up?

Also, what about you fighting GGG, even at a catch weight? Bet we don't hear from you about either of those topics.

GGG's team turned the Hopkins fight down,,he fought Kovalev why the hell wouldnt he fight GGG?

Meanwhile Hopkins was at middleweight from AT LEAST 1992 until 2005 lol

Log off ******.

How come mayweather couldn't fight GGG at 154? A weight he fought at. But GGG should jump 2 divisions mayweather can't fight in his own weight he had a belt? No Berto is better.

wtf does Mayweather have to do with this thread? why can GGG move DOWN!!!! but not up!!!!!?

[Weebler I]

Kovalev can't get under 175, so it would be GGG moving up 15lbs.

Oddly enough though, Tom Loeffler has said on camera before that they're open to it.

Admit it B-Hop, Oscar put you up to this, didn't he? It even sounds like him. How many times did you guys rehearse, & Oscar tell you, "Now put it in your own words"?

100 percent correct

Down is much harder, remember?

Let's be honest, they didn't "turn it down". Hopkins said he'd fight him and GGG team said if all other options fail they'd entertain the idea...

Let's not make it like GGG now ducked Hopkins too.

One fight at 177 before he went down. Went as low as 156 for Oscar. Yea he lost his titles then skipped a weight class and took on the champ at 175 and went down in weight to fight fighters coming up in weight. I'm not even about to let you embarrass yourself today by debating Hopkins heart.
