Will BHOP duck Sergey Kovalev?

I couldn't even call it a duck, honestly. Hopkins is too old for this. Fighters like Pascal and Cloud are one thing. Kovalev's already put one guy in the morgue, and Hopkins doesn't handle speed and combinations well right now. I don't think he can plan on Kovalev having a fight IQ in the single digits to compensate for the physical disadvantages he'll face in that fight.

 

High risk low reward for Hopkins at this moment in time.

 

at hopkins age he can fight whoever he damn well pleases
'duck' is not applicable here

 

this

 

do you really think a long time undisputed middleweight champion of the world (in the true sense of the word) cares what the IBF or any other federation ask of him?

and when was the last time you saw hopkins KO'd?

 

Think Kovalev would finally be B-Hop's Waterloo. Hard to be cunning run over by a tank.

 

really?
is he a bigger puncher than felix trinidad?

being a big puncher doesnt count for a whole lot if you dont hit your target...

 

Kovlalev is trained by John David Jackson. Jackson used to work in B Hop's corner. Interesting matchup.

 

ISNT 37 anymore...
and yet hes such a great ring general and has such savvy defensive skills that nobody can even look like KO'ing him

so i'll ask you again...when was the last time you saw hopkins get KO'd?
