    Just a side note, man the media has changed. Everything is so casual now. Here's a guy conducting an interview in a vest, baseball cap, covered in tattoos and sporting a pretty heavy accent, never mind the fact he didn't know Wales isn't IN England.

    To Pascal's credit he did manage to drop Hopkns but yeah Kovalev will get schooled by Hopkins ..Dawson had the tools to reign too bad he didn't have the mentality to do so !

    i root for fighters based on their character, not their country. i'm a fan of provodnikov, bradley, kovalev, andre ward, berto, pacquiao and nonito donaire. i don't root for some fighters because they're foreign, i'm behind them because they're not loud and obnoxious like mayweather, broner or hopkins. froch is a loudmouth too. why should i be a fan of somebody with no character as a person because they're from the same country as me?
    that's a load of crap.

    Hopkins made a contradictory statement and I called him on it. I don't even think it was that serious. Yet, because he's from the U.S., it's like you considered that the ultimate betrayal and got your panties in a bunch because of it. Whatever. Like I said, it's not that serious.

    i don't care how a person acts in or out of the ring, if the fighters a beast, the fighters a beast that's all there is to it. tyson, ali, leonard, duran, chavez, whitaker, delahoya etc etc all had their issues but they are still some of my favorites. mayweather may be great but i cant stand his style and how he has ducked time and time again. the klitshkos are annoying as hell and fight like punch and judy puppets. i could care less about their character.

    for the record, hopkins beats kovalev and shatters u russian lovers dreams.

    Indeed he did manage to drop him, but Hopkins did the same twice in the rematch but never got the scumbag referee's credit for it.

    Regarding Dawson, it's not only mentality that's his problem, it's his ability as well. The man had some serious ability but sadly never the made the most out of it. He would take rounds off randomly, throw and hurt his opponent only to decide that's enough for the round(or even night) and walk the hell away. It's almost impossible for me to say that I can't watch a boxing match but any involving Dawson and Mathew Hatton and I'm heading the F out. It's just far too frustrating to see someone hurt an opponent with a single punch, have him freeze and walk away for the rest of the round.

    that's cheap self promotion by a boring ass racist . 'I 'd never let a white boy beat me" and then gets the **** slapped out of him by a white boy ". He knows fight didn't happen and that's more of his than kovalev's fault . He can't fight volume fighters and claslappy proved it. All he can do is whine , run , hug , headbutt, , he couldn't do it against Dawson , so he quit. Kovalev would run over this old fool.

    To Hopkins credit both of those fights were entertaining .

    And I hear you with Dawson ,I really thought he was going to shake the con webs off against Stevenson them Bam look what happens ..That so frustrating to see a fighter with such ability just lose like he did ..

    American fans are the most objective compared to other nationalities. Wasn't Ali despised at some point during his career?, Mayweather at the moment?, Leonard whenever someone called him out?, RJJ?, Hopkins?. You don't really see blind hype when it comes to American fighters, even if you do there will be some objectivity and criticism along the way. Wasn't Pacquiao, a citizen of the Philippines appreciated and loved more than Mayweather and still is?. People that insult Americans for hype have zero clue what they're talking about.

    I did. My point was that if Hopkins really wants that fight (as opposed to having to fight Kovalev at some point, cause he's mandatory), there's a lot he can do to make it actually happen. I am not sure he really wants to fight Kovalev and I don't think he can win.

    You are such a racist you'd rather see a Russian beat an American just because he's white:deal

    Is it that bad not having any U.S white fighters that you losers have to jock-ride foreigners????:lol:

    No wonder Matheysse...GG...and Kovalev have so many of ya'll packed on their crotches like pubic lice.

    Damn..

    There's always NASCAR....hockey...and MMA....for butthurt bigots like you.

    He's the champion and Kovalev is HIS mandatory, does the champion pursue challengers that are supposed to seek HIS title and #1 position?. This doesn't require brains really unless you're plain stupid.
