    Hopkins knows his only gimmick right now is the fact that he's old. No one cared about him before, and they barely care about him now. While he has good boxing skills, he has an ugly, foul filled, spoiling style that has gained him almost no fans over the years.

    Then we have Kovalev. He's on his way up, has good skills and frightening power. Absolutely willing to fight anyone, no bull****. This guy would not only knock hopkins out, but he could SERIOUSLY damage his health, and kill his ego. I know this, Kovalev knows this, HOPKINS knows this, and aside from a few panther trolls no one disagrees.

    What are we left with then? Hopkins has no intention of fighting Kovalev. He's been feasting on low skill guys these last years just to hear "the old man did it again!".

    Lately he's been saying Kovalev's name just to get people interested in him continuing to fight nobodies. Give it up old man, no one believes you have any desire to fight, or chance to beat, Sergey Kovalev.

    Log off, muppet.

    Bernard Hopkins has been around since forever... he's a LEGEND in the sport, the fk would he want to piggyback off the back of someone who hasn't fought anyone?!

    Hopkins has been around forever, and no one watches his fights.

    Kovalev has emerged in the last 2 years and already has a bigger fanbase. Hopkins NEEDS to piggyback off the guy who is very clearly at the top of his division.

    Low skill guys like Cloud, Dawson and Pascal that are way better than anyone Kovalev has ever fought. And has Kovalev ever even been on PPV?

    Kovalev is clearly a nobody here, he is an immigrant who took the WBOtitle from Nathan Cleverly and bases himself behind Main Events and Kathy Duvas skirts and J D Jackson personas. Nobody is frightened of the russian even though he looks like a psycho talking, Adonis left him talking alone, Andre will not get into a deal easily unless Main Events and HBO pay like they did when he stopped Chad and there is no one else to fight so he can well take a hike and go to MMA or to K1 where guys like that succeed. Damage Hopkins health?Oh please... This guy plays disrespectful and ends up with a broken nose at the face-off and cut all ova the face during the fight. So basically that's it, you don't like Hopkins or boxing, turn into the UFC and MMa and you will have orgasms with russians like that. This is a boxing board.

    "B-but, MUH LEGEND!"

    Damage control in full swing.
    BHop is safe and sound on Showtime, just like Quillin, Lara and the rest of the barking dogs.:rofl

    They want to see people going to palookaville with kicks and chokes and they want it fast like in 3 minutes rounds like they do it in the K1 fights in Japan. Since Boxing is and always will be the main stage, they can't stand classic fighters and throwbacks, tjhey don't understand clinching, inside fighting, defense, footwork, shoulder roll, they want hard punches but it doesn't work against Mayweather, Hopkins, Ward, Whitaker and so many others so they stand for Mike Tyson and Roy Jones at his prime and wait for the nest thing that will wipe out everything that they hate and those are the triple G, the Kovalevs and more. We don't need these fans.

    LMFAO! Hopkins is a legend in the sport a top 40 ATG. You think he needs to piggy back off a guy that would kill to have a career as good as him?

    The living legend, Bernard Hopkins.

    Ask Kovalev, Quillin and GGG what they would give to be where Bernard Hopkins is.
