    I said i wouldnt ever pick against Hopkins again.....but this would be his most dangerous fight since Tarver

    :lol: Tarver.

    Sergey KRUSHER Kovalev is just alot more schooled and deadlier than tarver.
    Tarver to me was a good athlete with some skills but be sure Kovalev is much better in terms of skills and definitely power.

    not since Echols at 160 and his power isnt in the same league with Kovalev.
    echols was 22-2-1 (22 KOS)

    I say that because Hopkins jumped from 160 to 175 to fight the Light Heavyweight Champion ...the #1 guy at that weight. Hopkins was an underdog.
    Tarver was an Olympic Medalist and was well schooled....i wouldnt say KOV is a better boxer than he was, but yes, more power so far

    Nope he wasn't a top fighter either

    It's hard to tell if hopkins really has a iron chin as he hasn't faught a real banger

    Judging by the job Dawson did on him ,I think kovalev would hit Hopkins a few times and then he would fake injury

    I love Hopkins, but there was no way in hell that little fall injured him. He couldnt have fallen any softer. Shows you how smart he is, collected his million plus dollar check for doing nothing and basically got paid twice for 1 fight.
    and didnt give a **** what anyone thought

    i know its been a while, but the Segundo Mercado fight, Hopkins was knocked down twice...and hurt. Hes not superman, and is human....but if someone cracks him hard enough flush, he will go down....its just he doesnt get hit flush anymore

    Well dont worry guys because ive changed my prediction.

    Sergey KRUSHER Kovalev doesnt UD Hopkins

    he smashes both of his shoulders in and then knocks him out with a jab.

    One thing I hate about fans on here who say rou jones was an all time great at 160, his only good win there was beating an inexperienced and relatively average b-hop

    This b-hop went on to draw with mercado but no one calls mercado an all time great 160 pounder

    It took bhop 4-5 years to develop into the monster at 160 after the jones fight

    Kovalev is a wanna be who is a sure future has been like so many others. The guy has a sure stamped ticket to the CW Division for losing his WBO LWT Title very soon and to the most unexpected which will schock only his legion of pathetic fans. Watch out him go out of the picture in the next half year to come.
