    Kind of a pointless thread without actual figures.

    I don't see how Kov doesn't win this

    Too strong, too tough, and too hungry. I think Sergey crushes bhop within 4 rounds

    Wow! Props to Hopkins if this is true!

    Although I just feel at Hopkins age, something is going to give and he's going to come crashing down at some point. Hopefully it isnt this fight against such a HUGE puncher.

    Well yeah - amusing I guess.

    Against Blake 'fists of feathers' Caparello it'd take an act of God though.

    Now this is what boxing / boxers SHOULD be doing. Huge respect to hopkins the man is indeed a complete legend.

    50 is only a number when it comes to hopkins. Im backing Kov but I would not be shocked if Hop he pulls this off.

    Kovalev was willing to fight for almost nothing, therefore giving Hopkins a huge payday. Stevenson was not willing to give in to Hopkins demands....................

    Stevenson's camp:

    “We really thought we were going to go into a fight with Bernard Hopkins, but he was too greedy,” Stevenson’s promoter Yvon Michel told TVA Sports. Michel stated that Hopkins wanted nearly 75% of the money offered by Showtime.

    If kovalev kos Bhop it will catapult him into stardom. It's a worthwhile risk.

    Stevenson Pascal is very interesting I got Pascal in that one if it gets made, Pascal has great chin, he may even get a stoppage.

    Plus they say Hopkins is taking less money by fighting KOvalev, kind of meaning Hopkins is ducking Stevenson. They also are saying that Hopkins never really negociated with Stevenson.

    Even though every post from Farmboxer is suspicious, the reallity of what the OP is saying in the thread is also suspicious!
