    GGG is doing the same with Ward as well but unfortunately Ward ducked him for a long time and that fight wouldn't make a sense now, when GGG wants to unify all MW titles.

    But there is also Kovalev waiting for Ward.

    When did Ward duck Golovkin?
    I thought Ward wanted Golovkin to move up to SMW, but that may be incorrect. I dont think Golovkin could be called ducking for not changing weight divisions and dont think Ward could be called ducking for not changing weight divisions, though I dont think either want to step away from what is a known quantity.

    I give alot of credit to Hopkins for agreeing to face Kovalev, regardless of the result

    Im just interested in seeing what kind of boxing skills both fighters will display with their contrasting styles. Bernard will definitely pull some tricks out of his bag, things that Kovalev and none of his opponents have probably even faced. Bernard is definitely a master in the art of boxing and there are not many like him, though Andre Ward is def the guy i would compare most to the Alien. Kovalev is a real beast, and could KO B-Hop at any moment. I wonder about Kovalevs stamina, will he be frustrated if he is not successful early on? Bernard will make it ugly and unconventional and Kovalev’s defense is not anywhere near B-Hop’s. I cant bet against B-Hop on this one, I dont think Kovalev has the speed to frustrate B-hop the way that others have. Bernard may even have better hand speed than Kovalev.

    No.

    Hopkins is the most crafty, tricky and dirty boxer in the sport.

    There's no way he'll be KOed in a couple of rounds like Cloud was.

    Hopkins might beat Kovalev, B-Hop is a legitimate all time great.

    Hopkins will smother and spoil his way to victory over Kovalev

    Why is he "sick" :patsch Because he favors EE fighters. What's wrong w/that. Most boxing fans favor fighters they identify with - mostly on some racial/ethnic or national basis - even if they don't want to admit it.

    Do you favor champs that are nice and tarry? :p
