Bernard Hopkins fears no man. Unlike so many "modern" boxers who are scared to face GGG, the old throwback wants one last fight and the man who will motivate him the most is GGG. Will the great B-Hop take this as his last fight?
You obviously have not scene the latest interview that Hopkins gave while promoting Herrera vs Lundy. He says that is the only fight he wants!
this is a terrible fight for him, he'd get hurt badly, if you're a true bhop fan you'd advise him against it. Kovalev then GGG? He took serious damage against Kovalev, I dont want the guy to be braindead.
You know how age works right? And GGG is clearly better as Pavlik too. I really expect B-Hop to take the fight, he also fought Kovalev afterall who's close to Golovkin level of being feared, and an actual LHW.
Time for B hop to go. Nothing for him to prove and it'd be a shame for him to become a stepping stone for others.
Pavlik was a one dimensional slugger, knockout puncher how can you even compare him to GGG, wtf is wrong with you bro?
Kovalev and GGG in a raw would be the true ATG way to end a career, and a stupid way at the same time. B-hop could take permanent damage if he fights GGG at 168, and it'd be meaningles for GGG to move up to 175 at this stage of his career. I don't think the fight is gonna happen.
Hopkins sure feared Kovalev because after he got knocked down he ran the rest of the fight and wouldn't engage.
He has the b*lls, I hope he doesn't take this fight though, he has nothing left to prove to anybody, and he has cemented his place in boxing history. Some boxers need to know when it's time to call it quits. He's healthy and needs to retire IMO, if he continues at his age, he will be sounding like James Toney in no time.
