    Struggle?
    Hop was toying with Murat. He even traded with him at times in that fight which very uncharacteristic of him.
    Kovalev is gonna get Pavliked.

    He's not fast nor very active which is exactly how Hopkins wants his opponents.

    Believe me if Hop calls you out there are things in you he feels that he can exploit.
    Kovalev will be exploited by the old man.

    He meant it. He said that had Haye beaten Klitschko he was gonna go up and fight him. Klitschko derailed that fight from happening.

    Oh I'm sure he meant it, never doubting Hopkins to be honest.

    Hopkins might be trying to use some leverage here to get more money for a possible Stevenson's fight. He already called out Stevenson, right after he last fought. But since then things have change.

    If Kovalev fights Hopkins on HBO, Stevenson will then fight a noname (which doesn't mean bad) fighter for peanuts on Showtime.

    As I recall Hopkins was calling out Haye after he had beaten Valuev but prior to Klitschko-Haye being signed.

    Do you remember what Hopkins tried to do with Adamek?

    Why belittle the man's astounding accomplishments with steroid accusations with no evidence?

    Don't be surprised when Pavlik finishes his sentence.....he said he signef an NDA....WHY?????????
    WHY DID MURAT AND SHUMENOV SIGN NDAS.?!?!?!?!?

    Peterson passed USADA testing vs Khan BC his levels were less than 6X the average...yet Vada busted him.

    Pascal also ratted out BHOP and asked for VADA TYPE tezting. yet he signed NDA B4 fight

    No way HBO does this. They've seen Bernard ruin some of their future stars(Taylor, Pavlik, Tito)

    HBO has the RIGHT to refuse airing it but they don't own Kovalev....they sign him for a certain # of fights and can decline an opponent but that only hurts them as they lose great ratings and like u said....if Kovalev is beaten.....


    They still owe him X amount for fights. The networks risk and get reward....they lose with Murat but gain with Kovalev.
