    I think Bernard Hopkins will soon call out either Kovalev or Stevenson. I'm convinced that BHop schools both of them, and I know that BHop knows that.

    These big punchers with no handspeed are helpless once they're in the ring with Hopkins, who just boxes circles against this type of fighter.:deal

    His iq is on another level

    He would use every tactic in the book

    Would stink out a ud against Adonis

    But kovalev could catch him cold

    Let us remember that Dawson beat Hopkins with notable ease just a year and a half ago. I don't think that should be downplayed here, I know styles are radically different but nonetheless...

    Too bad we will likely never find out given that Hopkins now seems to be a Showtime man and Adonis and Kovalev being HBO's boys.

    I don't see him taking Kovalev or even being competitive with him.

    I would likely pick Adonis over Hopkins. His weakness to me will be his punch resistance but Hopkins doesn't have much power so that works for him. Hop'd have to move more than Bellew did, but I do think he'd throw back more too. Hopkins' chances would grow significantly if he made it past the first 4 rounds without being shaken or damaged up to the body.

    I would actually really like that to happen...

    Big punchers with no handspeed??

    Have you seen either fighter recently??

    Adonis is way quicker than the Dawson who skooled Bernard.

    Both TKO him no doubt.

    I don't get why Hopkins is so overrated these days. Lets put it this way... you have to make Stevenson a big favourite vs Hopkins and as for Kovalev... forget about it.

    at this stage, hops body won't react fast enough to what his mind is telling them. hopkins is going to get hurt.

    kovalev and stevenson were impressive, karo murat wouldn't get out of 3rd if he fought either of them last night.
