    I would fear for bhop's health if he fought these guys, but you never know

    The best thing for Hopkins is stay at Showtime and not try to negotiate any fights with Stevenson or Kovalev.

    We all saw what Hopkins look like in his last fight. He was fighting a slow, Cleverly leftover and he got tagged quite a bit. His reflexs are gone.

    A fight with Stevenson or Kovalev will only result in him getting KO'ed. He isn't schooling anyone. These guys are not not slow and one-dimensional like Pavlik. They're fast, powerful fighters who knows how to fight.

    B-hop is too old to take a real punch from a killer like Kovalev or Stevenson.
    Bernard would get hurt badly and it would not be good for the sport!

    Prime Hopkins would definitely school both of them on the same night.

    Current Hopkins, however, would lose badly :!:

    Calzaghe easily outboxed Hopkins years ago....................so did Jones, Taylor, Dawson, etc.

    HOPKINS SAID THAT HE WOULD NEVER FIGHT STEVENSON OR KOVALEV, which tells us a lot. Stevenson or Kovalev would knock Hopkins out cold...........

    Why is Hopkins still sticking around, talking crap and cherry picking opponents? Fight a top guy or go away. The guy only appeals to the simple minded anyways.

    Dirty, ugly fighter with an equally repulsive personality who has been living out of a syringe for years. The sport really needs guys like that.

    Kovalev was Hopkins' mandatory, but refused to fight him. Nothing was done about Hopkins refusal to fight Kovalev, whatever, Kovalev beat Cleverly and won the WBO championship because he knew that Hopkins would never fight him................

    b hop would fight adonis or kovalev but the whole network thing will stop happening.an he said he will most likely look for fight at the a smaller weight. im assuming 168.

    i like b hop/froch... froch fights on all networks it could happen.

    maybe even fight dirrell/bika winner. or arthur abraham

    BHop would figure out a way to take away Stevenson's left hand, take the fight to the inside and smother Stevenson. Stevenson gets uncomfortable when the fight is on the inside and he can't through that straight left.

    Kovalev would break Hopkin's old body down with those murderous arm punches though.
