    I looked how he moves and how fast he throws his punches.

    He moves and punches like junior middleweight. I mean his body is not Light Heavy. It looks very light when he moves. But his reach and height is.

    2 seconds and he away from you. 1 second he already in front of you.

    Especially his punches are all unexpected. ALL of them. it is super class.

    Why you guys was critizing him. He has excellent boxing skills, pure boxer.

    Calzaghe made Hopkins look like a damned fool........................

    Kovalev would knock Hopkins out, but Hopkins refused to fight him. Stevenson will knock Hopkins out also. Roid Jones beat Hopkins, so did Taylor................

    He's not fast, he's never been that fast, even during his prime he was never the quickest at middleweight. What he does have is great timing and great technique so his punches are not telegraphed and hard to read. What he is, is very sneaky and accurate.

    His footwork though is still superb, if you don't have good foot work and quick feet, you will always struggle with Hopkins.

    maximum of about 2 guys you can accuse of possibly ducking Kovalev, Hopkins and Stevenson.

    Ever heard of Gennady Golovkin? hes got a whole list :good

    IF Hopkins was to beat Stevenson AND Kovalev, hed have to go down as one of the greatest EVER.

    Even if he fights them and loses (but finishes the fight on his feet) thats still an achievement
