    Bernard Hopkins is a real MAN!!! He has cojones of steel He is afraid of no one. Bernard faced death twice in his younger days he is a true warrior. If kids need a role model look no further. I know he'd kick my ass for saying this though. He is the true rags to riches hero. Bernard loves the sport he just cant let t go.
    Bernard is a REAL ATG!! one of the TRUE best ever If only the prima donnas like Mayweather Canelo, Cotto, Stevenson etc had half the heart & cojones then maybe they could be called real champions

    Agree to disagree on that one.

    Fact is, we don't even know what he has left.

    Hes 51, hasn't fought in about 18 months, and took a serious beating in his last fight which probably took a lot out of him.

    The guy could have literally nothing left. I certainly doubt hes gotten faster and better since Kovalev beat him up.

    Massive respect to Hopkins and a bit ridiculous from Adonis if he did reject the fight, but I don't want to see GGG-Hopkins. Obviously this is only if Saunders and Canelo don't end up working out but still, Hopkins doesn't need to go out like that

    Not sure about that. In any case these guys pose a much bigger threat to Stevenson than Hopkins does.

    Original. I'm not a fan of Stevenson and I'm a big fan of Hopkins, but his handspeed and power is way too much for Bernard at this stage. Hopkins doesn't even have a punchers chance.

    Kovalev is bigger...I don't find him more athletic at all.

    I like both fighters and have ZERO interest in watching this. Very much doubt it'll happen though for many reasons.
