Hopkins DESPERATE to Piggyback off Kovalev's name

Kovalev would knock Hopkins out within 4 rounds. Bhop is experienced enough to know this and that's the reason he will avoid him and retire before more people know about Kovalev.

 

look at this reject and his friend jacking each other off. :verysad

 

4 rds you say who's the last person to have hurt. Hopkins to the point he would be Ko'ed let alone done so in under 6 rds ..:think

 

All you guys that try to insult Bernard Hopkins only do it out of jealousy. You know full well that the fighter you idolize will NEVER have a legacy like Bernard.
You know in your hearts that neither Joe Calzaghe nor Jermaine Taylor ever LEGITIMATELY !! beat Bernard Hell the most surprised people in the arena when they heard the judges dec were Taylor & Lou DiBella
As for Slappy Calzaghe ? Forget it He didn't throw 20 legitimate scoring punches all fight long

 

Bhopz dun b da leadzund!!!

Hez kan du wateva hez wantz....

 

Calzaghe beat Hopkins on his own turf, made Hopkins look like a fool. Jones beat Hopkins, Taylor beat Hopkins, Dawson beat Hopkins and Kovalev would knock him out and Hopkins knows it. Hopkins will not be fighting Kovalev nor Stevenson next...............

 

LOL!

BHOP is a total trip! The guy is phenomenal and at 48 still beats up better opposition than his 19 years younger co-belt holders.

They say; No way old man BHOP can hang with Kelly. The dude is much too big and much too strong. BHOP whips his ass like he's his Grandson.

They say: Hopkins can't beat Shumenov. The guy throws too many punches, is too strong and too young. BHOP whips his ass like he's his student.

They say: Hopkins can't beat Stevenson. Stevenson has too much skill and will knock him out. BHOP will definitely beat Stevenson IF they can get the deal done this year.

Kovalevl? He's a nobody and BHOP would beat his pasty faced ****** ass too.

 

joe thought he had cherrypicked another weakling when he waited all those years for Hopkins to turn 43.

he expected an easy fight by outgassing what he thought must have been a shot hop, look at the surprise on joes face when he gets floored and realises its not going to be a walk in the park against a shot guy. despite making sure he had every advantage over an old man, he barely made it.

 

Lol at these stupid fanboys in here....Hopkins is an all time great...Kovalev seems like a very good fighter, but he's still unproven at the elite level....He could succeed or he could fail at the elite level...We don't know yet

On the other hand Hopkins has succeeded at the elite level for 10+ YEARS....

Funny enough I don't think its Russians who are hyping up Kovalev so much....Just White Americans and also some Western Europeans.

 

I'm White dummy...But my comments are the harsh truth....Black American fighters are consistently under appreciated and underrated by fans compared to other fighters in the sport....I think it's because we have seen so many of them over the years that they aren't " unique or cool" enough to root for by most casual boxing fans.....And not to mention there is some lingering dislike for them overall regardless of how they act

Kovalev is the White foreign Deontay Wilder in my mind....Looks good fighting cans, but has not fought any elite but unlike Wilder he is not criticized for it.

This doesn't really apply to Foreign Black fighters since they are foreigners (so they are cool enough to root for) and they tend to be more modest in how they present themselves (this shouldn't affect how we judge a boxers fighting ability, but it does for many)....

 

One of the dumbest threads I've ever seen. Hopkins a top 40 ATG and one of the best fighters of this era needing to use Kovalev to build himself up. I mean you can't make this stuff up. The thread starter is delusional.

 

You just gave me the long winded version of what you already claimed except for being White, which I already suspected.

 

You're not American so quit with the bull****. You're the biggest racist on ESB and you hate America along with anyone of color.

 

mmm KO4Clev is a fair bit more than Deontay in professional terms, although hes a year and a bit older, I guess from the top fo head.

Wildey has his medal though, so he has a more prodigious beginning.
