This is the exact thought that came to mind for me. Boxing needs kovalev to KTFO hopkins. BHOP is almost 50 and needs to go away. His fights are almost unbearable to watch and on the other side we have a knockout machine in line (or should be) to fight stevenson. I like hopkins but he needs to retire.
Id give him more credit if he lasts the distance because of his age and the fact hes facing a KO machine. If Bernard gets brave and gets sparked in 2 rounds, i doubt hell get much credit.
