    Depends if Kovalev will be landing enough to make up for Hopkins' inactivity. Hopkins is only rarely active when he's freely able to land enough, conserve energy and keep his opponent swinging air.

    Hopkins takes SLOvalev to school, possibly stops him late

    It's really stupid mate, I wish all these guys supporting Hopkins would actually go out an stock some money on him because there's no value in backing kovalev anymore his odds are getting shorter and shorter

    All Kovalev has is power? He's one-dimensional? lol


    Well Darnell Boone seems to be of the opinion he can box.

    the funniest Thread i've seen for some time...

    because Kovalev is going to do some serious damage to Hopkins.

    if you think that Kov is going to stand back and not throw down, you need your head examined. Kov will walk him down and let the shots go, but won't leave himself wide open for the counter.

    props to Bernard for taking the fight, but it won't end nicely.

    Yeah, because Hopkins always finds himself on the winning end of questionable decisions in close fights.

    :roll:

    the guys you are arguing with will never give credit to anyone who is white.

    whether he has or not, russians get robbed here. the ref for hopkins-murat practically tagged in on behalf of hopkins.

    To reiterate my point, Hopkins has never once in his career been the beneficiary of a closely contested big time fight.

    I know ,Williams he was supposed to be a better prospect than beterbeiv, mekhontsev, gvodsyk and hooper according to these guys but I don't see anyone given campillo credit for beating the life out of him

    Same with cleverly, they say he was unproven , he beat bellew a definite top 10 fighter at the very least, beat the living **** out of murat, aguy Hopkins struggled with and had to recieve some help off the referee in that fight ,but apparently them wins mean nothing and flew had a glass jaw, even though he has moved up 25 pounds in weight and can walk through cruiser weight shots

    America is in for a rude awakening with Hopkins soon to retire and Williams he proven to be **** America will soon have no one .

    Kovalev ,Adonis ,fonfara,campillo and the likes will be joined by top prospects beterbeiv,mekhontsev,gvodsyk,hooper, and ward and de la cruz in the am's and will be the most packed division in boxing

    But the division will be classed as weak for a reason we all know
