    I expect a Kovalev KO4 win by bodyshot, but you'll never know with the alien.

    That's the problem I'm having with this fight. My head says a man clearly in decline and 2 months shy of 50 can't beat such a formidable fighter as Kovalev, but with BHop you never know.

    Power isn't everything and while Kovalev maybe the biggest puncher Hopkins has ever faced and at the very least the most effective fighter at applying that power that Hopkins has faced, I still have my doubts.

    We've seen Hopkins pit time and again with the most fearsome of punchers who were seen as too good and too powerful, Tito and Pavlik were all seen as too powerful yet he took that power away and schooled them. I'm still favouring Kovalev but I don't think it will be an easy fight for Kovalev.

    Lol now im stalking and attacking you. Seems you make about half the threads here. So pardon me for commenting. I find it funny you think I'm attacking you and you're sensitive about it. But it is okay for you to make PED claims and predict fighters are going to be destroyed.

    Your predictions have been very bad. I'm just pointing that out.

    Nobody and i mean nobody destroys Hopkins not even at the age he has now. The guy could go up to HW and i still wouldnt pick anyone to stop him thats how high i regard his chin, his defense, his skills, his cageyness and his endless bag of tricks.

    Punching power means *nothing* if you can't find the target and Hopkins has already beaten better fighters...

    Win, lose or draw, if Hopkins lasts the 12 rounds. He deserves the utmost respect.

    He doesn't like GGG :conf, and many predicted Donaire to destroy Walters.

    I predicted those fights pretty fine, even had the round right at Walters KO over Donaire and totally agree with CST on this one.

    You must mean the other way around, right? Liability against Kovalev, because he doesn't get in deep water?
    What the hell do you mean?
