    I'll bet you $100 right now that Hopkins will never fight Kovalev.

    Before Hopkins recently started saying **** like "I'll beat Kovalev easier than I beat Pavlik", he was quoted as to saying "wow, this guy (Kovalev) is good!" .. On his twitter.
    Now he calls him a bum. That means he has no intention of fighting Kovalev.

    "The HBO-Showtime war has derailed many a big fight in the past, and this one doesn’t seem to be any different. But Kovalev’s trainer feels that’s just a convenient excuse used by fighters to avoid fights.

    “Bernard [Hopkins] is smart. I gotta give Bernard credit. He uses this war between HBO and Showtime as his shield not to fight Sergey,” Jackson said.

    “A lot of guys are doing that. In boxing, if they really want the fight to happen, the fighters can make it happen. They are the commodities. These guys would rather hide behind this so-called cold war thing rather than fight the best in the world.”

    Better source? From the biased mouth of Stevenson's promoter? What's he supposed to say, that Stevenson ran because he's afraid?

    Please. I'll take a non-biased source over any promoter's words. It's like Coca Cola saying Coke is great for people's teeth and health. Yeah, I'm gonna believe that.

    Stevenson didn't want to fight Kovalev. It's just that simple.

    Anyone defending Stevenson at this point is either a liar or in denial.

    I am not sure many people are saying that. We all know he is doing it for the money. 99% of us want the Kov fight but it is not the only fight. This is business and Show is putting the boots to HBO. Not only did they take away the face of boxing the foiled the biggest match-up they had lined up. HBO could have had the fights they wanted if they matched shows offer but they refused . . . HBO loss. Kov also lost out on his meal ticket . . . I have faith in Kov that he will get all the riches he really wants but it just doesn't seem like it will go via a fight with stevenson

    I hope so ... and I dont want his legacy to be "he never really fought anyone". I want him to succeed and be an ATG. Yes, of course he has to win fights, but I know he'll do that.
