lol I read today that Hopkins could fight Povetkin! Kalle sauerland said: "Hopkins vs. Povetkin would be huge!" Also Schaefer said it is something they think about. here it is: http://www.boxen.de/news/kalle-sauerland-povetkin-gegen-hopkins-waere-riesig-25292 if you can read german.
Povetkin and risk doesn't go well together. He's been ducking the champ for 4 years now. Hopefully they will get it on because this is probably the best fighter Wladimir has faced in a couple of fights.
:nono Thrown around like a ragdoll, are you aware you are talking about B-Hop? you sound delusional, he is still physically outstanding and Povetkin is not the world beater you believe him to be. Chad Dawson who is quite faster than Povetkin could barely hit B-Hop a few times to win a decision. Yeah, you are right on one thing, Hopkins would wrestle, clinch, block, hold, grab, headbutt, frustate and counter Povetkin all night long in a shitty fight.
Povetkin had trouble with Huck in a voluntary fight. I don't think Sauerland will risk another fight so close to a big payday.
