I cant wait for this fight, this fight above any that have been confirmed for the rest of the year has most of my attention.

Agreed. Kudos to both guys who easily could have avoided each other and feasted on weaker competition. Hop is one of those fighters who will be ranked higher historically once he retires and people look at his body of work. The guy is a phenom and has accomplished numerous historical feats. Guys like a Roy, Manny and Floyd are more talented, but in my opinion Hop, at this point, has faced tougher competition than a Roy and Floyd and has more amazing accomplishments than Manny.

i am so excited for this fight. this is the first guy that i can ever remember saying will destroy bhop. i have bet against bhop before, but not this big. im very interested to see what actually happens.

Hopkins finally getting the respect he deserves for fighting a dangerous and powerful fighter like Kovolev. This is the fight of the year after Sergio v Cotton ended up as a one way beating.

Without meaning to be a miserable bastard - I don't see how this can be a good fight, good matchup, yes, but not good fight. Hopkins is either gonna get smashed to bits - 50 year old man - or he will make it the mother of all dirty/scrappy/foulfest/awful to watch fights.

Actually... the second scenario is quite intriguing.

This will be an intriguing fight to see how it unfolds, that is why it will be a good watch.

Hop doesn't make ugly fights with straight ahead, strong punchers, he uses those tactics against fast, speedy, high volume guys. Hops best fights are always against big, strong punchers who try to walk him down. Think of his fights vs Pavilik, Tito, Cloud...etc. Hop prefers a guy who attacks and moves in straight lines forward n backwards. This will be an entertaining fight.

Brother Naz is the man. Great trainer and a no BS type of man. He and Hop are a great team, but I do have to admit I miss seeing Bouie Fisher in the corner with them.

Historically these are the kinds of fighter that Hopkins has a field day with, but you have to wonder when Hopkins will suddenly reach the end of his rope.

Amazing to think that Bhop was just fresh out of prison and starting his career when Kovalev was 5 years old.

Yeah, Hopkins is amazing, but I still want to see him get his ass beat. Sorry, I'm just not a good person, I reckon. Come on Kovalev, beat the crap out of that old fucker, so I can laugh my ass off.

Sincerely,
A really old fucker, beenKOed!
