I think this will come down to whether Kovalev's power is that special and whether John David Jackson can neutralize Hopkins' strengths. Kovalev has been knocking guys out left and right with not even fully extended punches. If his power is truly that incredible, Hopkins might wilt. I doubt it though. I'm going with BHOP.
