    He better handle business against Kovalev first. If not, he ain't getting near a ring with Hopkins nor should he. There isn't a thought of this until-if he wins this with his motor skills still intact and Hopkins beats up a mandatory and a assumed Fonfara. On a side note its again great that a cranky old geezer in Hopkins can still piss off his haters by simply waking up in the morning

    I think Fonfara would get picked apart by Hops.. Not Cleverly though. Hops wouldnt even get a breather against this guy.

    I think he has some speed, just not sold on him on a top scale and he doesn't fight the smartest fight. I think the last version of Hopkins I saw could capitalize on some rawness and him actually thinking he's the next Calzaghe.

    Even with tonights fight, I think he just has the style to cause an old man some headaches based solely on output and work ethic. It's obviously never going to happen now.

    Smh. Some people don't understand how styles make fights.

    Hey Adam, your boxing knowledge seems low.

    Coming from you? That's a compliment...

    If you found my opinions agreeable, I would really be worried.

    It's not just about styles, it's about LEVELS you moron.

    A five fight novice can have the right type of style to beat an elite veteran fighter's style... But they still have to be on the same fucking level to pull it off...

    I've said for ages now that Cleverly was a warren manufactured paper champ, not genuinley world class...

    He can have any style he wants. No ammount of having the 'right style' means that he has the calibre to actually perform at that LEVEL though.

    Agree. Yesterday I said that whatever happens against kovalez, cleverly has the style to beat hops and I stand by that statement.

    Some of u other guys are clearly fickle minded. Its about styles
