    Is it fair to say a 50 year old boxer is ducking?

    Hopkins has so much experience it would be great seeing how he tried to break him down.

    Yea its fair to call it a duck because age has nothing to do with this. He's still performing at a top level and if your are going to boast about beating these young fighters, then he should face the best young guns.

    So he's supposed to get special treatment and a pass because he's 50?

    stupidity to suggest he's the same fighter at 50 as he was 20 years ago

    Nobody suggested anything except for hopkins himself. He says he's more fresh and better than most 26 year olds.

    If you are a pro fighting at the elite level, special treatments don't apply. If he doest face the best of his division, yes it is a duck.

    I think Kovalev-Stevenson would be a better, more money making fight.

    I would think hopkins will fight anyone if the money was right especialy at this stage of his career... but the money has to be good, I think he would need to make 7 figures and i am not sure he would get that , although i reallyhave no idea how famous kovalev is in america... but surely the russian angle will bring in more cash

    Before the fight you started a thread that Cleverly would beat Bhop then after he gets KOd you start a thread that Bhop will duck Kovalev. Seems like you just dislike Bhop. Thats fine but just state that instead of guaranteeing something without merit. Regardless of who you believe will win I don't think you're going to get a lot of people agreeing that Bhop is afraid of anyone or has ever been a ducking type fighter. What history are you going by? Clearly this is just your opinion since you don't know the guy personally to have some kind of inside stuff. He has taken on many guys who had a real chance or were projected to knock him out...Trinidad, Taylor, Kelly, Tarver, Cloud, and called out Froch. He is definitely not a ducker. But maybe you're just throwing this idea out there so if the fight doesn't get made for whatever reason you started this thought in people's minds like its Bhop's fault. Personal agenda trickery.

    I'm sure after a high profile loss to Cleverly , Hopkins will be in a rush to reclaim glory and fight him.

    Really, Hopkins don't do duck. Make it make Cents and its a go. And I said it prior to tonight's fight...i think Kovalev beats him up.

    No finito, i see what your saying.

    I would love to see hopkins fight this guy but it wont surprise me if he doesnt.

    Hopkins wants big paydays with less risk (like all fighters) but especially at this stage of his career.

    Plus, lets not get carried away with the cleverly win.
    Hopkins experience is truly overwhelming and he can dictate things to his pace.
