    Hopkins would need to spoil and keep the pace low to beat Kovalev or Stevenson, while those two against each other is pretty much guaranteed to be an explosive fight. Why would anyone not want to see that first?

    50 is the magic number. If Bernard can win or defend the title against a respectable opponent at the age of 50 then my God he's done the unthinkable.

    What's the deal with two wba champions? Thinks should Hopkins win they mandate he fights a Jurgen Brahmer(?) for full recognition or risk strip before he thinks about a Kovalev etc

    What's the deal with ovaltine? The box is round, the glass is round. They should call it roundtine.

    Finito is losing it, this is a good move from B hop. This will force Stevenson and Kovalev to fight one another to have the honour of facing Hopkins.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    I disagree. I think Kovalev is exactly who Hop would want to fight. I think Ward n maybe Stevenson r two guys he would rather avoid due to their movement n Hops deteriorating reflexes n stamina. Kovalev is a HUGE puncher who walks u down with slow, steady pressure n catches I with the big shot. Hop has a ton of ring generalship, phenomenal defense, equally phenomenal chin, n above average hand speed. He will school Kivalev, who will be looking for the knockout shot only to find himself exhausted n holding on trying to survive to the end. Also, while Hops fights vs slick, fast boxers r boring n hard to watch, his fights vs aggressive power punchers like Tito, Joe Lipsey, Pascal, Pavilik, and Cloud r entertaining. Hop makes the cute guys fight ugly n he fights the knockout artists like a cutie. Hop is a true throwback n ATG fighter.
