Hopkins v. Kovalev in Atlantic City if Kovalev Wins this Weekend

Kudos to both, but you really have to respect Hop for fighting the top dogs at his age. Foreman wasn't fighting Bowe, Lewis...etc., n hop is taking on top, undefeated, young fighters almost every time out. I look for him to school Kov, get the fight with Stevenson, and dominate that one as well. Guy is an ATG n top 15 all time if he wins those two at his age.

This is THE fight at 175 for me. It's pretty crazy that Hopkins would take it, no matter how many times we've all said that before. He is 50 and Kovalev is a serious KO puncher. Any other time there has been a matchup like this on paper it has probably been quite pathetic.

I don't buy that Hopkins priced himself out against Stevenson either. I think that goofy piece of shit might just want to defend his title at home, make some money and retire. He would have been a much easier fight for either man imo, the guy is basically a one handed fighter without a great chin and is old himself. He wouldn't have a hope in hell of beating Kovalev or Hopkins, for my money.
