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.
