    I think this will come down to whether Kovalev's power is that special and whether John David Jackson can neutralize Hopkins' strengths. Kovalev has been knocking guys out left and right with not even fully extended punches. If his power is truly that incredible, Hopkins might wilt. I doubt it though. I'm going with BHOP.

    Mercado put him down twice in their fight in Ecuador.

    Pascal also put him down twice.



    Dawson put him down in their first fight.

    Yes he goes down in the fight, twice and before that was 1994 according to the commentary. It wasn't a heavy knockdown it was behind the head the shot that landed for the first

    No drug testing before this Hopkins fight. Seems to be the norm for him...

    Just watched it. I can't help but like kovalev. I think that he is the real deal and think that this is the end of bhop. Kovalev is such a beast. Bhop will only be able to take his punches so many times even if they aren't landing cleanly.
