Why couldn't a PRIME Kovalev knock out a 50 year old man?

[TitoFan]

Two schools of thought here:

The cynical, "Kovalev couldn't put away the old man so he must be shit" way of thinking....
and the, "Let's give Hopkins credit for showing up in incredible shape as he always does, and withstanding some heavy blows from Kovalev" attitude.

Meh..... I'll choose the latter.

Because Hopkins fought like a black American fighter. Like a bitch. Throwing 12 punches a round. Running away. What a coward. If he was a white man Id shun him but black americans are proud of cowards. Just look at Ali. Too scared to join the army.

you just liked your own lame ass comment....good job, im proud of u

It has to bruise Hopkins more that he was shut out, dominated and flat out boxed by a guy never seeing 'championship' rounds rather than being another early ko victim.

Kovalev boxed his ass off and showed top notch measure. He learned more last night than he had in his previous 6,7,8 fights.

Sir, this post is wrong on several levels!
You should delete it or ask a Mod to delete it. It highlights your lack of knowledge about boxing, US History, and Americans of African descent.

Its purposely offensive. No problem with white fighters being abused purely for being white but as soon as something is said about a black fighter your called a racist.

Purposely offensive! On shit?
Calling a white or black fighter overhyped or a stupid fighter in the ring is an opinion.
Saying all black fighters "fight like a bitch" or all blacks are cowards because Ali refused to be drafted into the Army, as a political statement against the Vietnam War are lies.
Look, I have never liked Ali or his mouth and I know there are black racists just like there are white
racists, but you still carried 'purposely offensive' too far, in my
opinion.

Hopkins is a survivor it's his style, Kovalev put him down in the 1st round the writing was on the
wall, he used his craftiness to see to the end, he was out on his feet with 5 seconds to go in
the last round.
