Comments Thread For: Kovalev: Only Strategy is To Kick Bernard Hopkins' Ass

[PunchyPotorff]

It would be interesting for Kov to take BHop into some seriously deep water, and it could very well happen, but the way I see it going down is BHop's usual punch n' grab, grab n' hold, head butt-a-thon boring UD... with the commentators all the while oohh-ing and ahhh-ing about how super human BHop is.

But still... damn wouldn't it be great to watch Kov drop BHop solid once or twice.

[Butt stuff]

Coming from the UK, I followed Cleverly's whole career, not just the fight with Kovalev. Trust me, he was much better than a C class light-heavyweight and has a great chin. At least he did have, till Kovalev cracked it.
I can see the train of thought many of you are following here - Kovalev beat Cleverly easily, so Cleverly must have been a poor champion, and Krusher KOing him doesn't mean a thing.
But nobody has beaten Cleverly except for Kovalev, and nobody had ever floored him before, amateur or pro. So what if Cleverly was actually much better, and tougher, than you guys think he was?
That would make Krusher's blow out win over him a very impressive performance indeed, which is how I look at it. And that's why I think that, if he doesn't get cut, Kovalev will surely beat BHop.

This is true, Cleverly can certainly take a whack. He was sparring Chisora in preparation for the Kovalev fight and said he was certain he could take his power after a full blown heavyweight couldn't hurt him. So **** knows how hard Sergei punches.

The Curse did not claim Jean Pascal. Cloud was exposed after Campillo, Andre Ward is not cursed, he might be getting fights if he goes over to Roc Nation, and David Haye was cursed by Wladimir Klitschko.

However Bernard Hopkins will beat Kovalev with ease, and Kovalev will never be the same.

The "curse" does not only manifests in the ring.

It also manifests through injury, managerial problems and other setbacks that stagnate or derail careers.

Pascal has done fine, If Ward goes to Roc Nation or anywhere else, his curse will be broken.

I aint ducking nothing....Hopkins is going to kick his ass and snatch his belt..no need to duck anything

You're always saying, "Who has Kovalev fought?" whenever people downplay Hopkins's crappy competition lately. Every time I've told you exactly who Kovalev's crushed you disappear and ignore me.

How can Kov take someone into some deep water where he has never been?

Hopkins has simply been collecting and defending belts with the intent to win them all..Kovalev can not be compared to Hopkins period these are just stepping stones for an ATG... no one is bragging about these stones Hopkins is walking on right now..simply the history he is making..yet his stepping stones are suppose to be great for others???lol Hopkins is a certified Hall of famer and ATG...just finishing his masterpiece..Kovalev is simply another stone

bhop is too old, he may try to find a way out once kova starts letting his power shots go.


dude is damn near 50, he shouldve retire on top.
