The Krusher should win. Gotta feeling Hopkins will try to get out of the fight as soon as he feels his power

There's a reason why he's 9/4

Kovalev I think will have to much power for Hopkins, Hopkins will make Kovalev look foolish though at times but sooner or later Kovalev will catch him and I don't think Hopkins will be able to keep the pressure of him for long, but if any man can stop Kovalev it is Hopkins, so I'm 70-30 for Kovalev

Kovalev for me, Hopkins is amazing, but this is one fight to far. Respect for taking the fight though as Kovalev is a beast and he could have side stepped him.

Kovalev would finish Hopkins for good IMO

Yep.. Bookies had him at a similar price when he faced Chad Dawson.
Look what happened there though.

Hopkins has undoubtedly the best chin in the division.
Didnt they predict also that Joe would falter with Lacy's power?

How many times has Bhop made excellent fighters look ordinary?

Kovalev is a different Breed, those who have seen this guy Fight and know boxing will vouch for this guy.
He hits so hard that even if you can take a punch he's going to damage your hand eye coordination.

Kovalev has killed a man and seriously hurt many more

Kovalev never killed a man at all.
He beat a man who later collapsed and slipped into a coma.
That man was later pronounced dead.
Had Kovalev actually killed a man in the ring then no authorised commission on the planet would grant him a license.

He injured the man, no doubt.
But it was the lack of Propper medical attention ringside which inevitably ended the 27 yr old mans life.
He collapsed in the ring, was given no oxygen or even a neck brace.
The put him in a sheet and dragged him out of the ring.
Had that fight taken place on a semi decent event in UK or US the guy would still be alive.

He was dragged from the ring within minutes of the end of the fight.
Infact Sergey was still celebrating in the other corner completely unaware of what was going on.

Why bother asking for opinions if you are going to disagree with everyone who says Kovalev.

You've obviously already made your mind up.

If you are so confident I'll bet £100 with you??

Yes bhop does have an excellent chin and yes he has made great fighters look ordinary, that's all down to his style but still he's getting even older and sooner or later the young dog will catch up to him and I believe kovalev is that guy, I take your point on lacy but he was never in same league as kovalev, kovalev is the real deal

What shit you sprouting now?
I am confident.
I have put money on it.
Why the f**k would I gamble money with you considering I've never met you :lol:

I haven't disagreed with anyone who says Kovalev. I have only pointed out what they're saying means little in this sport.
And the one person I did disagree with was the guy who labelled him a killer.

Why does it bother you anyway? Shouldn't you be out organising your next March against Tan?
