    Read an article in the Daily Mail saying that if Froch beats Ward a fight against Hopkins at the City Ground in Nottingham could be a possibility. Apparently Hopkins wants to fight in the UK and Froch is looking at becoming a two weight world champion.

    So who wins this? A few fights ago i'd say Hopkins but Froch has shown that since his defeat to Kessler that he is a world class boxer and not just someone who goes to war. I think that Froch would beat him in a tight points decision.

    Ideally Froch fights Kessler and Bute, while Hopkins rematches Dawson. Dawson and Hopkins will most likely duck each other and Froch will want a big payday fight at home.

    Yes. Hopkins would dispute the decision.

    Froch wins a clear uninimous decision on workrate, then Hopkins spends 10 mins after the fight bitching about how he was landing the cleaner harder shots and that he felt he had clearly won.

    because you out box the slow as **** abraham and ancient glen johnson (whilst eating over hand right after over hand right) does not make you a world class boxer

    I would like Froch to KHTFO of Hopkins...:bbb

    To win on points he would have to rip the rounds away from Hopkins and give the judges no chance of a hometown decision...:deal

    Froch on points on workrate and aggression. They're both skilled but I just see Froch doing more and getting the win surprisingly comfortably.

    Would be a real test to see how Froch keeps his discipine when B-Hop starts going into his bag of tricks. The older he gets, the sneakier he becomes

    Froch's fights are always compelling cos he actually wants to fight, whereas hopkins' are boring due to his skullduggery and lack of desire to fight.

    Who wins would depend on who was reffing/judging. All things being equal Froch wins, but in Hopkins twilight world all things are never equal.

    I'm probably one of the few who would back a Hopkins decision but with being in Froch's backyard probably a SD for Froch

    I see Froch beating him, But before that I think he should fight Kessler again.

    Doesnt Kessler have some clause to fight for the WBC belt again due to giving it up due to injury?

    Also, The thread says Hopkins is looking to fight in UK, why will he not come to the UK?
