Hopkins vs TBA: Feb 23 Showtime

How many people ever 'enjoyed' Hopkins on here?

 

:-(

 

I wish Bernard fights someone relevant who can lead him to other scenarios and another big fight at 175 pounds, not Cleverly, possibly Tavouris and or even Beibut.

 

This so ****ing much. I have ZERO interest. Go away Bernard. I loved watching you in your prime and versus Pavlik. But watching you clinch, hold and rabbit punch is ****ing destroying you.

 

Hopkins needs to retire/go away. Terrible style. Carlos Molina has the same style but at least he's not 50.

 

Who else thinks Hopkins outclasses Froch even today? Hope Hopkins fights one more time to go out on a good note.

 

Agreed, Hopkins should have retired after beating Pascal. As SJS said, he's offensively shot

 

I think he's well and truly done-for. But, if not, Niko bless.

I thought that in 2008.

 

I think he can beat Froch today. Froch's style is perfect for Hopkins. A guy who is slow and somewhat predictable. The type of guy Hopkins can just circle and control with his range and do the occassional lead right, lunge in and hold tactic. Land a few right hands every round and prevent Froch from landing anything and he's got a great shot at pulling out a win. Froch doesn't have the type of style to make Hopkins uncomfortable or make him work harder than he wants too.
