    I highly doubt Hopkins will be coming back down to 168lbs.

    Hop cant fight for a full 12 rounds anymore and has lost a step. Couple of years ago though he would've beaten Froch comfortably.

    Unlike Kofaloff Froch won't be scared to finish the job! Froch will pummel gramps into submission by round 6

    Froch has the stamina and work rate to beat old Hopkins

    Providing the Kovalev defeat hasnt taken too much out of Hopkins (which it may have), I wouldnt be shocked if Hopkins clearly out points Froch

    Would take the UKs best H2H 168er to beat a guy as good as Hopkins

    Froch would be the first to stop old Bernard.

    hops been beatable for several years now due to ageing stamina.

    froch isn't going to outskill any Hopkins, but Bernie will tire, wont keep pace if froch is smart enough to push him, and the loss for hops is then inevitable.

    however froch may also stop 40something Bernard, something that ko4clev was too respectful too do, that Dawson wasn't predatory enough to do and that Calzaghe was too weak and unskilled to do even though he was not restricted to being dignified.

    Right, and once he loses it's because he's "old". Same old same old with you guys.

    Well Froch beats Kovalev so he will have no troubles at all with Hopkins, a few years ago it would have been a good fight but now it is a comfortable win

    I disagree. it's just not that simple. for example, old or not, there's no version of BHOP that beats Kovalev. However, Froch is far from that.

    yet he loses regularly when hes old, and not before.

    completely disproving your post.

    so why did you say that? why the lie?
