    ESB article on this... previous threads have been made...

    Even at his advanced age, i cannot see someone as cagy and seasoned as bhop losing to someone as robotic as froch

    Froch is a fun guy to watch fight and has a huge heart as we saw against jt and i have nothing against him but he won't beat bhop.

    thoughts?

    edited b/c i saw there are other threads...my bad fellas...but still...bhop takes it clean

    He's got balls Froch, he wants the best and biggest fights all the time, but Hopkins is still a class above. Froch is just a Pavlik fight x2.

    i mostly agree with this, but i think froch is a much better fighter then pavlik...yes on paper hopkins should win, but at this stage of his carear any fight he gets into, he could go off the clif because of his age....now that could be his next fight or 3 years from now.

    There's a reason Hops wants to face him!! Unless Nard got old very quickly, Froch's style is made for him!!!

    Credit to Froch though, we need more fighters with his attitude.

    carl froch is a hypocritical **** for even wanting this fight after what he said about calzaghe fighting hopkins.

    hopkins will make him look clueless.

    i think he should, he was called out and it will make $$ and generate interest.

    if froch didnt have a strap then no, bhop wouldnt be wasting his time with him...and i agree w/ you about the jt fight

    the fact that he has a strap makes this a no brainer for bhop...this one is teed right up for him to just swing for the fences

    Don't worry, if he fights hopkins froch will end bernards career.
    Froch KO 12.
    B-hops age shows in this fight and gets stopped late.

    Hopkins will win.

    But it is worth noting that one judge had Froch ahead of Taylor at the time of that stoppage. Froch will score points on pure aggression once more, I promise you.

    I like Froch, but Hopkins will take him to school and back. Think B-Hop - Pavlik all over again. But probably much much worse.
