i agree with this post, froch is a hungry dog,and tenacious unlike pavlik....hopkins will have to come to froch.....hit and hug 44 year old style....remember pavlik is a true 160 fighter, froch is a true 168 fighter.
Popkin invincible, surely not, but he knows all the trick to beat limited fighter like Froch. If he was able to beat, Tarver, Wright and Pavlik on points, i really dont see how Froch can pull this one.
absolute bull****. taylor had to drain to make 160, he is more than big enough to fight at 168. he looked just as big as froch come fight night.
Untill the tenth round of the Froch fight,same as Lacy was till a feather fisted slapper schooled him.:good
what sort of ******ed comeback is this? oh that butterbean, must have been a blown up cruiserweight considering how **** he was at heavyweight.
, you must be ****** to believe Taylor is a real 168lbs... I was not aware that Butterbean was a cruiserweight before...
this is not a pav hate thread...and no he isnt a joke...but...if you want to discuss aa v. pav, go find a thread on it b/c there are a ton and tell boo and hermit and pipe how u feel
Froch was nervous before the taylor and pascal fight, he aint going to react well to the king of mind games, he might lose the fight before they enter the ring secondly due to froch average work rate, b hop is unlikely to gas like taylor did
agreed...and bhop's style isnt to outwork is opponent anyways...he picks them apart by showing different angles, lateral movement and really just on film prep on how to counter his opponents strengths... i think he would have a field day w/ froch... and if he didnt i would bump this and take my hat off and give credit where it is due
Froch cannot beat Hopkins. Absolutely no chance. And I like Froch, I think he's a cracking smw. I'd much rather he fought Bute or Kessler, and Hopkins fought Adamek - or maybe even Paul Williams!
Very risky fight for Froch if he faces B-Hop in my opinion. If Froch wins everybody will just say B-Hop is now "past it" and if Hopkins wins it will damage Froch's career and resume. Can Froch get over his nerves?? If he takes 7 rounds to get into the fight like he did against Taylor, then B-Hop wins a very lop sided decision. Anybody any idea what weight this fight would take place at?? 172 maybe?
no idea...can't imgine froch would consider going above his weight considering how heavily the cards are stacked against him in the first place
