September 5th word is vs Bute or Hopkins. i think Hopkins would beat him. him and bute would be great
i want to see hopkins-froch....i beleive froch is better then pavlik, stylistically speaking, i still think hopkins win, but even a respectable loss to hopkins will do wonders for his carear....and if he pulled off the upset he is a superstar.....bute has unfinished business with andrade.
Its good news that he's constantly demande hard fights for himself where each time theres a distinct possiblity he loses. He deserves respect for this.
I'll bash Hopkins if he choose to fight Froch instead of Dawson. Froch ain't well known in the state while Dawson is. Many say "Hopkins could fight Froch to land a Calzaghe fight if the fight vs Froch happen in england" <<Well Froch is moving to canada i believe so it won't work for Hopkins. Hopkins needs to stop with this crap and fight Dawson for god sake.
Hopkins ain't KO'ing anyone at this stage of his career. Hopkins last KO was against Oscar 5 years ago, and we all know that DLH took a dive in that fight. He couldn't KO Pavlik and I would consider Froch as having much greater punch resistance than Kelly. Bernard by wide UD all the way. This is easy money. No other outcome if this fight gets made.
i think hopkins-froch has a better chance to happen then does bute-froch.....bute is a ***** if he doesnt re-match andrade.
He hurt Pavlik badly numerous times and nearly had him out at some points in that fight. Froch's chin isn't as good as people claim it is, the guy was literally out as warly as the 3rd round against Taylor though Taylor didn't follow up when Froch was clearly gone even after getting up. I'll stick with Hopkins by KO but a UD sounds reasonable.
Pavlik is a MW he was on ***** street against JT at MW, JT couldn't seriously hurt Froch at SMW, although he put him on his arse. Think about it and draw your own conclusions about the absolute comparison of chins between Pavlik and Froch.
Disagree with how badly hurt Froch was. You can see when he's on his behind he has his full wits and smart enough to take an 8 count even though he's never been on the floor before, amateur or pro. Afterwards he was in a state of shock and fear 'Jesus Christ I've been knocked down!' and was very gunshy. However, I do agree Hopkins would likely stop him late as Froch's terrible defence would give BHop far more openings than he got from Pavlik.
