    yes , bhop vs froch , who wins and why ?

    at 175 , frochs a big guy , pav moved up to fight hopkins so its not inconceivable that froch would move up too .

    im deadly serious about this guys .









    p.s. i want to thank someguy101
    for the "deadly serious " quote

    I used to write Froch off quite alot, but I dunno anymore.. despite his apparent lack of finesse he has proven time and time again that he can find a way to win or at least be highly competitive with the big boys. I'd take Froch by late TKO.

    Froch's hands low defence would make it all too easy for old man Bernard to tag him to a 12 round decision.

    hopkins wins this the same way he beat howard eastman, froch's wild swinging bombs miss the target all night!

    If you're an elite fighter and can outwork Hopkins then you're pretty much gonna give Bernard a lot of problems at this juncture. I still think Hopkins with his lead rights, pivots and liver fellow up would take a close decision because no one is knocking Hopkins out, but i have it much closer then i did only a year ago in which Hopkins would've treated him like Pavlik and KO'd him.

    Just depends what Hopkins has left (which didn't look much vs. the shadow of Roy Jones) plus Froch's determination and will can not be discounted.

    id love to see this fight , great analysis man thanks
    i think frochs aggresiveness would make it interesting , but i like you would lean towards b hop , but its a pickem fight , if you ask me this is the way hopkins should cash out , and if the fight wqas in england , really cash out

    Even at this very late stage in his boxing life i think hopkins would take it

    I doubt it. at his age i am writing hopkins off vs any top class fighter from 168-175 bar johnson.

    i just cant see hopkins doing enough over 12 rounds vs froch. imo froch will be bigger, faster and fitter than b-hop.

    wide ud for froch. i know hopkins always upsets the odds, but this would be one fight too far.

    very good post

    for me father time will be froch's best weapon in deciding the result
