I would favour Hopkins in this fight due to his style to win. I think he would neutralize Froch, use the head, hit low and hold. I dontb think Froch would be able to get his punches off with Hopkins holding close to him and think it would be Hopkins working him over up close
ye, im not crediting froch here, i just dont see hopkins as that good anymore. i mean he looked great vs pavlik, but vs calzaghe and jones he did look quite old. i wouldnt give froch much credit for beating hopkins. especially since they dont compete in the same division. i mean someone like dawson, pascal, cloud ye cos b-hop(inexplicably IMO) is seen as a top class lhw. if froch moved up and beat him i wouldnt be the least bit shocked. it could set up as a pre-cursor to froch-pascal 2, but it wouldnt overly do froch any favours. like i said i see froch having every advantage bar experience, and obviously timing. a wide froch ud should take place if this fight ever comes off.
i seriously hope the bookies are as favourable in their opinions cos i would bet the house on froch beating b-hop anypoint from today.
