I like Froch but claims that he would murder BHOP are ridiculous. Froch would be so open to the counter right hand its unreal. Froch has good workrate but his open style would be EXPOSED by Hopkins. BHOP aint no ****ing Arthur Abraham.
Tough fight to call... Hopkins would hit - rush in - hold a lot. Frochs power would definitely gain Bernards respect. To me its a close fight that could go either way.
Froch fans should be glad this didnt take place back in 2008/9. The cobra would have been executed. B-Hops style is all too wrong for him.
I really dislike Froch but I have to say that I think he would give Hopkins a lot of problems. But, it would be far from murderous. Froch is big and aggressive. I think the problem with Pascal is that he was too content to box on the outside. I think with Hopkins at this point in his career, you really have to brawl with the old man. Take some shots to give some shots. Beat him on his body and make it a physical fight. If you engage Hopkins in a boxing exhibition then he will pick you apart all night. Froch might have the right style for him...though I think Bute has an even better one!
Froch has the stamina to outwork Hopkins. But there is a problem, if you get hit every time you throw something you stop throwing. Hopkins lands at a murderous % on him and sees his punches from a mile away.
atsch this forum really does make me laugh! Your all so biased when a fighter has just fort, this is just the honey moon period after a fight... it will wear off.... think about it logically. Amir khan (after maidana).... oh he would beat mayweather now! Carl Froch (after abraham) he will clean up the super six! Pacman (after margarito)... would destroy mayweather! Mayweather (after mosley).... would own pacquiao! (im not including you all.... just giving examples of the extreme bias after a fighter has just fort) Froch would be too strong and too fit for BHOP.. everybody knows hopkins doesnt like a fast pace... pascal played right into hopkin's hands... froch would keep jabbing and would fully utilise his skills at range. Froch would also be having none of hopkins inside tactics either. His trainer Robert McCracken would set froch a gameplan up, and he will stick to, after last fight he has realised how much easier he can make fights for himself if he just utilises his amateur pedigree and boxes You honestly think hopkins can outpoint froch? You think he can knock froch out? Highly unlikley! Pascal is a brawler! has very limited boxing skills and has stamina issues... quite frankly he cant cope with an oppent that boxes, froch could of made there fight a whole lot easier for himself when they fort. however you have to remember styles make fights... and bhop was COMPLETLEY wrong for pascal and he should stay well away from him if he wants to keep his belts. my honest prediction froch UD
