    Froch could be fighting Hopkins in November as B-Hop is opening to the idea of fighting in England. Could be good for Froch as HBO or Showtime would be interested in showing Froch v Hopkins.

    Sorry mate but I don't see it happening.

    Wrong weight.

    High risk, medium reward.

    HBO or Showtime rarely show UK fights due to timing issues.

    Hopkins would beat him. I'd love to see it happen, B-Hop in Britain would be immense.

    Would be a horrible fight for Froch. Seems like Hearn is really struggling to find a fight for Froch.

    No win situation for Froch, should avoid the fight like the plague

    At this point, I'm actually thinking that Hopkins or Dawson would be the way to go to try to improve his legacy.

    Calzaghe looked like **** against Hopkins. Maybe, just maybe...

    Nobody should ever fight Hopkins, you simply CANNOT win

    If you beat him, he was old and shot to **** (unless you are chad dawson in which case it's a legit win, but if you are British you'll just get the "old" excuse)

    and if you lose, you are a laughing stock like Pascal

    Eddie wouldn't put Froch anywhere near him. Not at the moment, anyway.

    Steer clear of this one. Hopkins will be too slippery IMO. Wont be a great fight to watch IMO.

    Fixed.

    Bad style match up for Froch though, even at this juncture Hopkins would beat him.

    Hopkins would not beat Froch.

    Hopkins is edging further and further over the hill, he'd still give Froch problems, but I'd go with Froch on points.

    Two years ago, Hopkins wins.
