Hopkins may not be as explosive as Ward, but he has better footwork. So if Kessler and Froch had a hard time making Ward fight on their terms how can they make bhop? Add the size advantage and the fact bhop no longer needs to take of rounds or hold for long periods this could be a cake walk.
Not current Hopkins. Although i'd still give him a good chance against Froch but not Kessler even though I think Froch will stop Kessler in their rematch.
don't think so ! Cloud isn't at kessler & froch levels, period ! if instead Cloud would've been Kovalev and Hopkins would've beat him in the same manner that he beat Cloud, I'd favor Hopkins in beating Kessler and Froch.
Let's not get caught up here, Cloud is nowhere the level of Frochy & Kessler. I think he is the favorite to beat Kessler, but a fight against Froch would be hard for him, specially because Froch has been in with Ward & finished strong, so i think he learned from that fight therefore i doubt that Bhop will come with something, that he hasn't seen before. Froch is an awkward boxer & his style might even cause Bhop problems i think.
I'd love to see Hopkins win a title in the super middleweight division. It would be the icing on the cake for his great career.
Hopkins, GGG and Frochowski 2 .. Those 3 boxers will Ward avoid for the rest of his career .. especially GGG.
Froch may stop him...Kesslar, meh, I don't know what he does because Im afraid he's almost shot. Froch will work, and isn't going to be discouraged, I would favor Froch by a good margin. I think Hopkins could beat current MK.
