    Who would win? Kovalev's best win vs Ward's best win.

    BHop can fight the fight George Groves did in the first fight and outbox him for the entire 12 rounds. If Krusher can't KO BHop, then neither can Froch. UD BHop.

    Hopkins doesn't have anything close to the power to get Froch's respect like Groves did. Froch UD, possibly late TKO

    Also... Kovalev could have KO'd Hopkins but his worries over his own chin and stamina made him fight cautiously and at a conservative pace. Froch wouldn't be worried about getting tagged by Bernard, or about his conditioning over 12

    bhop by about 3 rounds, as froch will come back strong late.

    Hopkins.

    Froch aint nowhere near as fast as Kovalev and neither does he fight at that pace, so this would give Hopkins more time/space to think.

    Plus Froch is always open for a good right hand

    A 49 year old Hopkins who didnt win a single round in his last fight somehow beats a prime froch? Haha what? You're all crazy!

    How??

    Froch would clearly outwork and out point Hopkins and there would be no way of Bhop knocking him out. A younger Hopkins would out skill froch but I think you're all forgetting how good froch was at 31

    Stop being so biased!

    Froch is a Super Middleweight. Hopkins is a Light Heavyweight.

    No pick here is remotely ridiculous unless you are picking a stoppage from either.

    There was a time once Froch refused to get into the ring with Hopkins.
