Imagine if a man of nearly 50 years of age beat Froch.... The thought is too crazy to even comprehend!
He absolutely would. I think somebody like Bute would pose far more trouble for Hopkins, who is still very much capable of outboxing and outmaneuvering slow, plodding, defensively-inept punchers.
This fight needs to happen Bhop is a legend in the game. Fighting him would be an honour on anyone's resume
Froch is no Tavoris Cloud. He would stand a great chance of beating BHOP. He won't let Bernard dictate the pace and will take plenty of risks to get the job done. Tough fight for BHOP.
Froch doesn't win many fights on paper; he's too stiff, too slow, has a terrible defence etc. In the ring, it rarely works out that way. Incidentally, I've no desire whatsoever to see this fight. I can't think of an uglier styles clash. It would be borderline unwatchable.
