I dislike when spectators use this crooked logic in a flawed attempt to forecast the outcome of a fight. Listen up.... It don't work, and is less than meaningless to use how they faired with common opponents. Here's an example; Trinidad hurt Joppy with both left hooks and right hands, to the point Joppy was out on his feet and shortly after, lost by KO. Using the screwy logic of these silly spectators, since Hopkins was unable to KO Joppy or completely destroy him like Trinidad, Hopkins would very likely not stand a chance against Trinidad. We know that wasn't the case and this kind of beetle Baily false logic just don't work.:deal
Same with Pavlik beat up on Taylor twice and Taylor beat Hopkins twice. So naturally, Pavlik would just kick Hopkins ass. Whoops.
at this moment in time i have to go with froch but if this happened around the time of the Trinidad fight its hopkins all day
Hopkins on pts ..I don't see Froch's work rate being that of Calzaghe's .It be a technical match where Hopkins has the edge ..It be a hell of a scrap but it be a split decision ..
I'm flirting between a very close decision by Froch or a KO by Froch. Reason being Hopkins was wobbled 2 or 4 times during the Pascal fights and I believe at 175 Froch's power would dwarf that of Pascal.
