Let's look at some of the guys who have outboxed Froch;

Dirrell
Kessler
Ward
Groves
Taylor

Look at Hopkin's career. The key to beating him is speed and athleticism. Please show me anyone who has beaten him who doesn't have those characteristics. Speed and athleticism are two things Froch certainly doesn't possess. Froch is also all wrong technically. Sure, Froch has been outboxed before only to rally and score a KO. However, what are the chances of him doing that to Hopkins? Froch's lack of footwork, footspeed, and hand speed would allow Hopkins to pick his ass a part and cut down his work rate. Froch is also no match on the inside against Hopkins as well.

Considering how lost Froch looked against Ward, I think he would have a hard time beating Hopkins. I'm not saying Hopkins is better than Ward at this point. However, Hopkins can present many of he issues that Ward did; issues Froch had seemingly no answers for.

it's not speed that beats hopkins it's workrate at this stage
