Froch vs Hopkins

4 years ago Hopkins would have be an absolute nightmare for Froch.

now, though, Froch dusts Hopkins off and stops him late. Hopkins needs to stay the hell away from Froch, Kessler and Cleverly.

 

Froch really poses no threat to B-hop. Guys with fast paces and
high output do. I think Clev would have a better shot to beat
bernie than plodding Froch.

 

Froch is scrappy and tenacious so he is sort of a threat, but I fully expect Hopkins to circle and clown him. Froch is too slow of foot and too predictable in his offense for someone like Hopkins.

 

Hate to be that guy, but Pascal wobbled Hopkins many times in both of their bouts. I don't think it's a stretch to say Froch could stop him when Hopkins is what, 3 years older now?

 

Hopkins schools Froch, even at 48 or 49. A prime Hopkins wins every single round in convincing fashion. It'd be embarrassing.

 

I think Froch wins a UD.

 

Yeah I can't see Hopkins beating Froch. Froch's reach and hand speed would overwhelm Hopkins much like Calzaghe's high output did, and moreso now with the current version of Hopkins.

Hopkins might duck and dodge his way through 12 rounds and avoid being stopped, but it would likely be a one sided decision. Then again, you never know, it's Hopkins. He could turn back the clock again and put on a performance like he did in the 2nd Pascal fight, which was brilliant, but that was really the only Hopkins fight that was truly impressive since his win over Pavlik. (not to take anything away from the simple fact that he is boxing at such an advanced age)

 

i dont think ho is fresh eniugh. itd have to be a light heavy fight. id hate to seehim drop too much weight at his age. style wie hop is a nuggtmare for Froch.

 

Only way Froch beats Hopkins is against a totally shot Hopkins.

I can't see how Froch will deal with Hopkins movement, he will get out boxed over 12 rounds and I can't see Hopkins getting stopped anytime soon. Froch has heavy hands but tends to grind guys down rather than have the 1 shot power to turn fights his way and I can't see anyone let alone Froch being able to land regularly enough to grind the old man down.

Froch simply doesn't have the style or tools to beat Hopkins.

 

Hopkins/Froch could actually come off next.

Froch in a very easy win. no doubt about it.

 

Are you smoking crack b-hop beats his ass

 

He'd lose now.
