Makes sense, Hopkins can make 168 & it gives him the chance to win a world title in a 3rd division, don't see it happening though as HBO/TR will offer more money for Chavez Jr & junior has a very big following also.
Hopkins shouldn't move down in weight and Froch, from a business POV and obviously in my opinion, shouldn't want to make that fight.
I think Hopkins could calm the Froch storm and make it messy and close....but I think this fight would stink pretty bad. Hopkins to his credit can make anyone look ****, impressive for his age but I just feel it would be better to match Froch up for a more exciting fight.
