If my memory is still intact , Froch was clearly dominated in his fight with Ward .

It doesnt serve you correctly at all. Sounds like you have been caught up in hype and should try watching the fight without the volume

Its safe to say Those 2 judges who had Froch winning 5 rnds were feeling very generous that night .

they were being non bias. I saw the same fight

Now Froch/Kessler on the other hand was a razor close fight that Kessler could have easily lost . There could be an argument made for either fighter winning

I thought Kessler won, but it was a good close fight

What the **** are you going on about? I am pretty sure about 99% of the fans on here think that Ward easily outboxes Bhop so i do no think anyone fears that.

Yet they dont want to see that fight and talks were of Ward fighting Cloud who wasnt even favoured to beat Hopkins in Boxing News.
So if the thread title is correct, why would Hopkins not want to face the top SMW? It seems people on here seem worried about the thought.

Fighting froch makes more sense because it is a whole let less risk for much more reward. Bhop is a smart guy and sees Froch as an easy payday.

No arguement

Froch has very limited skills and Carl cannot bum rush Bhop like he did Bute.

What you do seem to imply is that Hopkins is cherry picking

Kinda makes you wonder why Calslappy ducked the young bull Froch and fought Roy "ready for the glue factory" Jones. I guess after Joe knew he lost to Bhop he did not want to risk his 0.

Where was Froch when Calzaghe was fighting Jones?
I remember, he was an unknown outside the UK, British champ who hadnt beaten anyone of note and wasnt as big a fight as Jones, not as much money as Jones and not considered as much of a threat as Jones, in a lower division and didnt win a title until after Calzaghe had fought Jones, once again in a different division.
In fact Jones was faster, harder hitting than Froch and with better foot speed

I figured you would realize you can't have a rational discussion with Failey.

Ward had a close decision against Froch....Jones was up on one card against Lebedev so he's not shot.....the dude is bias incarnate.

Tell me which parts are not true.
was Jones ahead on one card against Lebedev?
Had Lebedev just taken a CW world champ to a SD in his previous fight?
Did 2 of the judges score a close fight in the Ward/Froch fight.

Please point out what is incorrect or untrue. This will be good
