Hopkins would school froch, hopkins on points all day long. Froch knows this thats why hes ducking hopkins. Froch "i want to fight in vegas" Hopkins "ok ill fight u in vegas" Froch "um no thank you i only want fighters i can beat" Hopkins "smh"
FROCH WILL BE KO'D possibly. Could see him running into something hopkins sets up. I want to see this fight so badly. I wanted to see this before I saw the Kovalev fight. I think Froch is perfect for bhop.
Oh come on. Hopkins doesn't KO anyone. Dropped maybe but the ultra cagey hopkins would never open enough to stop froch. Hopkins could not stop past prime jones. Froch still has a very good chin.
I would like to see that fight, but I would rather see Froch fight Chavez or SOB Ward in the UK...................that fight would sell a record number of tickets.....................
:deal At last a sensible post. When I saw the thread title I thought " is Hopkins gonna bring some toy soldiers with him " War my ass.
Well lets see how he gets on in England then where he can't take his crooked Murican judges with him like he did in Ecuador. Another ****er like Jones, doesn't want to fight outside of his poxy country. 2 across the border, and a gifted draw in South America.
If this fight gets made people will be surprised how easy Hop makes it look. Froch is stylistically made for Hop. Ten rounds to two in favor of Hop.
As long as BHop isn't shot I see a schooling like the Pavlik fight but with a stronger finish from Froch as Hopkins tires. Hopkins won't go to war but he may throw more than usual as Froch is such an easy target to hit. But Hopkins won't put a dent in Froch and be forced to hold on late as Froch, as always, finishes strongly.
Hopkins can make it a very ugly fight but at this point in time I feel he is all "smoke and mirrors" and will lose to just about any fighter on the championship level, even with the multiple belts per division we have nowadays.
What war has Hopkins ever been in? Dude's 50. You don't have the stamina or speed for that kind of thing at that age. He's been hugging and grabbing for years. That's like expecting Mayweather or Andre Ward to have a war with someone. The way you produce a war is you find to guys who have already been in wars and put them in the ring together. That's how we got Gatti/Ward or Rios/Alvarado. Matthysse and Provodnikov have both been in wars, so you can expect firework in that fight.
And look at his last few opponents. A part timer in shumenov and KO victim of nathan cleverly. atsch Think froch should beat him.
Bad style for Froch. Nard loves guys who need to get set, and if there's a fighter that needs to get set it's Carl Froch. Kovalev was able to throw alot of punches from the arm, but Kov has the unique ability to generate good pop from his elbows. Froch will follow Bernie around all night while coming up short.
