    If Bernard wants to poach another zero off an undefeated guy, let's do it.

    Froch is way too slow to catch Hopkins. Now he can certainly take some rounds on pure activity alone but at 170, Hopkins has a field day. He seems unnaturally comfortable that weight.

    Right anybody with Calzaghe, Tarver, Pavlik, Taylor, Wright, Jones Jr, Tito, Oscar to name a few has the right to pick and choose who he wants to beat up on.

    This fight would be ideal for Hopkins!!!!!

    Froch is looking to fight anyone and everyone. (according to various reports)

    His promoter wants him to take a rest, but I don't see him doing that.
    If Bernard comes to fight in the UK, I only hope that the American fans come to support him cause he's awesome.

    And when he beats him, then maybe froch will realise that Calzaghe isn't fighting him because there is no point.

    Bhop v Chad Dawson Thats a good idea.

    I am a big Froch fan and I am worried he will take this because he's got balls of steel, I think Bhop is too much for him ATM, but you never know this is boxing after all, and anything could happen!

    I agree, Hopkins' cherrypicking is an insult to the proud recent traditions of the light heavyweight division ;)

    Another hand picked opponent that meshes with BHOP's style well.

    Very carefully crafted run BHOP is on.Instead of fighting all comers(KEEP DUCKING DAWSON).

    I noticed the same thing. Apparently beating the guys who beat up on Taylor is the best substitute for not beating Taylor himself. :lol:

    Even the Nard that showed up against JOE C is good enough to beat Carl.

    I will agree with you on the last part! Kessler needs to fight Bute next to make noise.. or maybe Froch! Clean out the 168 top first, thats my opinion too!
    But i didn`t say Calz WOULD put his gloves on if Hopkins beat Kessler, i said it could happend! I do still believe Hopkins would gain just as much by beating Kessler as when he beat Pavlik! seen in light of that Kessler is a better version of Pavlik.. just with out the 2xTaylor victory on his record!

    If the BHOP that fought Pavlik shows up then it'll b fun to watch bcuz Froch has a great chin and is a huge SMW with great stamina. BHOP would outland the endless power fury of Carl Froch.

    Carl's workrate would trouble BHOP, but the aged warrior still has some fuel left. Joe C had the right style to defeat Bernard: pitty-pat with flurries to hold the rd vs few solid shots from Hopkins...workrate and sometimes ineffective aggression...Joe did his thing. BHOP in his prime would of been more interesting. Anyhow, if Froch wins convincingly, much more than Joe and JT, then a star is born. The JT win got him some publicity, but The Executioner would excel his name to another degree of relativity. Make the fight Hennessy and GBP!! Well, maybe Hennessy isn't working with Carl Froch. Damn, I'm American from San Francisco, CA, what do I know about beautiful Europe?

    Carl Froch did to JT what Kelly Pavlik done already in earlier fashion; take Jermain's heat early and come back with your own guns and win. I'd say a 12 rd decision in favor of Hopkins.
