I wouldn't mind Hopkins getting paid but wouldn't that screw up the super middleweight division? Surely Froch will have to move up and if he looks good doing so against Hopkins he sure as hell won't be moving down again.
The Hopkins fight is intriguing for me, I think Hopkins gets stopped late as he can't live with the workrate of Froch for 12 rounds, either that or he spends large portions of the fight attempting to buy time outs.
Yeah.....considering hes making a million dollars a fight and will only make more in the future, I dont see that happening somehow.
I want to see Froch fight and beat Hopkins. Hopkins is handpicking too much and fighting mediocre guys. I think Froch can edge him if he stays busy.
The Hop fight isnt a bad shouy. Id def pick a younger Hop to ouy fox Carl but at 48 im not sure. i wajt froch kessler III at 175 so if groch picks a belt up there iy would set it up nicely.
Neither. Froch could earn great money fighting undefeated George Groves. And as Groves was Kesslers sparring partner it would be a bitter war. Old vs Young, Brit vs Brit, Champ against undefeated prospect. It will sell for those reasons, and if memory serves me Bute still has a rematch ( not that it would be different to the first lol )
In this order Hopkins (move up 175) GGG (GGG moving up to 168lbs) Cleverly (move up 175) Kessler 3 Ward 2 Groves HM: Dawson, Dirrell 2
I honestly don't see why anyone wants to see a Ward rematch. The fight could be on Pluto and Ward would still outclass Froch. At least with Hopkins, there is an air of vulnerability given Hopkin's age.
B-Hop!!! Ward already schooled and defeated Froch easily and it won't be different if they fight in the UK except the judges robbing Ward.
