It would be a crap spectacle and I don't want to see it. Hopkins wouldn't be able to KO Froch, and he would be scared of Froch's power. Thus he would be in his shell for the whole fight, and win a boring UD.

Froch should fight Pavlik, or Kessler.
i dont think hopkins would be scared of frochs power at all - hopkins has a great chin and has talked about going up to face adamek so power doesn't faze him. froch though could well be the hardest puncher that hopkins will face.
i can see the fight happening from froch's viewpoint a win over hopkins and he defeats a HOF'er, gains a respectable name on his resume and recognitions from the american audience, a KO win and he manages to do something calzaghe couldn't and adds further fuel to the fire that maybe joe did duck froch (not that i believe that but this is what froch will think).
for hopkins - a win over froch and he is a 3 weight divisional champ, he can say he beat the next big thing from the UK (froch) as well as beating the next big thing from the US (pavlik), a big payday, no doubt hopkins would outclass froch, he can say that he beat another man who beat taylor, and that he beat calzaghes heir apparent.
the number one reason why froch might be facing hopkins is because of hopkins pride. if froch had not defeated taylor i think the fight would probably not be made but fighters like hopkins and mosley are proud men. in the same way that mosley pursued his conqueror's (cotto) conqueror (mosley) hopkins might do the same thing.
