Who wins?

Damn, don't know who wins, maybe Ward pulls it out through his youth and speed.

I think Ward,Froch & Dawson are the only guys capable of beating B-Hop anywhere between 168-175.But with that said Hopkins is also capable of beating them.60/40 in favor of the younger guys.

Froch gets whooped by Hopkins easy. Dawson would be a tough fight but Bernard would rough him up and win. Ward is my opinion is Hopkins hardest fight to win by decision.

[Evil Abed]

It would be like Darth Vader vs Luke Skywalker.

Can SOB defeat his father?

I don't know.

I don't know bout the bold.Looking at that matchup as unbiased as possible.Carl Froch doesn't lack stamina.He starts fast & finishes fast.B-Hop usually starts slow & finishes fast.If Froch gets ahead on points,(which I think he will),B-Hop is gonna have a hard time catching him & passing him.

Hopkins lose a decision to Ward and Froch. Those 2 guys fight 12 rounds and are mentally tough. Dawson takes rounds off, a mental midget and fades later in fights. Thats Hopkins best chance

Hopkins has been headbutting far longer than Ward
I think he could get a massively one-sided split decision.

I don't think Froch gets WHOOPED by Hopkins but I absolutely think Hopkins wins that fight by UD. If it wasn't for Hopkins starting so damn slow like BushBaby mentioned then I don't think it would be particularly close. I don't know man for some reason I am having a really hard time getting on this Carl Froch train. I'm not sure if it's just the style that he fights or that I haven't been really impressed with any of his wins, but I'm just not sold yet. I do give the guy credit though he has absolutely taken care of business when he's needed to. The Pascal victory would've been much more impressive for me if it was not in Nottingham. I think Andrew Ward is going to take him to school if he gets past Glenn Johnson and I think he's in for hell against Johnson so who knows.

Sorry to get off track there a little with the Froch tirade. I think Ward beats Hopkins by SD simply because I think Ward banks 3-5 early rounds and has enough stamina/youth/ring IQ to hold on in the end. I think Hopkins beats Dawson by a close decision in a very competitive and tough to score fight.
