Comments Thread For: Bernard Hopkins-Carl Froch Rumblings Behind The Scenes

A no-win fight for Froch. Would the payday even be that good? Doubt it even makes PPV....

No way it will be.... in the US at least

Don't want to see it, what does Froch have to gain?

LMAO...wow, Froch will fight Hopkins and get schooled by a 50 year old man and retire on a loss......don't do it Froch, don't do it.

The only chance Hopkins has is if Froch decides to throw no more than three punches a round.

Guys, BHOP was figured out years ago. His longevity says more about the standard of fighters and trainers today than any great talent.

I'll remind everyone of his performances against Jermain Taylor. Back then he was considered "shot". But I'll give him credit for being a good (not great) technician who rarely picks an opponent should the risk of danger be too great.

I'm not suggesting that Froch is ATG, either. But he's a sufficiently busy fighter with hard hands and superb fitness. Provided he sets the pace he can't lose, IMO. If he's dumb enough to play straight into Hopkins' hands and throw punches through the mail - he deserves to lose.

Hopkins is a tremendous inside fighter, Froch....not so much. If BHOP shrinks the ring, Froch is getting worked over.

I never saw Hopkins get dominated before Kovalev. I wish he'd hang it up. He has nothing left to prove.

Hopkins will retire as the 168 champ

Truly amazing

:wank:

Chavez is a poosy. He is officially off my team. **** him. All talk, no show.

[Sancho Puncho]

This would be great fight for Bernard as a fighter and as a Golden Boy promoter.
As a fighter, he gets the chance to conquer another division and immediately brush off the loss to Kovalev. If Hopkins wins, than after that Hopkins-GGG fight would be easy to sell.
As a promoter, this would be a great opportunity to steal a big fight from Haymon fighter, probably forcing Chavez Jr. to accept GGG or to duck him once again and take another blow to his shaky reputation.

War Hopkins!!!
