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

[- Ram Raid -]

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

Really!?! He's out of your fantasy best friends buddy scheme for that?

And here's me thinking that you'd identify with a mouthpiece. . . . .

Another reason for me to go into this fight with bad intentions. Ohhh yeaah I'm ready, first psycho mode of the year for me. WAR. . .

. . . You either born with it or not. I don't care what anyone says, I am right. I got extreme power AND I BARELY work out at all. Yet I'm able to go to the local gym and knock fools out in sparring. Look at Malignaggi, mofo was born weak as hell. Same with floyd and Bradley. You either are born with power or you aren't. Simple.

Similar story bro. I have been a a street fighter for 10 years, knocking everyone out cold and I was fighting / sparring adults (even in sparring at gym, I had to sign release because I was 12). Mom wouldn't let me. . .

I guess I'm not giving your delusion the credit it deserves.

So, yeah, war Triple Gonk!!

If Kovalev/Hopkins wasn't a blockbuster non-ppv, I don't see how they'd even fathom Hopkins/Froch would be ppv, especially given Hopkins just lost every round in his last fight. As pointed out, Hopkins/Dawson bombed both as a ppv and gate. Froch has nothing to gain here, and that's just a bad style for him anyways. No way he risks losing to Hopkins after Calzaghe beat him.


I still don't understand how Froch/Chavez is even ppv worthy. Chavez at his peak for the MW title on Mexican Independence day, back when ppv's were stronger only got 475k buys. Now with Froch barely fighting on US tv and Chavez looking like a joke, that looks like a big financial risk.

I've been calling for this fight for a while now. Besides Stevenson, there is no sense in BHOP fighting anyone else. #BHOP50

I have serious doubts Froch takes this fight.if he loses his legacy he ****s on about goes up in smoke,guys need to realise comparison to Calzaghe means everything to Froch,he is desperate to be considered as good as if not better than Joe.pretty much the reaso the Kessler fight was so important to him.the same reason he wants a Vegas fight,albeit agains a softer touch than what Calzaghe faced in Vegas,Chavez Jr is a joke not to be taken serious.it astounds me he still has a fan base.

B-Hop should fight Ward, both guys want an opponent but I guess Hopkins wants an opponent he can beat and doesn't fancy it.

This will be the last fight of 2 greats

Legends bowing out by fighting each other

Who will retire on a victory...

I remember Calzaghe used Hopkins to fulfill the same dream lol a decade ago!

. . . . and that's the only reason for Froch to take this fight!

Chavez matches up better - and would make for a much better fight for the fans! Hopkins will only try to kid and cheat a win.

God, this is a horrible fight.

Two professional boxers in a greco-roman wrestling match, no thank you.


Ward's called out Nard more than a few times and Nard said no thanks, for which I'm thankful. Let Ward fight his weight-drained Agnew.

That was Chavez's first time carrying a big HBO PPV and he did half a million buys. That was a rousing success. What did you expect it to do?

People expect Mayweather numbers for every PPV now...he only did 2 or 300k on his first PPV.
