Comments Thread For: Hopkins: Froch is a Coward, He's an Insult To Calzaghe

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Bernard Hopkins has branded Carl Froch a "coward" and challenged the Nottingham man to pick his own venue for a possible world title showdown.

The American ring legend has launched a scathing attack on Froch after the WBA super-middleweight champion suggested he did not want to risk his reputation in a fight with Hopkins.

An elbow injury forced 'The Cobra' to put off plans for a Las Vegas clash against Julio Chavez Jr and the 37-year-old described an alternative fight against Hopkins as a 'lose-lose situation', sparking a fiery response from the former undisputed middleweight champion.

Hopkins is begging now. This fight was mentioned in passing by Froch more or less and Hopkins has now decided to go full ****** on this fight.

Chill out man.

It's reaching desperation at this stage.

B-Hop is my dude but he really needs to hang them up and forget about Froch. Besides he already has the record for oldest champion which is a record that will likely stand for a very long time. What else does he have to prove here?

As far as Calzaghe goes I've always thought he'd have beaten Froch is a well fought decision had they met.

Did I just read that Bhop actually paid Calzaghe a compliment? He most be getting senile or is it that he is just mellowing in his old age?

Arise, Sir Joe.

Neither.

He's trying to annoy Froch enough to get a fight, by any means.

Has more to do with him baiting Froch. He's aware of the history between Froch and Calzaghe, how much Froch resented and has constantly been compared with Calzaghe. Yusaf Mack did the same thing to taunt Froch when he came over.

Joe and Bernard are carl froch's respective father and step dad

Calzaghe fathered him early in his career now Bernard is giving him the telling off he deserves soon to be followed by a good old step dad beating

EX is doing exactly what he's supposed to do. I see this fight happening. If Froch ducks, then I hope BHOP challenges Stevenson or retires. Nothing left to prove (like 10 years ago).
