Froch in the Current 175lb Division

Stevenson was a SMW and I believe was wanting to fight Froch but he got an offer to fight Chad Dawson at LHW and the rest is history Yep, Froch called him out and said he'd get satisfaction by putting on a beating on against a man who abuses women or something to that effect. And Froch gets sparked at LHW because he blocks punches with his chin, and some of those LHW can punch Indeed.

Froch is a career SMW, how the hell did he 'duck' Stevenson when they don't even fight at the same weight?

Froch ducked Stevenson after seeing him destroy Bellew. If he loses to Hopkins that makes him look bad as he always hated Calzaghe and tried to prove he was a better fighter then him especially in trying to beat Kessler in a rematch.

I think Froch's chin will be fine at the weight but yes, he may struggle with power up there but he is far more than just a durable fighter, he has a pretty good jab and by moving up, will be the second most accomplished fighter in the division. I reckon he'd take Pascal again and then Hopkins v Froch here in the UK would be massive!

Froch relies on his natural strength and punch resistance. A move up would negate those attributes, so i don't think it's a sensible idea.

Froch walks around just under the 175lb limit. I don't think it would be a good idea to move up. There's still good matchups against degale, chaves jr or maybe even golovkin to be made.

He either gets sparked or shocks boxingscene bute style
