    i dont think he would KO hopkins.

    All im saying is that if he cant get Joe then do something Joe didnt do. KOing hopkins would be a huge statement.

    Wont happen tho.

    would love to see the fight, mind

      Carl Froch told Steve Bunce's Boxing Hour that if Joe Calzaghe comes out of retirement he is his only credible opponent.

      Golden Boy CEO Richard Schaefer said last week he wanted to persuade Calzaghe to fight Bernard Hopkins in Wales but the Pride of Wales said he had no interest in meeting The Executioner again.

      Froch believes his profile in the United States will be boosted sufficiently by beating Jermain Taylor on April 25 that a fight between Calzaghe would then be a big occasion on both sides of the Atlantic.

      "The Taylor fight will set me up as a superstar in the States," Froch said on Setanta Sports News.

      "I was prepared to give up home advantage and travel over to Conneticut.

      "I know they're going to take to me with my style.

      "[Taylor is] still a big name but whenever anyone gets beat it takes the shine off them, but he's still a marquee fighter and beating him will launch me to the next level.

      "I'll go for a minimum of three weeks before the fight. That's enough time to get the flight out of my system."

      Conversations inevitably turned to Calzaghe and Froch said he does not regret harsh words he had about the Welshman when he announced his exit from the ring.

      "He's retired - he's done the right thing," Froch said. "I hear he's talking about coming out of retirement and if he does the only man who he could fight is me, especially after I beat Jermain Taylor.

      "I dont regret anything I've said. everything I said about Calzaghe I standby."

      Froch also spoke about Arthur Abraham, who fights live on Setanta on Saturday night, and admitted he is an opponent he would love to share the ring with.

      "Very tough, strong middleweight, he's a big name and a good fighter," Froch added. "There's talk of him moving up to super middleweight. If he does I'd like any of those big names.

        Froch doesn't seem to see Taylor as much of a threat, that could be dangerous

          No telling how many times he's blown his load watching the Pavlik KO in slow-mo... he probably ffwds it to that part like a kid watching a ****o.

                  I respect Froch coz he's willing to fight anyone but sometimes he gets delusional. He can't even see that Taylor fought everyone already, he keeps mentioning Calzaghe.

                    Carl, JOE IS RETIRED.

                    I do like CF tho, he's ballsy and a great fighter to watch. Sticks his chin out too much, but hey, it's all good fun.

                    I think the fight with JT will be a cracker, think Carl will win too. In fact i think he'll smash him up. We'll see.

                    IMO Hopkins is the fight he should go for (at a catch weight if not 168, Carl's not interested in 175), if he cant fight Joe then at least fight Hopkins and do what Joe didnt even come close to doing....knock him out.

                    That'll set tongues wagging
                    LOL. As if 'Nard would gain anything or even consider fighting Froch.

                    Froch KO Hopkins? Am I hallucinating here or what?
