    Has there been any word from Hopkins regarding the Trinidad rematch?

    I haven't heard anything myself.

    I wonder now if Hopkins will make a move at Carl Froch. I think Hopkins LOVES to beat guys that Jermaine Taylor could not beat (Winky & Pavlik) so I wouldn't be surprised if he makes an offer and Froch seems like the kind of guy looking for big paydays so I can see him taking the fight if there were an offer. I would much rather see Froch/Hopkins than a pointless tito fight.

      Tito would have a better chance than Froch.

      Well, not really, but even if Mills Lane pushed Hop out of the ring again, he would still beat Froch very easily.

        No Hopkins nor anyone from GBP has commented. I think it's pretty much bull to be honest considering HBO probably wouldn't pay for it.

          I don't remember where I read it but he said it was "news to him" and that he plans to retire. I'll have a look for it now.

                I remember a few months back, there kept being stories that Pacquiao was going to fight Zab Judah. In the end it turned out that all of the rumours were spred by someone connected to Zab.

                This kinda reminds me of that.

                  Hopkins would make Froch look foolish. Froch is "taylor" made for Hopkins no pun intended.

                    "We can sit down with Joe," Hennessy said. "We can make him a partner in the show. It's good business. He's a free agent. If it's not Calzaghe, then Kelly Pavlik, Lucien Bute, Mikkel Kessler, maybe even Bernard Hopkins. But Joe is top of the list because [as] we all know in Britain, world-class domestic fights, that's what it's all about.
                    It sounds as if Froch would be interested in a fight with Hopkins.
