    Carl Froch Very Open To Fighting Bernard Hopkins

    Last week, former two division champion Bernard Hopkins threw down a challenge to WBC super middleweight champion Carl Froch. Hopkins unified the entire middleweight division, defending the title a record 20 times before he moved up to light heavyweight to win a title in that division. Hopkins, 44, skipped over 168-pounds and would like to go down in weight to capture a title there, and then retire. He is open to fighting Froch in England. [details]

    Very open to getting a Pavlik like beating

    So B-Hop changed his mind, 168 it is, 3 division champ, Froch might as well hand it over cuz he ain't winning this.

        I wouldn't do that yet if i was froch.. He should get a few more fights to improve on a couple of things and then think about guys like Hopkins and pavlik

              I expect a lot of entertaining fights from Froch.

                I think Froch should fight Pavlik first, because that is a very, very, winnable fight for him, and would further improve his standing in the U.S.

                The maybe Hopkins. Although I would rather see him fight Kessler, and Bute before any Hopkins match-up.

                  Hopkins has no hope of hurting him, hes to weak. Those couple punches all are capable of Knocking old man out. Hopkins can win, but only by fighting a extremely defensively. And nobody wants to see another defensive bore fest.

                  If he goes toe to toe with froch he will lose.

                    The problem is Hopkins was severely underestimated the last time and alot of posters looked like fools after Pavlik-Hopkins so Bernard is now being overrated.
