    If he goes toe to toe with froch he will lose.
    Lmao, he wen't toe to toe with Pavlik and won every exhange. Best believe he'll do the same with Froch

        He never really rocked pavlik to bad and was landing tons of blows. Pavlik went the distance and was fine physically after the 12th.

        Froch probably has an even better chin than Pavlik and has more 1 punch power.

          I find it funny because Froch criticized Calzaghe for fighting old men like Hopkins and now he is willing to fight Hopkins now that he is a bit older lol.

            Except Hopkins is the one looking for the fight. Froch isn't seeking him out.

            Anyways, Hopkins is an exception, he is still competitive at the top level even though he is technically old for boxing standards.

            Bacially its a lose lose situation for Froch in the eyes of many haters. If he takes the fight he is fighting an "old man" if he turns Hopkins down, he is "scared".

            The **** is so easy to see and predict.

                I don't think the fight will happen.

                  Oh and if Froch wins, he gets no credit because he beat an old man. If he loses, then he lost to an old man and is ridiculed.

                  If I were Froch I would just take the fight and cash in, its not like he is gonna win in the eyes of many no matter what happens.

                    Pavlik received the same treatment so Froch shouldn't be immune to it. I don't see him getting dominated tho.

                      Froch has a WBC mandatory obligation to fulfill before he can pick and choose his fights.

                      Expect him to face Ward/Miranda, Dirrell or Murat before the end of the year.

                      Only then, should he win, will he be able to start looking at fights against the likes of B-Hop, Bute, kessler.
