Hopkins: "Froch Can Be a Superstar By Fighting Me"

[Lacrimosa]

Well he can become more known... But he won`t become a star, as he will lose badly...

[black.ink]

I know it's wrong, but many regard an unbeaten record (no matter how good the comp) as a major factor in Boxing. A boxer's stock tends to take a dive when a loss appears on that record, even though the first 20 fights tend to be padded.

If Froch is smart about this, and to keep that record intact, he should avoid Hopkins. Just look at Hatton. 2 losses to the p4p #1's at the time, and everyone wants him retired. Losses can affect boxers in different ways, and Froch is at the stage of his career where he needs to plan it well. He doesn't want to fade away, when he has just arrived on the world scene.

Hatton's own family wants him retired.

are you ****ing kid of me?

an offer was on the table in summer 2002 from warren to hopkins. hopkins accepted, 24 hours later hopkins doubled his demands and the deal fell through.

You're acting like the first time a deal has fell through
What do you expect!?

Hopkins just came of a win from Trinidad. He had much bigger and better options, such as aiming to get DLH in the ring.

Joe was nothing but a joke in 2002, and Hopkins probably got more from his mandatories than to face him.

Warren exposed Joe after he Joe fired Warren anyway, try having a look as to what Warren said. I think you'll find Joe must have been pretty relieved the deal fell through

Ha ha ha! Hopkins you scared bastard! Take Kessler man, everyone knows Carl Froch is nothing compared to a decent fighter. The thing Carl is, is that he's entertaining! Kessler vs. Hopkins would be CRAZY!

[mojack]

Hopkins is a vet, and like a vet he plays dirty tricks to win. Froch has only 25 pro fights under his belt, taking this fight i don't think would get him any credit.
He needs to go after Pavlik.

Hopkins just wants an even more impressive win to go out on than he did over Pavlik. Two of the greatest wins of his career will be when he was 44! Let them fight, Froch needs to learn a boxing lesson...

watch for new thread wrightful owner to p4p#1

it is true. this would be a fight in which for Froch a good outing would be enough to get the attention he yearns for.

[The Gully Gad]

The only plus froch would get out of this is if he could stop Hop or knock him out then he can say his got 1 up on Joe..Bar that nothing can come from it then a legend a old legend on ur cv...

Hop would skool him anyway

B Hop would Ko Froch with a vicious right hand counter. Froch leaves himself open too much inbetween punches his punches are way too telegraphed and Hopkins is one of the best counter punchers in teh business 44 or 24 he would whoop that as$ right back to reality....Lefty
