Froch vs BHOP?

[Abstraction]

I don't know.

Prime v Prime, there is little doubt that Hopkins would be heavy favorite.

But Hopkins is 44!!!

Last time he was in the ring was in October last year.

IF they do face, it will be around September, nearly a year later, where he will be almost 45!!!!

So, i got it 50-50.

Like someone said earlier, eventually his age will catch up to him.

[MANGLER]

Bhop would beat him. I want this fight. Nothin against Froch cuz he got my respect against Pascal and Taylor, but I wanna see Bhop go out as a champ.

Hopkins beats him down...

I favour Hopkins but the age thing has me nervous. Froch will make him work harder than Pavlik so hopefully he won't gas too early and give up too many rounds.

I highly doubt Froch has a chance at knocking him out though, which is what leads me to favour B-Hop

If Carl beats Popkins. Will he get RESPECT or the usual, Hopkins was Shot???

How can you determine how much credit he gets before seeing how Hopkins looks in the ring?

bernard takes this by a wide ass UD.

Froch will not be one to beat Hopkins even at this age, Hopkins has faltered against Athletic fast fighters. Froch has power, heart and stamina, Hopkins would take advantage of his awful defence and I wouldn't be surprise if Hopkins dropped him like Taylor.

The only thing I think of they may make Hopkins lose is his stamina, if he has a sudden drop then he may lose but I think the Stamina problems he had against Joe were because of the constant clinching and pushing against Joe and Joes highwork rate.

This would be similar to Hopkins vs Pavlik.

One sided beatdown.

This is all true, and I hope it plays out like this. But the age thing just leaves a question mark every time he fights now, and unfortunately he's only getting older

I m a big Froch fan and hate Hopkins (although i respect his ring skills hugely) but I cant see Froch beating the old master. Unless we see age finally catch up with Hopkins of course, i guess we'll see on the night but for me its Hopkins by UD.

Bhops tool box is waaay to big. Froch gets his propers just for saying he will take the fight and meaning it. If he finds a way to make bhop's age catch up with him and then beats the master boxer, he would be the top dog at 168 fo sho.

I want this to be bhops farewell fight unless he is fighting Dawson.
