    B-Hop takes away Froch's jab and makes it boring, and wins a close decision countering an increasingly wild Froch who insists on throwing uppercuts from the outside.

    Froch takes some of the later rounds but is never likely to land anything big, swinging from the outside.

    I don't want to see this fight. It frustrates me just thinking about it.

        Very intretsing matchup, bhop is known for being able to take away his opponenets jab with ease, froch would have to establish his jab in this fight if he wanted to win a decision. The most likely outcome in my view would be Bhop by 115-113, a close enough fight but bhop does enough to get the decision.

          Bhop loses fairly wide..

          I don't believe this is the same guy that beat Pavlik/Cheated vs Calzaghe..

          Guy was barely doing enough to beat a shot to **** Roy Jones JR who had been KTFO by the legend Danny Green... infact he had to take regular breaks vs a gun shy Roy.. by pretending to get hit low

          I would also pick Glen Johnson and Ward over Bhop

          It don't matter though Pascal is gonna make sure Bhop cashes his last check from fighting soon

            froch tries to box hopkins, but hopkins' is too elusive even for a senior citizen. froch lands a bunch of glancing blows but never anything clean. hopkins hits froch with clean potshots but is getting outworked. it's a close fight depending on if you like quantity or quality.

            froch gets pissed with hopkins fighting negative, and he goes back to his old style of brawling. the fight turns ugly as both are good at fighting dirty. rabbit punches, hold-n-hit galore. hopkins is better at it, but froch is more youthful and gives and takes as good as he gets, and he's got the heavier hands. fight goes to decision.

            and your winner is..........


















































            froch gets the nod in nottingham! hopkins claims robbery and doesn't retire.

              This is the truth.

              Hopkins wins by 4-6 rounds.

                i think hopkins beats the hairpiece and piss out of froch, he's too open and too defensively flawed, IMHO, for hopkins.

                it would be a good scrap though.

                  No idea. Hopefully it'll happen in the future.
