    If Johnson loses

    Will he retire if he loses to Froch??? Hope not, I'd like to see him fight Hopkins again, but I'm not sure if Bhop would want to fight him.

    Unless he suddenly grows old, which is possible, he absolutely shouldn't retire. He can still do very well at either 168 or 175.

    I'd love to see Hopkins-Johnson II. I'd give Glen a very good chance in that fight.

        I personally think B.Hop beats him in one sided fashion again. Although I'd give him a puncher's chance, since Hopkins gets hit a lot more in his older state.

        I also think Froch is going outbox him. The jab is the key!

          NOPE! Try again. And if he does, its gonna be a definite proof he's on roids.

            While that wouldn't surprise me, Glen is a much savvier fighter than he was then, and he has a workrate to bother Hopkins if he can get it off. He also wouldn't be the least bit bothered by Hopkins "veteran" tactics. I think it would be one of the best fights Hopkins has been in in years.

              What about Johnson makes him have such a greater chance than the other come forward brawlers Hopkins has picked apart?

                  Depends how he loses. If he gets stopped badly, then maybe he'll retire. I think Froch wins a close, competitive decision which means Johnson will probably carry on. There are still fights out there for him. I thought he beat Tavoris Cloud

                    Johnson even now is quite a bit better than when they first fought and i think he has the style to bother Hopkins. Even before that, I still think Johnson is going to defeat Froch and meet Ward in the finals who will give Ward a very hard fight more than Froch would.
