    why would bernard hopkins make froch look silly?

    Im not into these triangle theories, but no one has got close to making froch look "silly"

    Pascal is a similar style fighter to froch and he had close fights with hopkins, and froch comfortably beat pascal.

    Its one thing thinking hopkins would beat froch, but all this "he will mak him look silly"is getting childish.

      Hopkins size, skills, and style all spell doom for someone like Froch. Hard to see Froch winning unless Hopkins grows old. I guess that has to happen eventually.

          Froch would lose to Hopkins because he is so open. Hopkins win the early rounds an con his way through the later rounds and win a close decision. Depends where the fight is held though. I cant see homer Hopkins going to Nottingham.

            Froch has a better chance of beating Hopkins than Ward that is for sure.

            The way to beat Hopkins is to have a good jab throw a lot of punches to take Hopkins out of his comfort zone.

            Not a easy fight for Froch but Hopkins never makes it an easy fight for anyone.

                Froch vs Bernie would be an interisting fight.

                Froch always looked good or decent against a lot of elite fighters (Direll, Kessler, Pascal, Taylor, Abraham, Johnson).

                I think people are thinking it would be a Pavlik vs Hopkins 2, but Froch unlike Kelly is a smart fighter, he can do a lot more than jab jab right hand, jab jab right hand, and he isn't slow as Pavlik.

                  What a surprise!! Hopkins wants to fight another guy from a weight division below.

                    That criticism was legitimate 15 years ago, but being 50 years old kind of negates the weight advantage.
