    Hopkins vs Froch, who wins?

    Hopkins said he could easily make 168 and Froch has said he wants to go to 175, at either weight, who do you think wins?

    Does Hopkins pull off another Andre Ward type performance on Froch or does Froch and his determination to win get to Hopkins late on for a stoppage?

    I thin most Brits would be curious if this fight happened, with the Calzaghe ties it adds another dimension to it . Who do you guys have?

    Hmmm.

    I think Froch could pull this one off. Very powerful and will be willing to take some to give some. I think Froch would look ****** for maybe 4 rounds before the pressure got to Hopkins and he would eventually somewhat succumb to it. He would still keep it interesting though but would be out-landed in most of the rounds.

    Froch decision 8-4, I'll not be the one to say Hopkins gets KO'd.

      If Hopkins goes down in weight at his age he has already defeated himself.

      At 75 you got a serious fight.

        Honestly, Froch wins this one, it's not even a hard fight to pick. Hopkins looked good but he didn't look nearly as good as he did against Pascal in the rematch. At this point Froch, Hopkins is my dude, not one to bet against him but he doesn't win this.

          I've never heard Froch say he wanted to fight at 175, but you know who wins every fantasy fight with Froch involved - not Carl.

            Hopkins wins, I think the problem is Frochs lack of inside game outside of a good uppercut.

              Froch will win it on work rate. He won't be deterred by Hopkins power or mentally. I think it's a bad match up for b-hop.

                Froch. At 48 years old I think this would be the worst match up for Hopkins

                  froch would beat hopkins 9-3 or 10-2. he might even stop him. if he keeps fighting, one of these days bernard is going to get hit with a shot that he used to take and it's going to put him down.

                    I don't know how to answer. I've doubted both of these guys a lot, and I'm at a point where I never want to doubt them again. If they fought each other, I'd have to doubt someone.

                    I'll say Froch. He was competitive with and nearly wore down Andre Ward, I think he wins a close, but clear decision against Hopkins.
