    Comments Thread For: Hopkins: I'm Rooting For Froch To Win, Want Him Next

    IBF light heavyweight champion Bernard Hopkins tells Jeff Powell of Daily Mail that he wants Carl Froch (30-2, 22KOs) to defeat Mikkel Kessler in their unification rematch on May 25th - because Hopkins wants to fight him next. Hopkins has a mandatory defense of his title on July 13th against Karo Murat.

    "Froch is top of my wish list. I have great respect for him as a fighter. He is very exciting and our styles would make for a great fight. I will happily go over to the UK to make it happen but of course Carl will have to beat Kessler first. I am rooting for him to do it and I think he will win this time," Hopkins said.

      I'd be interested in this.... don't know if U.S or UK though. Probably UK because Hopkins hasn't drawn much here

          Interesting matchup. Hopkins claims another scalp. And does it with ease

              His last fight drew 12,000+. If he fights Froch, they'd sell out the Barclays Center

                  Hopkins is a legend. At 48 he wants to fight top dogs. If he beats Froch he would have to be in every p4p list

                                  Hopkins is sick and tired of ruining good American fighter's careers. Andre Ward would become Kelly Pavlik 2.0. Would be sad to see a man of faith turn to the bottle.

                                      this would be a pretty good fight I think Froch could pull it off against b hop
