    I actually agree with this, Hopkins would dismantle Ward.

      I forgot about the Cloud fight... I was thinking about the Dawson fight in Cali. Don't know how the Boardwalk did... I just remember the Staples fight was pretty bad, they were handing out tickets to anybody standing outside.

        Dumbest thing ever was gb putting that fight in Cali. Dawson only has 14 fans total including family members and Hopkins always does well on the East Coast. A real.head scratcher that was.

          Yea yea, my bad. Forgot about that.
          That was a big topic going around on why it was happening on the West Coast.
          It really does make more sense in the East Coast.
          Honestly, Barclay's isn't a bad idea because they're trying to make it a hot spot for boxing and they're putting good fights in there.
          UK or Barclay's.... Barclays would be good though.
          I thought it was Cleverly, but Froch would be 10X better because screw Cleverly.
          Froch would still be better if he lost to Kessler.

            Damn could you imagine if Hopkins went on a streak of Froch, Cleverly, and finishes off his career with a win against Ward? He would be retiring around p4p number one lol

              I don't like a Hopkins fight but if Froch beats Kessler, is there even anyone left to fight at 168?

                  Pascal may kill that rematch.

                    Not really Froch's way. If not B-Hop he'll opt for a Ward rematch.

                    From a fan's perspective I think a Hopkins fight is more intriguing. I think Hopkins would probably school him but we already know Ward schools him.

                      I don't think Hopkins ever got over that Calzaghe loss. Froch would be the next best thing.
