It's the opponent not the weight.

From the man's own words.
"But realistically I know he wouldn't drop down to super-middleweight and I don't really want to go up to light-heavyweight so I'd compromise and meet him at a catch weight of around 172lb.
Since this fight he also said he'd face Pascal in a rematch at LHW.
Talk is cheap - to say I want to fight so and so. Lets see, according to Froch he wanted to fight Hopkins before - Hopkins is even prepared to do a catchweight and come to the UK.
4 plus years ago Froch said he could do a catchweight (to fight Calzaghe, so he said he can do a catchweight), so is it the weight - no - is it the opponent, well, yes if he turns it down.
If Froch doesn't want a fight he talks about how he's a Super Middle but if does he wants a fight he says he can do a catchweight or even go to LH.
Well Hopkins has said he doesn't have to come to LH he'll afford Froch a catchweight and come to the UK - what more incentives can Froch ask for?
If Froch takes the fight, I'll retract my words and say he will fight anyone but if he doesn't there is absoloutely no excuse and yes he will have avoided Hopkins.
