Comments Thread For: Froch To Hopkins: You Want Me? Only at a Catch-Weight!

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

If Bernard Hopkins wants to fight Carl Froch, the IBF light heavyweight champion will need to come down to a catch weight to make it happen.

Froch expressed interest in boxing Hopkins on a conference call Wednesday to discuss his super middleweight championship rematch against Mikkel Kessler on May 25 in London. The British star also made it perfectly clear that he has no intention of moving all the way up to 175 pounds for a shot at the 48-year-old legend.

hahaha what happened to froch?

when no-one willing to fight anyone now he's got a small name ducking and diving..

asking an old man for a catchweight and come down in weight....

Froch isn't going to LHW for anybody. He doen't even walk around at 175.

He's looking to a Ward rematch before Hopkins anyway.

Froch is my fav fighter at the moment Ward humiliates him again.

so Froch isn't a LHW I get that, but if he's fighting at a CW, it would likely be 170, which is light heavyweight

catchweight silliness

Carl Froch
Andre Ward
Manny pacquiao are all allowed to make opponents come down in weight but Mayweather's not allowed?

I think it would be closer.

Ward would win, but I think it would be a tighter fight with Froch pushing the action more.

Froch and Ward had never fought or held titles at 175, though.
