... B-Hop doesn't fight either Kovalev or Stevenson.

i doubt it, that wouldnt sell well and i dont think floyd would go up that high in weight, hopkins will fight stevenson or go to 160 to face a name there

Wouldn't sell? B-Hop is one of the few fighters out there that gets mainstream attention. He's just as good as Floyd in prefight build-up. And then, when you put him in a faceoff with Floyd, he's gonna tower over him, which will get all the lil Floyd haters to buy in that Floyd is gonna lose. That fight does just as well, if not better than Floyd-Cotto and Floyd-Mosley.

I don't think eddie is against it. It's PPV in the uk which is where he wants all frochs fights. But yeah Chavez is the more lucrative fight but I see froch getting jobbed by the judges. They will probably want it in Texas too. Hearn will be a mug if he goes through with that.

Yeah Hopkins is a big name and it will sell, but it's very hard to look good against him, Froch will probably look bad win or lose. Eddie Hearn knows it.

He won't name them because he can't
