    I actually think Froch would be thrown out of there if he fought Hopkins. It would be a horrible mess.

    There would be plenty of rough stuff and Hopkins would sell it.
    Froch has problems with guys that are light on their feet, move around a lot. I think Hopkins is a perfect match up for Froch. Froch has never been outhustled in close quarters and i don't think Hopkins could stop him, although Hopkins is a bit bigger so it could be interesting to see how it would go down. In the end i think it's a horrible matchup for Hopkins and Hopkins would get KO'd.

    froch obviously wants no part of ward, but still. if it was up to me thats what i would want to see. hopkins earned his shot at stevenson, he wants it and he is gonna get it.
    Because they are probably the only two active and still relevant boxing legends that could fight (besides Pac and Floyd). The other guys in their divisions aren't on their level, except Ward. Compared to them they're all up and comers, even Chavez Jr.

      It'd be a snoozefest.

      No interest in this fight at all. B-Hop would object to testing, too.

        Of course Froch wants Ward, don't be silly.

          froch beats ggg easier than he did groves. it would be no contest. i'd rather see froch vs kovalev since neither hopkins or stevenson wants anything to do with kovalev.

            That's probably a terrible matchup for Froch, and they're a division apart anyway.

              He have better options at 168 (Chavez, Kessler 3, and probably Golovkin).

              Hopkins' style will present problem for Froch.
