    Carl Froch vs Bernard Hopkins at 175

    No one mentions this, but ive always wanted this fight. I think its win win. I think it would be a great build up, hopkins saying controvertial things. Froch and Hopkins could go to Las vegas. Froch and Hopkins would both Fancy this fight. It would pay well.

    Yes froch is moving up, but hes not facing a danger puncher. He might lose by decision. Hopkins would fancy his chances by trying to spoil.

    Froch for once would be the youth and feel he could outwork hopkins and repeat calzaghe 2 weight champion..

    What you think?

    I don't like this fight for froch. Dangerous fight for the cobra. It should be at super middleweight though because Carl is the money in this fight. I think Hopkins would really have to elevate his game from his recent fights to beat Froch. It could go either way on points. I'm going for froch in a split decision.

      Actually that's a good fight, I'd like to see it at 175 or maybe a 173 catchweight for arguments sake.

        Carls not quick enough for Hopkins, it would be like the Ward fight all over again cause Hopkins would spoil all night, plus Hearn said carls next fight would have to be PPV in America which is why they're saying no to Bika, and I can't see that being PPV over there to be honest

              Robert McCracken refuses to allow Froch to fight above 168lbs.

              If it happens, it happens at 168.

                  one thing Calzaghe has over froch is 2 weight champion. ironically i think it was against Hopkins.

                  Obviously froch is facing A nearly 50 hopkins so im not claiming that this version would be better. I am thinking of froch legacy on aper. weight world champ.

                  Throw in the fact that Hopkins aint no adonis or Kovalev, even if he wins its unlikely he does any serious damage to Carl. Where as Carl could get brutalised by Adonis or Sergey.

                  Also Lets be honest, Hopkins is a big name, he got a belt, froch is a name now.

                  I THINK both guys would fancy it, it pays well and would be good for both guys resume/unpaper without risking there health.
