    Froch vs Hopkins as a double farewell fight is perfect.
    well ya if hes scared to lose i could see it but its a big money fight people would watch if he loses his career wasnt what the hype says anyway

      Direll, Abraham or Froch then if Ward is out of the question.

      Unless GGG moves up to 168 while Hopkins moves down to 168..can't see that though.

          Then again, is Chavez Jr PPV worthy either?
          Shiiit I would definately shell out cash for a hopkins froch ppv

            Not really. Not with Cotto or Canelo lined up.

            Why fight a 50 year old coming off a loss? It's lose-lose. Pointless.

              Nah, Ward would humiliate Hopkins. Way too good and way too athletic.

                Agreed, I just don't see any sense in Golovkin fighting B-Hop

                Naturally they're a couple divisions apart, and even if Hopkins does drop to Super Middle, why would it be for a fight with a Middleweight who'd have to move up

                And I do see this as no win for Golovkin as best case he beats up and stops Hopkins, big deal. Where a loss derails him and hurts his momentum big time

                Even in the build up to Hopkins-Kovalev, Golovkin was viewed as a potential opponent for Hopkins, I didn't get it then and still don't get it

                If Hopkins is indeed fighting at smw, he should fight an actual Super MW, not a Middleweight moving up to Super middle

                  If Hopkins wants Golovkin, we can end him. Anyone else, he's got my full support. WAR HOPKINS!!!
                  You're as funny as you are ******. Loud mouth Abel Sanchez' bluff was called a long time ago. He was challenging anyone from 154-168. Ward, like the true champion that he is stepped up to the plate and all of a sudden loud mouth Abel had no voice! So get your facts right before you come here insulting a pound 4 pound king like Ward.

                  Ward would put on a boxing clinic against Golovkin and Abel knows this, this is why he backed down from Andre's challenge. There is nothing special about GGG other than his power. He is one dimensional, flat footed, slow and very basic. Once he actually fights someone with a pulse who is not a part-time cab driver he easily gets exposed and all you ban wagon fans will suddenly be scrambling for some other hype job's ban wagon to jump on

                    do you watch boxing or do you skim through it?

                    GGG is much better than what you talking about.

                      He just wants that record of "Oldest title challenger ever at 50 years old"

                      Hops is crazy man.
