Comments Thread For: Hopkins Moving Down, Eyes Final Bout With a Champion

[285Kid]

Dirrell he will love to put one last black eye on Al Haymon

Maybe I missed the quote where he said he'd be moving down in that article?

Carl Froch vs Bhop would indeed be a massive fight, that'd sell out Wembley another 80k crowd...
Very interesting fingers crossed he does go to 168 lol.

Bernard's wanted Froch for a long time and now that Hopkins looks vulnerable Froch might agree. It looks more & more like Chavez will never happen, where he might see Hopkins as a safe and profitable option, where Golovkin would be a dangerous option.

That said, I think this style match-up favors Hopkins over Froch. I didn't see Hopkins beating Kovalev, but I do see him beating Froch at 170.

How would it sit with Carl to lose to a much older version of Hopkins at 170, when Calzaghe beat a younger Hopkins at 175?

I don't know Hopkins kinda old his body wasn't looking good to me middle was looking soft losing body definition time to hang em up nothing to prove...

I bet Ward will duck Hopkins too, that mother****er is a sissy made coward. I have no respect for that *****.

If Hopkins wants Golovkin, we can end him. Anyone else, he's got my full support. WAR HOPKINS!!!

Lmfao tell em

Ward is now an actor, perhaps he can get Bhop a part in whatever he is doing atm lol.

He will fight Froch or maybe Abraham..he wants another title

Abraham sounds like a safe bet for him winning another title but good luck getting him out of Germany, same could be said for Froch he is massive in the UK obviously.

Hopkins didn't say he's moving down, he said he wants to fight someone from the SMW division at a weight both him and the supper-middleweight are comfortable at. I would assume that weight would be 170 lbs, the same weight Hopkins fought Wright and Pavlik.

GGG or Froch seem like the options. Hopkins mentioned GGG in the lead-up to the Kovalev fight. I think GGG would stop him so the Froch fight is more likely IMO. Froch can be outboxed as we saw in the Dirrell and Glenn Johnson fights. I think Hopkins can pull that one off at 50 years old and I hope that is the fight he pursues.

The puzzle pieces would fit perfectly for Froch vs Hopkins, although I don't think it's PPV worthy like Froch wanted for his retirement.

Then again, is Chavez Jr PPV worthy either?
