Comments Thread For: Video: Bernard Hopkins on Going To 168, Fighting Froch

^^^The face I make every time people talk about Hopkins fighting under light heavyweight.

He's 50, people. He hasn't fought below that in years. Granted, it's much more believable than him going down to 160 like he was a year and a half ago, but still...

C'mon...

He's losing muscle mass and definition

168 is perfect for him

He weighed in at 172.5 vs murat and shumy and that's with eating breakfast

Somebody should ask Carl what he thinks about fighting Bernard, because as of today he's not looking to positive about fighting anyone.

Something nice about this picture..... pic.twitter.com/yN66tAhuDM

Hopkins/Golovkin at 170 on May 16th. Book it.

A win over Hopkins for Froch does nothing for me. JCC Jr doesn't either so idk. Froch should just get this bs career finale over with already.

Glenn Johnson?............yeah Froch isn't really that sort of fighter. He beats the weaker chinned true boxers with power and brute force and similar fighters to himself through attrition and determination. He can outbox flatfooted power punchers like Abraham and Johnson when he holds height/reach and/or age advantage, but I do fear for him against BHOP. Can't see him outboxing or knocking him out........ so how does he win this. Could be another pavlik affair.

Pavlik and Froch are equally slow. Froch gets outboxed by anyone decent.

Kovalev isn't any more 'athletic' than Froch.

At this stage, top guys can beat Hopkins with work rate.

Kovalev is, and have faster hands than Froch.

I'd take Hopkins all day against Froch.the guy is overrated in fights he wasnt dominating,Groves he may very well have been behind in both fights,he was certainly behind in the first.the Kessler rematch was taken in the last round on one judges card,he lost the initial fight.i won't mention Dirrell and Taylor,I mean who has this guy ever conclusively outboxed over 12 aside from Abraham,because he sure as **** ain't stopping BHOP.

Slow ass Froch is overrated. Been telling people this for a long time. He's just another toughman with good power similar to Lucas Matthysse.

Not interested in watching another stinker from Hopkins.

Hopkins has been fighting out of selfishness for the past few years now. His fights are truly awful to watch.
