Comments Thread For: Froch: No Hopkins or GGG, I'll Wait For Chavez Jr.

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

IBF/WBA 'regular' super middleweight champion Carl Froch, and his promoter Eddie Hearn, are taking a pass on doing a fight with former two-division champion Bernard Hopkins. Instead, they are going to wait for a June fight with Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. in June.

Chavez has finalized a fight with Andrzej Fonfara for April 18th. If he wins, he hopes to face Froch next. There were talks for a Chavez-Froch fight on March 28. The Nottingham fighter withdrew on Monday with an elbow injury.

He wants an easy payday..can't blame the guy

He's not injured, doe.

Hopkins is a completely pointless fight as far as Froch is concerned.

GGG a great fight but not nearly big enough yet. At least the fight has legs unlike Hopkins.

Hopefully Chavez has his **** together by the summer.

Hopefully Chavez gets beaten badly enough that his stock becomes worthless so people can stop chasing him.

Hopkins is a completely pointless fight as far as Froch is concerned.

You've said this before, but why is it pointless?

[Hougigo]

Well, guess he's retiring

What exactly is the point in it?

Hopkins is 50 years old and just got his arse kicked for 12 straight rounds. It's not even a big money fight and not on PPV.

Chavez is the worst guy to wait around for, he's going to see that Froch retires through inactivity.
