Comments Thread For: Froch: Facing Bernard Hopkins in Notttingham is Huge!

[Dr Rumack]

Froch is wrong if he think's he can do anything close to what Kovalev did to Hopkins. I wouldn't be surprised if Hopkins beats him.

Froch would struggle with B-Hops defence alright, he doesn't really have the precision Kovalev showed against it.

But it's hard to see how B-Hop would get much done against Froch at all. Ward manhandled Froch, B-Hop doesn't have the athleticism to go down that road anymore.

Athletic fighters beat bhop

Froch isn't athletic

But bhop is 50

I don't see him losing to froch

That's putting bias to the side

Being genuine here

[WESS]

Build up to the fight is Hopkins and Froch's wife talking mad ****!

[Bardock]

Yea he did. That doesn't prove Froch will fight anyone anytime. That he is fearless.

People don't remember, but Froch never made any money for most of his career. Sky never showed his fights, he fought on some PPV channel in the UK, Primetime I believe, and never had any sales. He was an absolute failure.

This is when Froch fought his tough opponents. Froch got big following the Bute win, and since then? Froch has most definitely NOT fought anyone and everyone.

In fact, Froch has very very clearly avoided and ducked many fighters. A fearsome warrior would fight GGG and Kovalev, not target freaking two bit fatso Chavez Jr., or a deadman walking like Hopkins.

Its especially hypocritical that Froch criticizes every British fighter for their choice of opponents, calling every opponent feather fisted or a bum. Now he's trying to fight Hopkins and also keep on telling us the same old BS?

Froch is popular because he's an icon to all the racist white Englishmen of shltholes like Nottingham. Thankfully, we are too smart to buy this BS about being a warrior who will fight anyone, anytime.

GGG would end this whitehype. Execute him in cold blood.

BHOP shuts him down..in front of his home crowd no less.

I like Carl, but what happened to his Vegas match???????

Chavez was too high to sign the contract or train.

This is really not a great match-up and BHop should just retire. BTW there's no way Hop would get a decision win in Nottingham with his kind of style of boxing.

don't know what Froch is thinking

if he loses, he lost to a 50 year old coming off a shutout loss

if he wins, he beat a 50 year old coming off a shutout loss

Hopkins wins this fight, judges give it to Froch though

[jas]

I really hope they don't rob this man again

It would make me sick to my stomach

Froch IS NOT a warrior, because all his tough fights were not his choice. He was forced into everyone of those fights, as he never made any money. Now that Froch has choice, what has this warrior done? Fight easy, soft opponents. Not quite a warrior at all.

When he finally got to pick his fights he fought or tried to fight the fearsome fighters of Yusaf Mack the killer, Chavez Jr. P4p 1, the beast Geroge Groves, and the feared knockout artist Bernard Hopkins.

Froch could've retired after Ward, he was talking about it at the time but he specifically requested to fight Bute, that fight was win or retire. After that he chased a Kessler rematch after a bruising first encounter. He didn't need either of those fights but he went after them.

George Groves was his mandatory, Froch never wanted to fight him the first time but didn't want to let him have the title. He doesn't seem to dislike DeGale quite so much and is not motivated to fight him so he vacated.
