        More like he got arse ****d for 11 rounds and almost died in the 12th.

            It's one of those fights where Froch might underestimate Hopkins or if Froch wins he isn't gonna get much credit. It's just a ****** fight really.

                Why does he care that Hopkins is 50? I thought all he wanted was a big occasion/payday to finish his career?

                Froch is talking utter shit here.

                    And Hopkins doesn't bring that.

                        "It's something which has been on my career bucket-list and fighting Bernard at the home of Forest would probably be the biggest fight Nottingham has ever seen. The prospect of walking out at the City Ground, lights dimmed, heading to the ring knowing I would face one of the legends of boxing excites me like you wouldn't believe."

                        Froch: Facing Bernard Hopkins in Notttingham is Huge!
                        http://www.boxingscene.com/froch-facing-bernard-hopkins-notttingham-huge--87039
                        On Tuesday, Carl Froch (33-2, 24KOs) made his expected move to vacate the IBF super middleweight title. Froch had no interest in facing mandatory challenger James DeGale. Froch, who also holds the WBA's 'regular' title at 168-pounds, wants to face Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. on a June date in Las Vegas. But there is another fight that equally excites Froch, a battle with 50-year-old legend Bernard Hopkins (55-7-2, 32KOs), who wants to move down from light heavyweight to capture another world title before retiring.

                            Diggles is 100% right.

                            Another 30 seconds and the referee would have stepped in to save him.

                            I admire Bhop for taking that beating in the 12th, but even I found it tough to watch at times.

                                As I've said in my first post, Froch has clearly realised that no one really wants to see this fight and the financials aren't great. He'd make more fighting DeGale in the UK.

                                    i don't understand why he wouldnt want an easy tune-up fight against degale just to keep busy and make some dough.

                                        Froch is right....BHop is STILL a dangerous opponent....I know that sounds crazy after Frankenstein took him down that dark alley and mugged him but Frankenstein and Froch are 2 different monsters imo
