Comments Thread For: Bernard Hopkins Slams Carl Froch: I Called Your Bluff!

[jas]

The reason froch gave for not fighting Hopkins is "what if I lose?"

Those are his words

And that's the real reason his fanboys don't wanna see the fight

Since when did it become cool to count a fighters pockets

Stevenson ducked kovalev but he's getting 2 mil a fight to fight the shotskys of this world.
According to the same logic used to defend froch ducking Hopkins to wait for Chaves , Stevenson should also receive a pass.

And is Chaves jr even available to fight froch?

You're the only fanboy here. Stop guzzling a 50 year old man's jizz.

Do people really believe that?

He obviously put it out there to gauge reaction which was overwhelmingly negative and he came to his senses. If he was really afraid, why would he even suggest it?

I don't think he's genuinely afraid, but I believe he does have some doubt. Truth is I would pick Froch to win if he fought Hopkins, but I wouldn't count Hopkins out.

Honestly I think Froch could blast him away, especially if Hopkins comes down to 168.

Hopkins is in a great spot. At the age of 50, any loss won't count against him, and any win makes him look extraordinary. I bet he can last 2-3 more years with this in mind.

He might as well fight DeGale if he's going to fight at the City Ground. Would probably bring a higher purse and it would be a better fight. More credit for the victory to knock off a young fighter who has been on top form than a pensioner who almost got killed in his last fight.

Yes he did all be it by a murderous puncher, Nottingham would be convenient for Degale but anywhere in England, would like to see it.

I just about hate Hopkins but still think he would beat Carl on points

This has been the case with him for like 5 years now.

Looked like death on TV vs Roy Jones - "he's old"

Beat Pascal - "amazing"

Quit against Dawson then dominated by Dawson - "he's old"

Beat Cloud and Shumenov - "amazing"

****d and almost killed by Kovalev - "he's old"

Been the case for a while.

Froch shouldn't even be taken serious as a World class fighter anymore. He has pretty much admitted that all he wants is paydays and fights at certain venues against certain fighters - who aren't world class opposition.

He DOES NOT want the #1 guy in his division, who already beat him. HE DOES NOT want to move to win a Light-heavyweight title because he believes that he cannot win against current title holders. You mean to tell me, winning another title at a different weight class DOES NOT excite you?

Kovalev would take that fight in a heart beat - except maybe he wouldn't because he is too busy making defenses against top 175 opposition while also waiting on the "Ring Champion" Stevenson to man up.

This fight would be totally boring styles makes fights and this would be a terrible fight!!
