Comments Thread For: Hopkins: Froch is a Coward, He's an Insult To Calzaghe

[texasboi15]

Honestly it sounds like he's begging for relevance.

Even so Froch can't fight an even older Hopkins than the one Calzaghe beat nearly a decade ago lol Joe would roast him!

B-Hop back to trash talking...really doubt he would beat a motivated Froch at this stage, especially in England...Bernard trying too hard.

Bernard 'Briggs' Hopkins.

[- Ram Raid -]

The man's a prizefighter. He wants to fight for a prize and the bigger the better. He's one fight removed from being the WBA and IBF World Champion. Both organisations still have ranked in the top 5 in the 175lb division.

He's 50 years old so there's an urgency to what he's doing, but the fact is, he's 50 years old and he's just fought Kovalev and now he's calling out Froch whilst men half his age prefer to have their careers steered on the path of least resistance.

He's willing to put himself in danger for a pay day. I was under the impression that that is what fighters do.

No he's not. When was the last time he actually fought in Vegas? No one wants to watch him fight. He's had to go to Canada to fight the likes of Pascal and he went to New Jersey to fight Kovalev where there's a big Russian community. Now he wants to come to Nottingham. The fight doesn't go to Vegas and isn't on HBO PPV. That's the reality.

Bhop is worth over $40 million so he most be popular somewhere and someone must be watching.

Why does Hopkins need to retire?

He lost a decision to arguably the #1 fighter at 175. Overall, he's lost only 3 fights in the last decade. And fact is he's been past his prime for over a decade.

He deserves a fight with any of the top dogs around his weight class. He probably still whopps Froch even at 50 years old. LOL

Because he's 50 years old and doesn't have anything left to prove. Continuing to fight will inevitably lead to permanent damage. Hopkins is also beyond just being past his prime.

It's obviously up to him but boxing us not a sport that's forgiving to your body if you hang around too long.

He's Oscar De La Hoya's bitc....I mean partner at Golden Boy. He doesn't make that much money for individual fights. That's why he's had to travel to places where the other fighter is popular. When did he last fight in Vegas?

So are you trying to say that Golden Boy has paid Bhop $40 million? That is pretty laughable!! And he fought Calzaghe in Vegas but not sure if has been there since. But he also fought quite often in AC so it not just because Kovalev is popular there. And it is right close to Philly after all.
