Comments Thread For: Hearn Warns Hopkins: Froch Virtually Unbeatable at Home

[Interloper]

Hearn didn't "warn" anybody. Please stop using that word in thread titles.

You don't warn your opponent whom you're hoping to beat in a contest. Makes absolutely zero sense, and that's not what was inferred from his statements.

Obviously if the fight happend anywhere in England especially in Nottingham Hopkins would have to Pavlik Froch to get a decision and even if he did that he'd probably win 7-5 or it'd be a draw.


I don't think B-hop cares though and would still take that fight in a heartbeat.

Honestly at this stage Froch beats Hop on U.S. soil...

So Hearn's having preliminary talks about making this fight happen. Looks like Bernard isn't 'begging for a payday', 'begging for relevance' and 'reaching' quite as far as some seem to think.

Negative.

Ward beats him everywhere else in the world but there. Froch wins by decision due to multiple point deductions from Ward for holding, inside fighting or whatever else they can get him on!

Cmon now they said Dirrell was running for Christ's sake lol fckers are capable of anything!

Are you saying Dirrell wasn't running? The one time I actually sat to score that fight, I did have Dirrell winning but to suggest that he wasn't running....and holding....A LOT is just being disingenuous.

And to say he dominated the fight is even worse. He was diving onto the ground and holding onto Froch for dear life for most of the fight. That doesn't suggest dominance.

'Begging for relevance' you heard me.

Who the fck wants to see Hopkins fight again?!

Lol Hopkins insisting Froch is scared of him after Kovalev dominated him in his last fight.

He's begging fck what you heard.

I think Hearn is far more open to the Hopkins fight than Froch is. I almost think Hearn talked him into even considering it. He's desperate to get his cash cow back in the ring as soon as possible.

Hopkins is 50 years old with 7 losses.

Froch is the biggest money fight out there, other than Chavez.

It wont hurt Hopkins legacy and its a big cash out for him.

Yep.

Andre Dirrell whooped him and still lost. Those who say he ran should re-watch the fight.

He did box and move yes, why would he stand and trade with Froch. Although the funny thing is, the times that he did, Dirrell won the exchanges, same as Ward did.

Dirrell outlanded him by some distance. That was a robbery as far as i'm concerned. I've seen that fight a few times and struggle to even score it a draw, i don't see any swing in favour of Froch.

Translation=we will rob you if you win

That's basically what I took away from that.
