    Who wins: Hopkins or Carl Froch?

    Of course, it'd depend on where held.

    In UK, Froch would be able to get away with fouls.
    In the US, Bhop would try his nutcrunchers, elbows etc.

    Froch the better chin, Bhop better smarts.

    It's a close one.

            Except in UK, where Carl could pick him up and slam him to the ground w.o. deduction.
            Elsewhere Bhop.

              Hopkins in a dreadful fight to watch. Bhop was the king of winning ugly.

                If it was that old Hopkins that fought Calzaghe, then Froch wins. Froch handled Johnson, Abraham (prime), Dirrel (prime), Taylor (prime) (who beat Hopkins twice), Bute(prime) and Kessler(prime). The only man to beat him was a prime Ward, who said Froch was his hardest fight. Froch also had a tremendous engine and chin. Froch all the way

                    Sorry no disrespect I love your answer but one part of it I do t understand the word handled. I say this to say Dirrel definitely got robbed and Kessler may have as well.
                    So I wouldn’t say those two but the rest of your answer is spot on.
