Thread: Stevenson's promoter sees no problem with setting up Hopkins fight

Stevenson is made to order for Hop: a guy with questionable stamina who is constantly looking for the one big punch.

Hop has been making guys that look horrible for decades.

B hop will take the young boy back to old school and make him learn his ABC's. Then the Alien needs the 175 showdown with Kovalev and then have the supreme showdown with Froch If this happened I would be a happy man

Crazy as it sounds, I actually think Froch has the right style and mentality to beat Bernard at this point of their careers. Froch will force a fast pace and not over think while he is in there. He will miss a lot and take some hard counters, but he is just mobile n fast enough n can box enough to outhustle BHOP at this point. I don't like that match up for Hop at all.

Since when does Froch force a fast pace?

Carl doesn't move his head after he punches at all...he's a sitting duck.

Stevenson is a whole lot more dangerous than Chad Dawson.

Have to disagree with you, Sir. Hopkins is very good at dictating the pace of his fights.
I would love to see Froch beat Hopkins but I don't think he has the speed, movement or experience to get the job done.
Froch is tough and tough minded but he's no Calzaghe, in my opinion. BTW, I'm glad he doesn't fight like Calzaghe.

OH MY GOD would Froch get embarrassed by Hopkins. Holy shit would that be one sided as all hell.

Froch does not fight or punch fast enough to trouble a light heavy B Hop, busier younger fighters have tried. Froch is not like Joe, Tayler or Dawson.

Ah, maybe u guys are right. Froch isn't as fast or gifted as Joe, Taylor, n Dawson, but he has that mentality to force the fight and is strong enough to mannandle hop b wear him out. I agree that he isn't as mobile as the other guys, I just think he is strong enough mentally and physically to force a fight that wears hop out and let's him get the decision.
