    Froch has been hurt plenty of times, against Kessler, Pascal, Taylor, Ward, Dirrell, just off the top of my head. Maybe not badly, but he feels shots, and relies on being able to stand up to them. I think Kovalev has a different kind of power than any of those guys. I'm not even saying Froch would get stopped, but I don't think that's a foolish prediction given that he's never fought at 175 either and is getting up there. Most guys aren't Hopkins, Froch has been in some wars and has always been a big super middle, there is no reason to think he can beat Kovalev.

    Kovalev didn't TKO Hopkins, so that means he can't take out Froch? What kind of lame logic is that? Hopkins is a wily old veteran who's never been stopped. He knows every trick in the book, and his game at this stage is all about survival. He'll retire without getting knocked out. Froch is a come-forward, tough brawler. The type of style that either gets the opponent in trouble.... or him in trouble. Not saying it's a foregone conclusion, but I can see where Kovalev could foreseeable take out Froch.

    Father time waits for no man, Hopkins included the tough SOB went the distance with a murderess
    puncher, I don't like him but hat's off to him.
    Kovalev had age on his side, Hopkins had experience on his, this time round age came out on top
    fair play to Hopkins taking the fight, as not many wanted any part of Kovalev.

    I agree. Hopkins deserves credit for taking the fight and proving that Kovalev is not invincible. I have never been a great Hopkins fan, for me he has always been a spoiler, probably the best. No disrespect to Kovalev but a division that has a 50 year old champion cannot be in good shape. Bernard fought and won in a much tougher division before moving up into a weaker division. I feel a bit sorry for Kovalev, he could be a great champion, but who is there to give him a serious challenge and give him a chance to prove his ability. Bernard is a phenomally fit person with good attitude but should he carry on? I would like to see him hang up his gloves on a good note rather than being on the undercard.

    Carl is a great crowd pleasing fighter. I love watching his fights. But Kovalev? I don't think so. Leave him well alone Carl.

    No doubt in my mind Kovalev beats Ward now. Just too skilled and too strong. Froch gets destroyed by Kov too but it aint ever happening. Froch aint that stupid.

    So he wasn't hurt after being dropped against Groves?

    Mate, if that round was 10 seconds longer it would have been Groves KO1.

    Froch is tough, he might not get stopped, but you can't say he wouldn't get stopped just because Hopkins didn't. Hopkins is a different case. Froch HAS been hurt and HAS been dropped. Kovalev hits harder than Taylor or Groves so it is conceivable that Kovalev could stop him.
    Hopkins has a better chin than Froch (Froch has a good chin) AND doesn't engage in the brawls that Froch does.

    I remember him rocked a fair few times against Pascal. Not wobbled but buzzed. Hopkins had never looked buzzed.
    Groves? Dropped him heavily, Froch legs gone, and hurt him several more times.

    Hopkin was a beast in this fight! He really took some good punches! Good head moves as well! I think he did good for his condition and his age! Glad kovalev won though! He might have a good career infront of him now! Hope he he cheers and drink a bottle of putinka! He's worth it! So am i!

    For Hopkins to go the full 12 was really remarkable, Archie Moore has nothing on Hopkins. Bhop was still sliding and rolling punches like a champ, but Kovalev fought a perfect fight.
