    doubt it'll happen, B-Hop isn't going down to 168, and honestly either way Hopkins would completely school Froch for 12 rounds
    yeah true if it did happen id imagine hopkins would want it at light heavy would froch accomodate that tho. and yeah i could see a schooling too, i think hopkins could be tempted, i no he got redemption when he beat pavlik for the taylor losses as close as they was, but maybe he would just want to prove himself one last time

    the one who would need the fight would be Froch not B-Hop, and honestly if Taylor was able to land that overhand right all night, i could see Hopkins drilling him with it over and over, seeing how Hopkins does have a better overhand right, i'd even go as far to say that Hopkins would win by TKO

    yeah of corse froch would need b hop not the other way round, and yeah id go as far to say that a hopkins ko is definately not out of the question, im just thinking of it that hopkins would see froch as an easyish fight, and he could go in there and get rid of a guy thats just knocked out the guy that put an end to hopkins middlweight reign. he might get a bit of personal satisfaction out of it i no i would.

    I think the Taylor fights were close enough (I felt he won them) that he's over it. Maybe he should fight Clinton Mitchell to finish it all off

    Would beating Froch prove anything though. Granted it was a great win but it does nothing for B-Hop's legacy, the only ones that would would be Dawson, Calzaghe & Adamek. Maybe Kessler if they could get the fight.

    it might prove something to hopkins personally deep down, as in he lost two fights to taylor, but to make up for that beat kelly pavlik and carl froch two guys who knocked taylor out, i would get alot of pleasure out of that
