Although this is still a very long way from happening, i can see why hopkins would be interested in this fight. Froch is an undefeated champion who has recently made a name for himself by stopping jermain taylor, but has flaws that could well make him easy pickings for a ring general like b-hop. If they do fight, I don’t think it’s even close (assuming time hasn’t belatedly caught up with hopkins), and it would be another strong accomplishment to (possibly) end his career on.

What he doesn’t mention, of course, is that is froch gets his ass kicked, then his superstar status will probably diminish, rather than grow

And I guarantee you Hopkins will call out Froch on FNF this week, just like he called out Adamek a few weeks ago, and the end result will be the same. Froch brings a lot less money to the table than Adamek or even Chad Dawson.

He’s a lot less of a threat, and Froch may well be eaiser to dictate to money wise than Adamek or Dawson, and its the easiest way to (again possibly) finish on a high.
