Bernard Hopkins took to twitter to call out Carl Froch for passing him up for the likes of Julio Cesar Chavez, Jr., something Julio didn't take too kindly.

@Carl_Froch u r a fraud!! U don't have confidence to fight me? Chavez is easy picking — BERNARD HOPKINS EX (@THEREALBHOP) February 8, 2015

Chavez Jr. caught wind of the comment which sort of started a firestorm, with Jr. firing directly back at Hopkins.

@THEREALBHOP You call yourself a legend? A dirty , coward fighter !, Who doesn't give the fans a show. I can't smoke whatever you say but — Julio Cesar Chavez (@jcchavezjr1) February 11, 2015

@THEREALBHOP I never faked an injury or being a coward like you where with Chad Dawson — Julio Cesar Chavez (@jcchavezjr1) February 11, 2015

Some people are intimating that perhaps all of this is to drum up some interest in a Hopkins-Chavez Jr. fight now that Froch is on the sidelines with an injury. Would any of you out there be interested in a fight between B-Hop and Jr.?
