Rate Froch as a finisher.

Well that makes it allright then, cause 8¾+8½=17¼ and 8+9=17 so there's only a ¼ difference :yep

 

first of all you can only finish once it has been set up. to say he did not finish Ward/johnson is not even worth discussing as he never hurt them.

But against Taylor & Bute you saw how he can finish a hurt fighter. drops his hands, stands back to give himself space to work and pick his power shots well.

On the flip side - Against AA he could have finished him but he was too wary of his power so he never dropped his hands. but then he did not need to finish him.

he is a great finisher (9/10) - compared to someone like Haye who KO's more people but is a sloppy finisher, gets all wild when he smells blood or someone like Wlad who is just tires people out then BAM... one punch ends it.

 

I love Froch (I'm British and love him regardless) but a top fighter with a big punch should finish someone retreating to the ropes that much. Still it only took him 2 and half round to do it, when Bute was in trouble, which is a testement to his finishing ability. The smart gameplans against Glen Johnson (not to mention how tough they are) meant he was never gonna finish them, Pascal showed a lot of balls in there fight as well.

 

I gave him a 7. He slaps with his left and uncorks with his right. He is above average but not great.

At least 8 out of 10, possibly a 9. I'd give him 10 but sometimes he's too eager to get the stoppage when he has his man hurt.

 

Good and patient enough to stop and fix this trunks whilst in the midst of a finishing.

 

Great line.

For the record, I give Froch an 8. He is damn good at finishing opponents, but doesn't really carry the one punch KO power to warrant a 10, plus he leaves himself open for return haymakers.

 

I think he's closer to an 8 than a 9, maybe an 8.3??
