    I'm not sure how accurate that is, but even if so, Froch has a far far lower bodyfat percent so is naturally much bigger. Agreed on Froch not being a great in fighter, but his uppercut against a smaller pressure fighter would find a home

    His uppercut is horrendous, like a Shoryuken.

    He did not lack "mobility" as Robinson called him the fighter that gave him more pressure than any other man. This is not a fighter that lacked "mobility." LaMotta was past his prime when he became MW champ. His prime was actually around 46-49.

    Froch is maybe too big and rangey. However, seeing an old Johnson give Froch some issues with his activity. I can imagine LaMotta out-hustling Froch somewhat easily. LaMotta fought Lloyd Marshall. Marshall was a decently framed MW and awhile LaMotta lost he surged well to make it a fight. I don't know the stylistic implications as there's no film of Marshall (None that I know of anyway) (Marshall is clearly superior than Froch obviously).

    Both men are capable of winning.
