    If he could take a shot he'd be even worse than he is now I reckon. He'd just be in wars and get beaten up all the time (like he does now)

    If he had Froch's ability to take a punch he'd soon be sounding like Meldrick Taylor.

    Sad but true.

    No. He was beaten by Peterson because he was the lesser fighter, not because he has a poor chin. It's not just his chin that's a problem, he's predictable on the attack and too easy to hit.

    No, he is sill very sloppy technically. Peterson didn't give him hell via a weak chin. Even Garcia was beating him technically and put him down multiple times.

    Tall, rangey, fast but too herky jerky with poor punching technique.

    He'd still have terrible defence and no inside game. Would do better against sluggers like Prescott mind you.

    If Bute beats Froch in a rematch I WILL leave this forum permanently.

    Unlike someone who pledged to do so!

    It would deffo help, but i think his chin is the main problem, its his defence and his mind set in the ring, its looking like Hunter is trying to address these issues, we should find one or two signs Dec 15th, but the real test will be next year when Khan tries to get Garcia or Peterson back in the ring.

    I dont think Garcia wants to rematch Khan, lets see who they after Molina barring Khan beats him ofcourse.

    He'd be undefeated.

    He would have stopped Maidana as well.

    It's not really his chin, he's taken big shots before Garcia KO, it's his defense that's the problem which causes him to get hit!

    He would still eventually go down because he gets hit too easily, he is one dimensional and does not have anything that resembles a defence.
