    The arms guy....I'm sure your perspective may also be interesting to read if you had a few extra brain cells to go with it...

    Now, If you don't wanna join respectfully into the convo, then please step outta the thread.:thumbsup

    It's more like you and bubble head that simply seem to have sensitive egos when it comes to one of yours..

    I love Froch, it's a legitimate question so if you feel butthurt, then move on cowboy..:hey

    Froch takes a lot to give more back, I think his style is pretty much dependant upon his ability to walk through the vast majority of **** thrown his way, otherwise he wouldn't be able to push people back. Bute was a perfect example, he ate everything, and they were decent shots, to give back far more.

    WAR FROCH

    Well...he does have a decent jab, therefore against guys that aren't too busy or regularly beat him to the punch, I think he would be alright.

    Froch is good to average in a lot of categories but outstanding at nothing and was landing at will. Grachev looks like a limited cave man and was touching him up all night. Chin aside I would say good to average at best.

    I'll post wherever the **** I like flower.Even in ridiculous threads like this if I fancy some car crash entertainment.
    Will that be a problem?

    That's unfair. You don't get to the level Froch is at being a terrible boxer and defensively abysmal. It wouldn't happen. Froch is good at a lot of things. His strength lies in his chin, heart, toughness, strength and confidence. Just because his boxing ability isn't his strongest asset doesn't mean he lacks such ability in good measure.

    And more to the point,would he be anywhere near the level he's at if he didn't have the chin he has? No.
    And it's painfully obvious to anyone with half a boxing brain,so why ask how a fighter who no one pretends has the skill of Ricardo Lopez would be without possibly his strongest asset?

    Nowhere near the level he's at,so the question is utterly redundant and is clearly agenda-driven.
    So I'll ask one? How good would Mike Tyson have been if he was born with no eyes?

    It's in fact a more reasonable assessment. You can't fight at the top relying only on chin and will. There are some elements for sure that will allow him to somewhat do well against the better opposition.
