Not putting down Vitali in anyway, but Vitali fights with large height/reach/weight advantages due to the nature of the division, if Froch did the same then he would probably look just as skilled as Vitali has.
I've said it before Vitali's whole reputation and credibility as a fighter is based on 6 losing rounds to an out of shape Lennox Lewis. Other than that what memorable fights has he been involved in? He shouldn't be mentioned in the same sentence as Froch.
Froch has the greater resume, by far. As for Vitali being the 2nd least hit boxer, I'm sure Froch could do the same fighting men with the equivalent size disparity. Having a legacy based on losing to a fat, old, unmotivated Lewis isn't really a lot to shout about. "but but but he was ahead on the cards..." cry me a river, he was getting beaten up, wobbled and the tide had turned. TKO6
Froch is already (at least) as awkward and slow as Vitali standing 6ft1, he would be a lethargic and uncoordinated heavyweight at 6ft7.
I love how in your original op you give credit to froch and then as soon as people disagree with you and say froch is the better fighter you throw a hissy fit an start insulting people and slating froch Froch is on another level to vitali, look at their resumes.
Froch's best win is Bute, same as Golovkin's, except Golovkin stopped Bute with the headguard on. :deal
Who ? (A shot Kessler, A questionable hometown SD vs Dirrell, a comeback stoppage against a 2 time Pavlik victim, an old Glen Johnson, an undersized Abraham that has no good win at 168 ? )
