    He stays around the same weight year round and is probably always fighting Way Bigger men and stills is the nuber1/2 at the division. He should get more respect for this feat.

    He isn't that small at SMW at all.

    Not big for the weight surely, but not as undersized as AA for example.

    Hes taller than Kovalev with a decent build. He could easily move up to LHW. Same goes for Ward.

    An amazing heart, a great engine and an iron clad jaw line will get fighters who lack the reach advantage and natural size to be top dog...Froch has all three of those attributes in abundance.

    Since when is Froch a small SMW ? He's huge in the ring, his slim but not small, ffs. And his reach is actually huge to.

    WTF, are you blind? he's a big SMW. Just because he doesn't bloat that doesn't mean he's small stupid.

    Jimmy Jim, I'm beginning to worry about you. First you say that Thurman and Maidana would turn down $2 million to face Porter and now Froch is a tiny 168lber?.

    I think what he is saying is that Froch's natural weight is around 168 lbs and he fights at that weight.

    Froch doesn't diet , lose 10 lbs and then dehydrate and 20- 15 lbs of water weight . Lilke most fighters that like to cut large amounts of weight to beat up smaller men.

    Froch isn't small. He's just got a wirey frame and doesn't
    hold much water weight. If he did, he'd walk around at 185+
    because of the bloat. He's as strong or stronger than anybody
    at his weight because of the lean muscle and lack of dead weight,
    which also gives him mad stamina.

    Froch could at least cut to middle or jr middle if he played these dehydration and diet games most fighters play. Instead Froch fights guys that weigh 185 + while hes at a fight night weight of about 168.
