    And?
    You missed my point saying Froch got knocked out in his amateur days.

    Froch's not met anybody with GGG's power yet.
    If Froch got knocked out in his AM days.
    There's a slim chance of it happening in this fight after a culmination of bodyshots.

    Height usually comes into play when one has a fantastic jab to utilize the distance.
    Froch's jab isn't keeping GGG off him all night.
    GGG has the power and speed advantage.
    Froch's Achilles's heel is speed.

    GGG also has elite boxing I.Q.
    Is the younger of the two.
    The hungrier of the two.
    Better boxer of the two.

    By not sticking his chin out and not headhunting early, bringing out the best of his multifaced jab and shoulder movement while keeping low to get inside Froch's optimum range (he requires full extension to generate top power) and working Froch's ribs. Countering if Froch tries to throw something too big too close.

    Where GGG might get in trouble is if he tries to headhunt with something big from too far away and Froch fights tall, similar to how Kovalev did vs Hopkins.

    Who are these 'small' MWs he is fighting? Rosado? Who else? I've never seen him look remotely hurt.

    No eveidence to suggest we should doubt his chin, not enough evidence to suggest it's cast iron either.

    I can't see GGG fighting from range. Counter a jab with a hook, get up close and work the body. Yeah, that's his gameplan.
    He'll rack up the rounds this way.
    Froch has a chance if he ties GGG up, pushes him away and reverts back to his jab.
    GGG may start getting careless if this happens.
    He's not winning the war of jabs.

    Froch has a great jab.
    GGG isn't particularly fast of hand.

    GGG will win but not for the reasons you outlined.

    Remember when Geale stopped Golovkin in his tracks? Well, until .5 seconds later when Geale was on the floor.

    GGG isn't fast is he?
    Weird. He throws about 100 punches per/rd on average and most of them are power punches which connect with almost 50% accuracy.

    Seems fast to me.
    Much faster than Froch for example.

    Froch is also old and inactive. He will have hard time making the weight IMAO. Also Jermain Taylor was about the same size as GGG and almost knocked out Froch.

    Where did you get that he throws 100 punches/round? He averages around 70 thrown. And half of those are jabs.

    He does not have fast hands. He is incredibly accurate with massive power and very, very good timing.

    He is certainly faster of hand than Froch but Froch has very slow hands.

    I'm looking at the stats for Rosado and Stevens
    GGG vs Stevens
    Total
    293/794 37%
    Jabs
    108/413 26%
    PP
    185/381 49%

    Vs Rosado
    TP
    208/492 42%
    Jabs
    96/253 38%
    PP
    112/239 47%

    Those are stats vs arguably the two best guys he's faced.

    Tell Stevens and Rosado GGG isn't fast.

    The...two...best...guys...he's...faced :rofl:rofl:rofl That tells me all I need to know about you. Monroe would comfortably UD Rosado. Murray, Geale, Proksa, Rubio and Macklin were all at least 1 level above these 2. Murray/Geale/Macklin are 2 levels above.

    Stevens was his highest ever punch/round output in his entire compubox tracked career.

    And against Rosado he averaged exactly... 70 punches/round. Like I said... And like I said, over half his punches were jabs in both fights.

    You chose the 2 least defensively sophisticated opponents he's faced since Milton F*cking Nunez as examples and then then labeled them "the best guys he's faced".

    We're done here, come again. He does not have fast hands, nobody thinks this but you. GGG is my favorite active boxer by a good margin but be realistic...
