John Conteh vs Carl Froch

Well, clearly Conteh is to be favored in a strict boxing match. But in a fight? I'd suspect still yes, but it's interesting...

 

Dude...I remember. I watched all these fight in real-time. Conteh was the more skillful. Froch's in this with intangibles.

 

Yeah...and did Conteh do any of that IN FRONT OF EIGHTY THOUSAND FANS AT WEMBLEY?!

 

I like this one. As good as Froch was,a prime Conteh was just that one level above. Harder hitting too.

John Conteh UD 12/15.

 

Conteh could get down in the trenches when he had to especially fighting dirty with his head......

But I'll take Conteh to outbox Froch and win a clear decision.

 

Can you articulate for me why Rondon is a great win for Conteh?

 

Would make Conteh favourite here

 

Froch, a fine 168 pounder, stands no chance here. He is taller and longer than John, but that is about it. Stylish and tough Conteh has every other advantage, including chin and power. John by easy, not so close decision. Froch's toughness is the only thing that keeps him around until the end.

 

conteh, all day.

 

Admittedly I don't know much about Rondon outside of what boxrec tells me, which is that he was fighting losing records in the lead up to his battle with Conteh before going on a 5 fight losing streak and quickly retiring.

So the question is - and it's a sincere question - why should we put equal or greater value in beating Rondon over beating Arthur Abraham, a two-divisional world champion who made 10 successful defences of his IBF Middleweight title?
