    Totally agree. Froch outmanned every opponent I saw that tried to play that game. You needed Ward level skill and Ring IQ to get the decision. David just doesn't seem that imaginative. In fact, he's very unimaginative in the ring. Good thing he has a quality A game.

    Strongly disagree. Have you ever seen his punch placement with some of those combinations he throws? Those are combinations that most boxers DREAM of being able to throw much less land.

    **** alot of boxers would be able to land those if they also fought straight stiffers

    His combination punching combined with his speed is truly elite.
    And no many boxers could not do that.
