Life after Calzaghe

I think he'd lose all of them.

His best chance would be against Pavlik, because he's easy to hit and has been hurt a few times. That said, Pavlik is more skilled than Froch overall, if Froch took as many from Pavlik as he did from Pascal he'd be in trouble.

 

He'd lose to Hopkins and kessler,but probably stop Pavlik in a great fight.

 

I think Hopkins would school Froch in the most extreme way possible. Kessler would brutalize him. He might have a chance against Pavlik, but I would still consider Froch the significant underdog.

 

The title of this thread is like some kind of oxymoron.

 

Haye, Mitchell, Froch, Cleverly, Fury, DeGale, Groves, Khan. one of these will make big impact over the next 5 years.

froch loses to all them boys, i think he will struggle with taylor

 

Its easy to assume Froch will take over from where Joe left off but in reality that would be asking too much. Currently the division is reasonbly competitive, and I wouldnt give him too much hope against Kessler.

Pavlik would be a very good fight, as his limitations have been proven, but he would have to improve defence as Kelly can bang.

 

Cleverly has skills but he lacks the punch power for world class level.

 

I honestly think that Cleverley has already found his level

 

What you think Cleve will stay @ commonwealth level his entire career ? personally i think due to his age its a tad early to be judgemental on his career as its very early doors yet .

 

Froch is not the future. One, he is limited, unproven, and will get schooled by any of the elite at 175/168.

Two, he is in his thirties, and wont improve so....plus he aint got exposure here let alone stateside, and wont get the big fights, and if he does, he gets beat - starting with JT.

We are pretty ****ed really. Hatton could reinvigorate his career and British boxing with a win over Pac, but it aint likely, he will probably get retired.

Similair scenario with Haye I fear. He has a superfight looming, but he HAS to win that to go forward, and he is a big underdog. If he does beat Wlad, I guess he will stir up a lot of hype and interest over here, it would be great....but there is only one other superfight available for him, ie Vitali, and I reckon if he somehow pulls out the two wins there (very speculative) he will retire anyway.

Froch wont do much, Khan might, dunno.....but I fear we will have to wait a few years until we get a truly elite star who is here to stay.
