I have to ask everybody to rewatch Froch's win against Jermain Taylor. Froch has no rhythm, his balance and footwork is very poor, his stance with both arms around his waist ( when he's not a fast-handed puncher or a quick, smart mover) is all wrong, his offense is not that special since Taylor blocked and countered most of his absurd long uppercuts with jabs and rights over the top and he pushes a lot with his powerpunches ( not thrown in solid combinations)... And let's not forget that his positioning is basically wrong - the guy is wide open to eat flashy shots from the distance since he doesn't block and can not always avoid shots with reflexes and head movement and he gets in high danger, keeping his eyes off target when he exchanges bombs ( Taylor 3rd round Knockdown). Listen, Froch was extremelly game and he has a rock solid chin and that "Hammer of Thor" to make the best out of those but that doesn't say anything about his chances with Kessler, Taylor in the rematch, Bute and specially against Calzaghe who has everything he doesn't have - rhythm, fluid boxing skills, hanspeed, footwork and also ring experience.
Froch's two best wins are better than anything Bute or kessler have on their record.Therefore Froch is the 'man' at 168 until either Bute or Kessler do something spectacular(don't hold your breath)
Or you are over-rating Taylor WAY too much or you're a complete moron. I'll take both at the same time.:dead
You must be kidding me! The wins over Hopkins were partisan. Librado Andrade beats Taylor any day of the week. Andrade beats Froch.
you montreal lot talk out your ring pieces... one day you will have a genuine canadian star to talk about.... think il be long dead before that happens so its best you keep getting behind over hyped imports like bute and andrade...:good
we will see thunder as im sure froch v bute will happen....:good and you can join my official froch lovers club then... or maybe you will get behind the next overhyped fighter to fight out of the bell centre...........
I hope it happens,I agree with you there. And just for the record I already like Froch altough I don't rate him that high. After Bute beats him you can nuthug the next hype from Nottingham......
