    True, Pavlik had 2 fights with Taylor and Taylor nearly won one of them by KO, but to be fair he dominated the second one.. How do you see a Pavlik and Froch fight?

    the Nr @ supermiddle is still to be determined, but Froch has done the most to earn that claim, got a feeling his next fight will solidify his Nr 1 status.....guys move on from Kessler hes wasted your time with his BS fraud matchmaking

    Yes.Andre Ward if he gets more experience.

    I'm not impressed with Froch at all.

    He would get beat by Froch, I dont see that one. I think Froch will be a better fighter for his win against Taylor, he was nervous as **** before that fight and quite rightly so. Froch had a bad fight against Taylor dont judge him on that performance..

    Froch is solid, and he's hungry. Essentially fearless as well. Pascal's last fight doesn't say anything about Carl though, he was fighting someone else. If anything, you can put all those guys on about the same level - which is how high? We don't know, but people have their suspicions.

    I'm not.I've seen him many times.

    I just don't think he's anything close to what he's hyped.

    I think he will be left outside of the picture soon.

    Frch is more atheletic than pavlik.PAavlik is sooo sllll lll ll owwww. I reckon FROCH will suprise people. I think he has a good chin.power and speed adv over Pavlik. The way Pavlik went down to Taylor compare that to Frochy.Forchy got up like it was nuffin.And Ah Pavlik was really stung!! I am picking FROCH, who I like, he is an exctiing fighter. I am taking him by TKO over Pavlik.

    Dunno which Yanks you're referring to.I just made a comment that he's hard and he showed great determination against Taylor.That toughness may carry him to the top of a tough division.That's all I wrote.I didn't see the Pascal fight.I've never seen Pascal fight.In fact the Taylor fight is the only fight I've seen Froch in."Crawling up his arse" indeed.It's easy to see why the rest of the world dislike the English as much as they dislike the Americans.

    Taylor was seconds away from beating him, he would definitely beat him in a rematch, which hopefully eventually happens.

    Add Pavlik and Abraham to your list. Pavlik because froch can't box for ****, and Abraham because Froch is so damn easy to hit.

    Froch is very underrated boxer.....styles make fights......speed is carl's problem, thats why he struggled with taylor.........

    pavlik on the other hand is a very simple guy double jab, and then right hand........froch would dispose of kelly imo........

    froch has underrated boxing skills.....the taylor fight will just make him better...

    Froch has terrible technique, which will be exposed by anyone with a good amount of speed and stamina. His stance leaves him wide open. He essentially has to block punches with his face.

    What he does have is great stamina, heart and timing. Which will take you along way in the sport even if his style is a detriment to his game.

    sorry to be the meanie and burst ya bubble, but Calzaghe, Hopkins and Kessler would all totally dominate him - very possibly shut him out
