    All well and good starching opponents out in 1 round BUT who exactly had he fought on a world class level before Benn?
    Jackson is the only name that partially jumps out at me!

    As much as I like Froch his face-first defence would be absolutely suicidal against someone with the punching power of McClellan, Gerald stops him in 6, cracking fight while it lasts though.

    This one is pretty easy in my view. Mclellan early Ko ...and i dont have any real doubt at all

    I like Froch....but he seems way to easy to hit. Mcclellan has incredible power and he would end it early. Taylor was catching Froch with all sorts early on and even had him down...and Taylor had knowher enear the power Mcclellan had

    I didn't belittle Taylor, i made a point that Taylor, who no one considers a big banger, had Froch down. He hurt him with one straight right and then put him down with another. Mcclellans best punch is the straight, as someone said, put 2 and 2 together and Froch laid out is what you get.

    Yeah. Was that not because Benn was bashing the living **** out of him?

    Look at Froch's defence. Look at McClellan's power. End of story really isnt it.

    Benn has always been easy to hit...

    How did that help Gerald?

    Don't you know? Anyone in the past is elevated to god status on ESB. Anyone from the past would destroy anyone from the present without breaking a sweat. That said, I'd pick G-man over Froch, but it wouldn't be no ****ing walk in the park.

    Everyone knows your predicting Froch to win only because you're a Kessler nuthugger, and Kessler it seems is facing Froch next.

    To compare the fighters that you did is laughable, they are not in the same league. By this I mean Pascal and Taylor are not in the same league as Jackson or Benn.

    By suggesting that they are you failed, hard.
