    Agreed with all of that. Couldn't have put that better myself.

    That's even worse than comparing Froch to Marciano!

    I can see what the thread starter is getting at; unbeaten, solid chin, good power etc. but it is pretty unfair to be comparing someone who is in the middle of their career to a ATG that is held in such high regard, especially with the trouble Froch has had at world level so far.

    When his career is done, I think he will have more in common with Clinton Woods than Rocky Marciano :yep (That's not a dig at Clinton btw who had a very solid career).

    Why make a joke on your own joke of a thread?

    :-(Marciano was vastly over-rated, horrible style, horrible to watch, totally limited in skills, so yeah, very similar to Froch
