    Glen by KO near the 8th. Froch will not know what to do with glen right in his face and I don't see froch really landing anything with any consistancy besides his Jab which I feel will get negated also. Froch will have to exchange because glen is going to get inside just as he done with more skillful, tactical fighters than froch. Glen is a nightmare for someone with poor defense, footspeed and average at best hand speed. Glen will get inside while not receiving too many clean shots from the froch. Glen will see them coming. Froch on the otherhand doesn't not have the ability to be offensive and defensive at the same time which glen can do and that will be the difference. The one who will be catching most of the big, unseen shots on the chin while swinging is Froch. He just does not have it in him to move his head while punching and glen will be capitolizing. Froch will be hurt while on the move by the big overhand gorilla club right hand of Johnson (possibly dirty to the back of the head). Then Johnson will finish him off.

    Johnson By KO inside 8 in a fight he dominates from the 3rd on.

    Chad Dawson is a pretty good fighter. Chad also is much quicker than Froch and is a better inside fighter.

    Do you think froch is capable of making this a outside fight with his jab,movement and trying to stay out of range?

    I can definitely see GJ winning. I think Froch has a puncher's chance, but a big one.

    Hell no. I think he could do it against AA but who can't. He either punched or guarded against AA but he didn't exchange. They just took turns swinging and thier was no counterpunching by either. Froch just swung alot more. He will not be able to do this with Johnson who will get inside and counter off of froch's Jab. I swear people are gassed about the AA fight but there was nothing special. It went like I thougt minus AA being a complete ***** and not counter at all.

    Glen Johnson by stoppage as well. Nothing to discredit Froch, but I think Johnson is just all wrong for him. It's the year of the upsets.

    All you did was say " I don't know anything about styles and attributes or why things happen, I just know the result of what happens". Froch is a KO waiting to happen and it is about to happen because this style of johnson is not good for someone as slow, and defensively flawed as froch.

    Hopkins is the only guy to stop Johnson on a TKO

    other than that neither guy has been stopped as a pro...

    Froch's workrate was greatly reduced in the Kessler fight, Kessler was landing some great straight rights to Froch's body.

    Johnson is a vicious body puncher, short, debilitating shots on the inside. Little uppercuts to the body. Basically lifted Green off of his feet with one.

    As far as I'm concerned Froch can't fight on the inside, and relies on feints and his jab a lot. Johnson is not going to respect either.

    Dangerous fight for Froch, but I see this fight on the distance, in favor of Froch (if he keeps GJ on the outside).

    I see Froch winning a disputed decision and Glen Johnson gets Glen Johnson'd.

    If Johnson stopped Froch, it'll be a TREMENDOUS accomplishment. I consider Froch a very difficult man to stop. He's resilient as hell. I think this is a fight where Froch needs to box and use his jab to try to control Johnson. He shouldn't get in too many heated exchanges with him.
