    I bet after the Super Six, Froch will continue to take on the best. He also didn't punk out of the competition to avoid a tough challenge like Dirrell.

    Thats why he grew on me. I used to hate on him all the time but damn the mans recent resume is impressive and one of the best at the moment. I have him in my top 10 p4p.
    The guy made a whole new transition in his last fight.
    It will be interesting to see if it wasnt just a fluke. If he can box like that against anyone then i think he beats everyone at 168. I did not know that Froch had that type of skill.

    i feel sorry for froch. he's fought some good competition and most people in his own country don't know who he is. thats general tv disinterest in boxing and PPV for you...

    that said his heart and his chin only gets him so far. I thought that Kessler beat him and thought his boxing was pretty poor on the night. he kept stepping in behind his cross and standing flat footed in front of kessler
    Ward beats him. But, Carl's got enough to make it a competition

    Pascal and Taylor fights were before the super 6, surely it was a statement of intent.

    Taylor and Pascal were nothing special at 168lbs...

    I've been watching Froch since the early days and, I must admit, I never thought he'd be this successful at the top level. He's slowly turned me into a fan and his recent level of opposition is outstanding.

    I actually have him in just inside my P4P top 10.

    Your right there! Froch won't duck anyone. Would have liked the Calzaghe fight, Joe had bigger things ey.

    Froch-Ward next, another quality fighter. Rematch with Pascal, Hopkins, Bute, Cleverly... Many to choose for Froch, win or lose against Ward!

    Froch has still not beaten an all time great, all of his win's are aginst good opposition but not great oposition. He still doesn't have a BHop on his record. I always ask what is Froch's best win? Pascal?- beaten by a 46 year old BHop, Taylor? KO'd twice by Pavlik and by Abraham, Dirrell?- Most people think he lost that fight, Abraham?- He'd already been beaten by Direll.

    But there isn't anyone claiming Froch is an ATG so what are you talking about? It's about the consistency of quality opponents he's taken on over the last few years.

    I presume gibson1 you view ward as having done nothing special yet either?

    I've just looked into my crystal ball,i seen Froch beating Johnson with ease,then beating Ward to win the super 6,i also seen numerous posts from the children on ESB saying Johnson was over the hill,and Ward was overated.LMFAO

    No way johnson will be an easy ud win for froch! But its a win that he has to get! doesnt matter how he does it but i believe he can get the job done cause he is also tough and the fresher man!
    you never know! if johnson comes in with the same attitude as in the green fight froch will be in deep...
