    The first part of your post is borderline ******ed, the rest of your post IS your opinion.

    His awkwardness is due to his unique style and timing....

    Not his torso size

    Good read....

    he may have abnormal length, plus he fights tall because of his style....

    Didn't you have him beating kessler?

    Would you describe him as a pressure fighter vs taylor?

    He's more of an unorthodox backfoot fighter these days, he like to jab and slip and lunge I have no idea how he gets away with it but he does.

    He's wide open to that right hand but his chin is solid enough to take the shots.

    Froch doesn't mind a good tear up but he always admits when that happens he has abandoned his game plan.

    His power has definitely been exposed at the top level. He can hurt but aint taking anyone out with one shot.

    You probably also said that Jermain Taylor and Roy jones would have destroyed Carl Froch and Joe Calzaghe :yep

    Barely took a step back against Froch?

    You can stop pretending you've watched the fight now.

    Dirrel lost to Froch because he was running and holding.

    That is your primary reason for your hate against Froch and "Brits".

    And to be honest, I think there are PLENTY of Americans that like Froch and people that believe Dirrel could of and should of done more to win that fight. But if you REALLY think only people from UK like UK fighters and if people from the USA are the only people that like USA fighters then you really are an utter ****ing idiot.

    i think the word you're looking for is... analysts

    HOWEVER, I do know what OP is getting at. Because Froch is a hard ******* people seem to create this idea of him as some Mexican-esque brawler who batters his opponents, which really isn't the case. He tends to stalk his opponents in the late rounds and fights using his reach and doesn't do well on the inside.

    /

    WAR FROCH. Dunno why guys hate on him. One of the most exciting fighters in the sport today, who'll fight anyone anywhere. Then you get pussies like Dirrell who pretend to be KO'd and "retire" so they don't have to fight somebody better than them

    After reading MW's thread,i decided to deal with this argument scientifically.I consulted the head of Biology,and the head of Physics at the school my wife teache's .

    There answer was this......

    Froch has marginally longer arms than your average 6'1 man.

    MW has an exceptionally small brain for a human being.

    Haha.

    I was under the impression everybodys wingspan was greater than their height in inches (normally by 2 or so)?

    I'm 6'0/1 and have 75'' reach

    Look at any boxers, normally their reach will be a few inches over their height

    I'm pretty sure he said the exact same thing you are saying.
