    Would have been a good back and forth fight, but ultimately Canelo being the more sophisticated and technical fighter would have broke Froch down and would have won the decision.

    War.

    Canelo probably sleeps Froch some time after the tenth.

    Canelo “probably Irons Froch out”
    :deal:

    It would be a great back & forth match with either Froch utilizing his reach & height surviving to the 12th only to get robbed.

    Or Nelo indeed “ironing” the cobra out

    canelo is as tough as a froch or kessler, but simply a much more well-rounded fighter.

    I think Canelo is ultimately too skilled and talented for Froch, but Froch sure as HELLLLLL gives him a tougher fight than Smith and BJS.

    Froch mauls him and stops him late, after he jabs his head off for the first 7 or 8 rounds.

    So far Canelo has beaten John Ryder's leftovers and a blown up Middleweight at SMW. Froch is a SMW ATG. This has nothing to do with hating Canelo, and everything to do with common sense and logic. Kessler, Calzaghe and Ward beat Canelo down as well.

    kessler and froch are hard men with a limited skillset.
    neither were 'greats', they were gate keepers to the greats.

    canelo is a hard man with a much better skillset.

    Neither have limited skillsets. It's just that Ward's skillset is just next level. Also, without the "greats" securing wins over those two, they wouldn't be great now would they? So if they weren't great, then how do we call the greats... greats?

    Canelo's skillset isn't greater than theirs. Let's be honest. He's turned into a puncher, who has to rely on his power to bail him out. Without the KO shots on Saunders and Kovalev, had those matches gone to the cards, there'd have been a ton of controversy.

    Froch was talking tongue in cheek regarding getting ''ironed out''. He believes he would win the fight and said so.
    Years ago (when Canelo was a grown man) nobody would believe Canelo could even hurt Froch.
    The fact boxing fans now think Canelo would stop Froch, who has taken bombs from 6ft power punchers like Groves, Kessler and other far bigger guys than Canelo, just shows how ridiculous Canelo's transformation has been.

    The way things are going, Canelo could one-punch Beterbiev later this year, smashing a hole through his ribcage, and his harem would keep telling us about his hard work and natural talent.

    Canelo has more layers, more depth to his game...I love Froch but he’s not beating Canelo.

    If george groves can almost beat Froch (as he did in their 1st fight) then by logic maybe Canelo has a chance....lol
