    If we go back say ten years and pretend boxing had gone back to the original 8 weight classes how would froch's career have turned out

    So draining to middle early? Or always at LHW? I could see him forcing himself down to middle if its true about him usually being on weight without doing so at 168.

    Yeah, I think he would have made it without too much trouble.

    Heck, even JCC jr made the weight at some occasions!

    Ten years? You will need to go back longer than that mate!

    Not too good.

    He'd lose his power and he'd lose to a lot of slick fighters like Dirrell, Ward and any other boxer in SMW currently who would be in the lower weight also.

    Also Pavlik would have been there, GGG would be there currently, prime Martinez.

    Froch would scrape into the top 10 imo. Taylor at his natural weight also finishes the job.

    Why alternative realitys (this one does not make any sense) on how to beat Froch what a stupid and pointless thread with a majority of pointless answers....... Honestly! Live in the real world mate.
