I think Jr will definitely have some moments. . . I just think Froch has more than enough stamina, and strength, to utilize his superior hand, and foot speed to win majority of the rounds by keeping the fight at his preferred distance. . . But he will definitely have some rough moments. . .
This is a tribute to Jr's improvement. Froch is a elite world class fighter & undisputed #2 at 168lbs. I'll be happy with Jr. Smashing Martinez first. Then we can talk Pimp.
My pick goes to Froch due to durablity, a bit stronger and can take a punch...Jr looked good against Lee, but Froch is a whole different fighter. I need to see Jr against Martinez first before I could actually try to break it down. ( a lil bit better atleast)
The fact that he has a 20lb advantage on everyone he fights is why he looks so good. In order to be considered the better of the two he will have to move up to 168 and beat Froch.
Chavez won't be able to bully the 168 pounders like he does at 160. Froch would through him a beating, as would Kessler and Ward. Pavlik and him would be a good scrap though. Both guys are Top Rank fighters so I wouldn't be surprised if they fight sometime in the foreseeable future.
Froch in a 3rd round KO! Reason? Too much skill! By the way, Top Rank is much too smart to make that fight!
I would love to see JCC Jr and Pavlik as well Pavlik needs to beat someone within the top 10 and that fight should be made after the Martinez fight.
man would I love to see this. A victory for Froch would seal his legacy, along with a win over Kessler (IMO beating Kessler would be alot tougher).
yeah he would be able to but not so much that it dictates the fight, and froch isn't great on the inside but he's sufficient and can get rough, in addition to being able to step back and box with significant strength physically and in his punches.
Its a tribute to Freddie Roach's coaching skills that JCC Jr has improved so much that ESB thinks he is worthy of taking on Froch.
