    Just noticed he at the "bottom of the league table" in Copubox's plus/minus connect % and yet he's a unified World Champion at 168.

    It tells us he is vastly over rated and in fact just an ordinary Euro fighter.

    he's a limited fighter who loves to throw uppercuts from halfway across the ring, but he makes up for it in tons of heart and chin

    No doubt that from a technical stand point he is flawed. He wastes a lot of punches and quite frankly has an ugly style. But that's the thing about Froch. Looking at him you'd think he was a domestic level fighter, he's slow, sloppy, light for the weight but through sheer will and self belief is capable of performing at a high level successfully.

    So in terms of what it tells you about Froch, it' clear that his greatest asset is not his physical attributes or technical skill but his self belief and determination. Will over skill.
