    So Froch has 'heavy handed' world class power, then why has he only stopped 3 out of the last 10 opponents?

    Groves is being abit overrated. He's not that slick. Remember his hit and run tactics against Degale didn't work that well. That was a very very close fight. He was getting tagged more and more as the fight went on by James

    you seem to be looking for something thats not there, where did i say anywhere his power heavy handed or not was world class? he hits hard enough to keep world class fighters off him and can carry his power late into fights as someone pointed out, its looks like your trying to make something out of nothing

    Yes the same guy who got brutally stopped by Kelly Pavlik and Arthur Abraham before he gassed out in the last round as he did against Froch.

    Erm, against Pavlik he was stopped mid-fight but anyway Taylor has long had stamina issues which were not a problem against a much older Hopkins.

    If the Dirrell fight had been in the States the decision would have gone the other way. Froch should have been deducted points for persistent fouling. What does Khan or Ortiz have to do with this? :think

    Pascal, Kessler, Ward, Dirrell have never been stopped before. Abraham and Glen johnson are hardly the type of fighters to get stopped often either.

    froch could fight for another 30 years and not touch down as much as dirrell khan or ortiz or taylor for that matter , they are boxers they hit the floor so you could class many fighters much much worse and bring them to your sh!t thread

    none , you went from opening a thread on frochs power then once it was established he had power you go on about his chin :huh , so when we mention other fighters chin as per say a mark to how good his chin is you play the obsession card , why dont you play a race one to :-( a **** is a **** is a **** and you should not go by any other name :deal

    i have often thought Frochs power is overrated!! i have seen him lace into people with dozens of flush punches and still not put his man down...also if he was very heavy handed boxers would not stand and trade with him...
