    A fight that's sure to turn into an all out brawl between two guys who are tough as nails. Who wins this fight of the year candidate?

    Froch would do well to get through a press conference or weigh-in with Barkley.

    Barkley.

    Barkely stops him. Styles make fights and Barkley is all wrong for Froch

    Froch would outbox and out time Barkley with his jab and straighter punches. Even inside Froch has the uppercut to hurt Barkley

    Froch went in here with much bigger punchers and bigger men than Barkley.

    If a fat Duran can drop Barkley, so can Froch.

    You needed speed to drop Froch, Barkley was as slow as the proverbial tortoise.

    He threw his strange uppercut from outside, but couldn't use it when he stepped up competition.

    Froch isn't out-boxing anyone, let alone a guy taller and almost as rangey as him (and bigger and stronger).

    I can't recall any big punchers that Froch faced. Good luck to Froch applying the skilled pressure for 11 rounds that Roberto Duran did to accumulate fatigue and attrition in Barkley.

    Your wrong, The Blade was tough but also dumb, take Welter Hearns out the equation and who’s he beat that was as good as Froch ? Doubt he was stronger either

    Groves hit blatantly harder and better delivery than the crude Blade

    Iran would be in his face and make this a grueling insight fight. This fight is all wrong for Froch. He is not beating Barkley on the insight.

    Nunn, Kalambay and Maske aren't particularly effective inside and all clearly beat Barkley

    Nunn and Kalambay are better boxers and technicians than Froch, you know. Against Maske, Barkley was shot. It is just that Froch barely escaped with the decision against Johnson, yet Iran is going to bring a lot more heat and pressure. I see Barkley getting through with the hooks, Froch has his hands too low. Carl is an excellent fighter who was always will to face the best but this fight is all wrong for him
