    He's abit of a different class to Froch on view alone.

    I understand what you are saying, but in respect of G-Man-Froch, Carl would be put under mopre pressure than he has been & that includes his wins over Pascal & Taylor.

    Just because G-Man could not finish Benn does not mean he would not be able to finish Froch! Benn was like superhuman that night, he fought the fight of his life & would never be the same again!

    Froch is durable but I still think McCllelan has the power to hurt him! G-Man by TKO within five rounds!

    Let's be realistic.

    McClellan was blowing Jackson out of the ring twice in Las Vegas when he was 24-25 years old - Froch wasn't even a professional boxer yet at the same stage. McClellan beat a young Roy Jones. There's little comparison.

    I'd probably go for Gerald McCllelan early. Same view as every one else, Carl takes too many punches.

    let Carl have a few more fights before he is crucified for being overrated.... it took a while for Calzaghe to show his talents...i dont like Calzaghe much but he is a great fighter...i dont think that Froch is a great fighter now...and if matched up with Gerald based upon what he has done to this point in his career I feel his face would be hamburger meat by the fourth or fifth round.,..... and wouldnt make it much further past round 8.....

    Carl´s better than alot of you guys think. If i were to fight in super six he would be the last opponent i´d pick. He is clearly not the best boxer, but you know its going to be war in there and anything can happen. Kessler called him the only real man in Super Six besides himself haha and im sure the other boxer in Super Six have great respect for him no matter what trash they speak. Alot of people see Carl Froch as a limited fighter but hes not that limited. Its impossible to become an Amateur World Champion if you´re very limited and his pro record speak for itself. Carl´s biggest problem is his style such a style doesn´t allow him to have a long career. Eventually i see him getting dropped and not beating the count. The question is ...how many top fights does he have left in him ?

    Both Gerald McCllelan and Nigel Benn would loose to Carl Froch
