    I've just seen Froch twice, against JT & Dirrell. I haven't seen anything that indicates he has this insane chin that many on this board claim. He just started fighting world class guys who aren't even hard punchers & he has been getting rocked. Once he fights someone with legit SMW power, he will be getting knocked out consistently.

    Ye I saw Froch's legs go at one point. I don't think his chin stands up to the power of the elite level as well as it did domestically.

    I agree his chin hasn't looked great in his last 2 fights though what he does seem to do is recover pretty quickly,, saying that i think MK and AA will both knock him out

    Both of those guys' styles will be much more to Froch's liking. It's hard to look good against a guy who fought like Dirrell did :)dead).

    Hes way too open for Abrahams right hand which is scary if they fight.

    I think his chin and power have been overrated for some time now. Superb recovery though.

    abrahams right is very telgraphed though, an a level super middle fighter with good stamina should be able to avoid it through 12

    + Froch is good at judging distance, nipping in and out of range. Are they meant to be fighting after Froch fights Kessler or something?

    Yeah I haven't seen his highly regarded power either. Now with AA, even though he hasn't fought that many world class guys, every time he punches, you can just tell this man has alot of power.

    Froch is really just a poor fighter. I'm amazed he got this far in his career. I give him credit for being in shape & his determination, but he's just a bad fighter.

    Abraham is going to KO them all, then he's going after Paul Williams, Cotto, Mayweather. This man cannot be stopped. His defence is so good, he is so strong and he is the hardest hitting fighter in the world. :patsch

    I think Froch's chin has gone a little. Maybe the wars are catching up to him. I remember before he walked through punches like nothing and now.. he can be rocked.

    I don't think he will have that much longer of a career. Every fight using his face to block punches is going to bring your punch resistance down. Was surprise to see him put his hands up to block yesterday. First time I have seen him do that I think.
