    When this thread was created, veteran Pro Froch would grind out a win despite being floored.

    Today, it would be as you say.

    Carl’s low hands leave him open to hooks, Also look at the ward fight froch tried taking center ring In first round and within 30 seconds of getting tagged with a left hook he let ward take the middle of the ring and ward landed his hooks all night, also ward was stronger than him in the clinch and froch struggled on the inside.

    Beterbiev breaks him down and stops him mid to late rounds after bullying him for very long spells of the fight. I state again that low guard will not serve him well in a fight with a bigger stronger man like artur who punches with ill intention.

    froch never had a great defence or head movement and him being the smaller man with less power against a guy who likes to maul his opponents into submission is not a great recipe for success.

    Beterbiev/Pascal is a better fight.

    Pascal was getting an ass whooping from Beterbiev before AB even turned professional.

    Marc Ramsay said to AB "do you think you are ready for these guys?" and AB responded "do you think they are ready for me?" :lol: [Ramsay was referring to Eleider Alvarez and Jean Pascal]

    It was mentioned in the Q&A leading upto the Gvozdyk fight.

    This uncontrollable erection you have for your man crush Beterbiev seems rather unhealthy.

    The only way he possibly beats Froch is through size, p4p Froch is the far more skilled, tougher and more durable fighter. He would certainly never get dropped by the likes of Jeff Page Jr.

    Feed Beterbiev to Canelo and then see how many people pick him against the Cobra.

    If Jermain Taylor and George Groves can drop Froch, so can Beterbiev.

    Furthermore, Canelo was the one who dropped his WBO belt so he wouldn't have been forced into a mandatory fight against Beterbiev.

    I don't think so.
    I think Calzaghe would clearly beat Beterbiev.
    We do know that an American SMW decided to retire when in the same division as Beterbiev

    Berterbiev would maul Calzaghe to death. It would be like the papa bear mauling a cub.

    Calzaghe is a smart bloke, he knows his own limitations and would never bite off more than he can chew.

    I doubt it.
    Calzaghe was never mauled by anyone.
    Based on which of Beterbievs 15 fights?

    Calzaghe was a big puncher earlier in his career also

    You missed the point of my post - Froch was on IFLTV recently and he was introduced as a 'former smw champion' - then he corrected/added himself saying "Britain's greatest supermiddleweight - EVER"

    Nothing to do with Calzaghe bro.
