    Froch is a good fighter but I just don't think his style matches well with Glenn Johnson and the tenacity he brings.

    Ward will win the fight against Abraham but he will not whoop him persay.

    Please Carl Froch is on another level. Glen Johnson is just tough, he will make it a tough fight. He is on the same level as Sakio Bika. Yeah he can hang with the best but not win with the best. Carl Froch will win this fight but will have to put a lot of work in and it wont look as good as it did vs AA.

    Even if Froch tries to box Glen's ears off... Johnson has seen it all. He keeps on coming. And keeps on coming. Froch's stamina is great, no issue there. But I don't see how, by say the 5th round, Froch doesn't engage in a brawl. Johnson isn't dumb, the overhand gorilla club will find its way through Froch's awkward defense. From then on, Froch gets tagged hard a couple times a round... and the fight becomes a war starting in the mid rounds.

    If it's in Vegas, Froch SD. If it's in Nottingham, Froch by 3-4 rounds. Froch wins a war, comes out on top, but stays in the trenches for at least half the fight. Swelling around his left eye, too. Story of Glen's life, losing close fights. Froch will be very proud of this win, where as Ward must totally blow AA out in order to get satisfaction AND recognition for the win.

    Do you think that Syd Vanderpool, Slyvio Branco, Derrick Harmon and Clinton Woods are better fighters than Carl Froch?

    Froch is a world class fighter with one of the best recent resumes in boxing. Johnson is a solid fighter and it will be competitive but ultimately Froch will win a clear decision.

    Put Froch in perspective? WTF?

    Nope. But TBH, that's not what's relevant to me.

    Do you think Froch's ring experience is more valuable than Johnson's?

    Do you think Froch's jab is better than Dawson's?

    Do you think Pascal was a bigger puncher at SMW than Johnson?

    Do you think Johnson is one dimensional just as Abraham is?

    Hey, Froch still wins in my book. Not an easy one though.

    No, but Froch's ring generalship is excellent, and Johnson's Ring experience never stood out as one of his most useful quality's to me.

    Froch has very long arms, is rangy, and although his jab is not as sharp or pinpoint as Dawson's, but he rarely has trouble finding his opponents face with it.

    Actually yes, I do. Pascal has a big upper body and hit's hard. Johnson showed against Cloud the power that he one had on his punches is fading, they are not thrown with the conviction they once were. Although, his KO over Green may indicate the move down in weight has increased his power.

    I'm not sure if anyone is as one dimensional al Arthur Abraham.

    Johnsons past has not been erased, he still lost to those fighters I listed in my previous post. He has improved in some areas, but it would take a massive improvement to beat a fighter much better than those fighters, and Carl Froch is much better than them. I don't feel that Johnson is all that much better than he was a few years ago. This fight wont be as close as you think.

    Like Johnson is some walk in the park for anybody. He has elevated his game since losing fights he should have won. Out of Johnson's last four opponents, only one hasn't been a good puncher and that was Dawson. Mack and Green were not able to hurt him. Cloud was able to on a few occasions, but we all know that Cloud is a massive explosive puncher, quite possibly on another level than Froch (who himself hits quite hard). I don't see Froch winning this easily at all.

    This is not an easy fight for Froch. He's never fought anyone like Johnson. Out boxing a passive AA is one thing but Johnson will press for the full 12 rounds. I see it going to the scorecards with Froch winning a narrow decision.

    Cloud, while no slow-handed plodder, does not possess exceptional foot or handspeed in my opinion.

    Why can't it be fast paced? Froch threw high numbers in the Pascal fight and so did Johnson against Dawson. I think if Froch boxes, he wins a competitive decision. Hes no Allan Green, and has much better stamina and offensive tools than Cloud (who Johnson fadded against). If Johnson gets close and stays there, he could win but its hard to see Froch allowing that to happen consistently. The blueprint to beating Johnson is obvious.

    "some of those losses may be of a controversial nature"? MAY BE?

    "but if you let a fight with Derrick Harmon or Syd Vanderpool" Let a fight...what? Go the distance? He should have won all his fights by 1st round kayo?

    Johnson ain't the first guy to get screwed by not being aligned with a big-name promoter. He's just the most visible.

    Your logic doesn't work because if he is strictly a b-level fighter, how did he defeat Jones and Tarver and Woods?

    But fact is Johnson's past his peak, while Froch is at his. Froch fights with same disciplene he showed against AA, he wins wide. But IMO Johnson will prove tougher and more determined than King Arthur. I think Carl wins a close and exciting decision.

    He just loads up with every shot, fights in spurts and doesn't seem to avoid shots well.
