Canelo vs Froch at 168

Canelo wins pretty easily, I think. It's a horrible matchup for Froch; prime for prime, he's better than him in every department.

 

I think Canelo gives him trouble but his workrate and stamina are so abysmal at this weight that Froch would end up outworking him. Those loaded up single shots won't deter Froch enough from his gameplan.

Froch, despite his style, was also an underrated feinter which would sap Canelo's physical and mental energy even more.

 

Canelo.

Froch not that hard to hit and Canelo would have hit him and hit him good.

 

Froch chins him

What is this Canelo suck fest ya'll need to chill out big time

 

Froch dominates Canelo

 

Ottke? Really?

 

I don't disagree with this, but I think they were all much better than Ottke. Ottke was arguably the most overrated and protected world champion in the history of the sport.

The only fighter who has truly pushed Canelo back for 12 rounds was Bivol at light heavyweight, who is a much bigger and better boxer than Froch. Taylor and Groves both dropped Froch heavily, and Ward comfortably outboxed him. Canelo is slightly overrated, but Froch is even more overrated. Canelo has the better chin, better shot selection, and much higher ring IQ. In his prime, he didn't block punches with his nose either, like Froch did, beats him pretty easily on points, Canelo isn't Lucian Bute or Yusuf Mack.

 

The Canelo we witnessed the other night!? A prime Froch would have stopped him, no doubt. Prime for prime tho it's a 12'round gruelling battle and battle of iron chins that could have gone either way on close scorecards.

 

Why are you always so hyperbolic?
