Carl Froch is the most overrated puncher in boxing today

yeah? so he managed to hurt Kessler even LESS then Calzaghe did...

 

you have no idea how to use this word.

you are not an average boxer if you've done as well as kessler has in his career, by any means. he may not be "EXCEPTION P4P TALENT LOL" but he is a good, solid championship level fighter and those are rare in this day and age so you should appreciate them instead of being a dumbass.

 

Kessker has a good chin but his fight against Ward is not a good example: Ward has very average power for an elite guy. And I'm polite when I say average.

 

Average is C. :nut

 

I agree with you that his power is some what overrated but it's not nearly as overrated as his chin is. People say he has an "iron chin". Like you said, he's been either knocked down or hurt badly in each of his last three fights, and all three guys were guys whose power was/is not on the level of Abraham's. That's why I'm 100% positive Abraham get's the KO.

I don't think Froch's power is as bad as you say though, I mean his power is decent. It's quite a stretch to say he has 0% chance of KOing anyone in the Super Six. I think he could definitely KO Green.

I also agree with you in that it is rediculous for anyone to say that Froch could KO Abraham. I'd be shocked if he's even able to stun Abraham much less KO him. The only shot he has at beating Abraham is if he's able to outbox him. I think one of Froch's biggest strengths is that he fights very long. When you watch him he seems like his reach is much greater than it really is. I think the Taylor fight was a perfect example, Froch seemed like the much bigger and longer armed fighter dispite the fact that they have an equal reach of 74 and 1/2 inches. Abraham is a smaller guy so I think if Froch has a chance to win it's by using his ability to fight long and from a distance. I don't think he'll be able to though which is why I'm guaranteed an Abraham KO.

 

Froch hits hard. Of course, when you face the best in your sport, the other ones hit hard too and they all have solid chins. That makes Froch's power not as dominant as before, that's all.

 

I don't know the numbers but Abraham has a very good reach. I agree with most of your post but I'd like to add a thing about Froch fighting long. That's true, he fights away of his opponents. He the has to make a big step to hit his opponent, leaving himself open and off balance. Ward and Bute would take advantage of that easily. Abraham will try to catch him off balance, that's for sure. It's one his favourite strategy. He waits for the moment and bang!

 

Abraham's reach is 72 inches.

 

What about both boxers arm length?

 

You are sick:nut

 

There is a difference between being mentally stunned and physically stunned. I know Michiganites aren't renowned for their education but that is ridiculous, sir.

 

AA might have a harder KO punch than Froch, but Froch is stronger, maybe the strongest in the Super 6- he can push AA around the ring.
