    ...if Macca had a year or so to come down to 175?



    Finally...a competitive fantasy match-up for Flint to ponder over...

    What is your pick?:think

    :lol:

    Macca has a 4 inch height advantage;

    Froch has an advantage in:

    • reach: 1.5 inches
    • power
    • chin
    • confidence

    This the 2nd option was meant to be Macca by KO.

    I went for Froch by KO as I really do not rate Macca.

    Even Paulie would brutally KO Enzo. No problem at all.

    Its more likley this fight would happen at 175lbs. Froch could easialy go up and Macceranelli said he would make 175 for the right fight.

    at anything lower than 180lbs its froch, above its 50-50

    I didn't know he could make anything close to 175. If he can, let me just change the title and we've got a good one! I'm going with Froch by KO pretty confidently at 175. Macca could not take what Froch would surely land, eventually. He couldn't hurt Froch enough either, to take him out before Froch has a chance to do so.

    Froch KO 6.

    He was threatening to get down to 175 to fight Hopkins a while back.
    Make of that what you will....;)

    I'll believe whatever I'm told about his ability to make 175 by those who know more than I do...but...just by looking at him, I would say he'd have his work cut out to make 185...nevermind 175.

    Anyway...he's be a rag at anything under around 185, right? Presumably quite a few people would beat him at 175, just by boxing him to a very wide UD.

    Froch KO in brutal and dangerous fashion. Macca's chin isn't that great, so draining him of natural weight would be dangerous.

    Having said that I'd vote Froch at heavy too... mainly because Flint Island is a troll and completely deluded.

    ... just being honest... it's true that highly annoying posters can cause dislike for another fighter despite it being irrational. I gladly admit that lol
