I meant their opposition that Froch has beaten better opposition. I just checked my post again and noticed I didn't word it correctly though so I've gone back and edited it.
BS as DB would beat the living daylights out of Froch and Morrell would beat him up as well. Dre took his soul.
Froch is on a different level to anyone Benavidez has faced. Benavidez is also a guy that likes to trade punches which is a dangerous game against someone as durable as Froch who gets stronger as the fight goes on.
Benavidez is faster, more accurate than Froch and better defense, heavy handed. Froch couldn't even keep a 42 year old Glenn Johnson off him , who dropped down to 168 for the first time in a decade, and struggled to beat him. If old relic Johnson could maul Froch, what you think Benavidez would have done to him? I think he batters him to a stoppage. What does Froch do better than Benavidez or what better attributes does he have anyway?
Carl Froch is on a different level to Dirrel, Plant, Govzdyk, Andrade, Morrell? Last time I checked he was not even on a different level to Glen Johnson and Andre Dirrell. Resumes don't fight for you in the ring, its attributes and skills. Froch knocked up a good resume but he was not on another level.
If Benavidez ever gets into any kind of Castillo/Corrales type of fight with a known puncher his lack of power will seriously impair him.
This why I don’t like comparing different eras if boxing. When Carl Froch was active SMW was maybe the deepest and best era of the division with multiple elite or near elite boxers and only 2 can say they beat him. One went on to be P4P #1 and the other has a claim at being a top 5-7 SMW ever. Now Benavidez has a good SMW resume but let’s not act like Gavril didn’t drop him. I personally believe DB is the goods but Froch was battle tested in every way possible.
Froch is clearly better than an old Gvozdyk, Andrade, Plant, let's not be silly here. And we have no idea how good Morrell is right now until he fights more notable opponents.
Break it down. In what ways is Froch better than Benavidez, what are his specific advantages in a match up. Just claiming Froch is better than everyone Benavidez beat is not a strong argument.
