    Froch can't hold a candle to those boxers. Different planet.

    Kinchen, Tinley, Olajide and Van Horn all had significantly better boxing ability than Froch.

    Barkley was a lot stronger.

    You do realize styles make fights and none of the above have any similarities with Froch so why compare them. Its ridiculous.

    Froch showed he could vary his game when he boxed on the outside showing good skills to beat Abraham.
    I think this would be the difference here, both are tough hard as nails strongmen but I think Froch has just that little bit more versatility.
    Froch by hard fought UD.

    This is a tough guy fight and Barkley although technically limited is as tough as it gets . Froch loved a fight and against Barkley he's coming up a short .

    Barkley wins this

    Even Chris Eubank Jr boxed Abraham's ears off, and he's truly terrible.

    King Arthur had about 10 world title defences after the pasting he took from Froch. . After he lost to Eubanks he had a close fight with Paddy Neilson and retired.

    Anyhow , I believe Froch would smash , ground and pound Barkley into a pulp.

    A shot Abraham.
    I didn’t particularly rate Abraham but he was a genuine tough guy who you had to respect.
    My point was that Froch needn’t necessarily engage in a slugfest to win.
    Let’s face it Barkley wasn’t exactly Floyd Mayweather.

    Abraham was a flat-footed middleweight in a very poor middle era.

    Alphabet belt facing Paul Smith and Martin Murray, who were nowhere near world-class.

    And he was somehow even worse by the time that Abraham got to him.

    Froch probably makes Barkley look like Mayweather though.
    Barkley KO. His hooks are bad news for the flat earth clown.
