    So Eubank couldn’t ofcomeback an rebuilt if he lost ? Like most. Froch always took on the best and won or gave a very good account of himself that’s why he was always getting the paydays, two totally different mindsets. Not comparable

    Why would you do that!?

    Froch was part of the Super Six. Guaranteed money, guaranteed fights, even if he lost every fight. He wouldn't of gone two rounds with James Toney.

    Boxing for your information is the hardest game in the world. Show some respect.

    Neither beats Froch. And btw, my favorite fighters are Tyson, Hagler, the Suga Man, Liston, so I'm not biased at all when I pick Froch.

    Froch could put brawl Barkley and he could out box Barkley.

    He's a class above.

    He'd have sparked Hearns as well.

    This is a war, I don't get why people think either man will try and out-box one another. In a war, it's probably safest bet to pick the guy with the better chin. That's Froch.

    Duran beats Froch though, and Hearns might well do too.

    He barely went three rounds with Taylor or three minutes with Groves.

    An infinite superior talent to Froch in Tim Littles was walked down and taken out when Toney was given one more round.

    Froch stands hardly any chance of seeing the third against ****ing James Toney

    Froch's chin was hardly Barkley-esque was it. Hearns tees off on and blows Froch out brutally, bless him.

    When Froch gets stopped in one, I'll let you know. When Froch gets stopped brutally by Robbie Sims, I'll let you know.

    Froch absolutely has the better chin.

    Flattened by non-punchers, down heavily by non-punchers. Knocked down hard in five different spars with a Bellew who was starving himself to death.

    God help Froch if Benn hit him once. Or Hearns. They'd have to carry him out.

    There's so much nonsense from both the Froch and Barkley side of this thread I don't know where to start

    Wait I know where - the exit

    Neither Froch nor Barkley are "crude sluggers" both could box....both were world amateur boxing championship bronze medalists....thats no joke.....barkley elected to box kalambay and lost...he used pressure tactics vs hearns and nunn succesfully....we often characterise him by the crude shot version vs toney & maske...

    If he tries,to box froch he loses...as,slow as Carl's hand and feet were he really had incredible reflexes which made it v hard to catch him clean....on top of an iron chin & will....very underrated power and boxing ability.....i think froch would cooly outbox a boxing barkley by virtue of his reflexes.....if Iran circa 88-92 pressures him hard....though i rate froch to beat calzaghe every time....i dont think he survives barkley....if thomas hearns speed and power couldnt keep barkley off....if nunn couldnt.....froch isnt.....i think froch loses a competitive in the chest fight on points by 116-112 or 115-112

    I didn't see great reflexes from Froch, he was always hit a lot!
