    Both Bute and Mack are without doubt natural LHWs....Froch was significantly the smaller man in both fights....Just because you are smaller doesnt mean that you cant overpower your opponent.....I honestly think that Froch would rip through the light heavies around at the moment.

    I know that, it's just Froch has a lot of raw strength, more than Bute or Mack. You can tell just by looking at them standing next to each other, he's ripped as **** whilst they just look lean and athletic. Dawson and Pascal though are both well built guys who look very strong, in my opinion I don't think Froch think would be able to bully them. I reckon this is why he doesn't want to move up, he doesn't think the adjustments he'd have to make would be worth the rewards. There's definitely more money in fights at 168lbs with Ward and Kessler. Just saying he COULD move up if he wanted too. Don't believe all this crap that he can't because he's too small.

    You can't duck someone who isn't in your weight class. If Cleverly is desperate for a crack at Froch he should come down in weight.

    Fact is, Cleverely has fought so much ****, even the casuals are starting to think he is a ****ing joke (& they ain't wrong)

    Like any title holder at LH are going to avoid Cleverely. If anything, they are probably eying him up as the weak link.

    I'd love to know how Cleverly could actually win this fight.

    Even Troyer surely couldn't put up a reasoned argument as to how it'd happen.

    The ones in bold in particular are the predominant characteristics in becoming an ATG for some on here.

    ***** is the num1 garbage talker, in the same article he calls out broner as a complete hype job saying burns would have him, I don't mind people giving opinions but in the sun articles he doesent explain ever why fighter a is overrated or why fighter a would beat b, just rubbish like froch vs cleverly is much better than froch vs Kessler 2

    Well said Jack.
    Froch is one of the few world champions who is absolutely perfect and comfortable at the weight he competes in.I've never doubted that Carl would lose a fair bit of sting if he moved up,and he makes 168 without putting too much strain on his body and is always perfectly on schedule when it comes to targets during camp.
    Too many fans nowadays take moving through the weights for granted.Why should a fighter at Carl's age risk ****ing around with a proven formula to give a guy who couldn't draw flies round a hot **** a chance of recognition.
    The Fish will belt out his shite in The Sun where there's no right of reply but is he hard enough to come on ESB and see what real fans have to say?

    Crap article.

    Cleverly is nowhere near the class of Froch. Not by a long way...
