    Froch is one of the worst champs in the sport. The only sound he will be making will be a thud as his head bangs off the canvas.

    Seriously, this guy is slow and all around technically awful. All he has is his over rated power, which is totally unproven at top level.

    Kessler would annihilate him. As would Taylor.

    Correction.

    He has power, damaging accumilative power, a great chin, a lot of heart and a good jab to go with range. Also stamina, he can slug it out for 12 rounds.

    Link to what thread? Do you mean the article? It's on the scene and therefore I'm not allowed to link to it.

    He has above average chin, power and stamina. Nothing special though for a world class fighter. To beat the to guys in the division you need to be a special fighter. Froch just doesn't have anything going for him. He doesn't have explosive one punch power, he isn't a good boxer, he doesn't apply pressure well etc etc..

    He is extremely flawed, and once he steps up the competition it will show.

    If you think he can hang with Kessler you are absolutely dreaming. Taylor also would be WAY too fast for him. Bute should be too good as well, although based on styles this is where he stands the most chance.

    Froch will make much more noise when he fell on the canevas!
    it will surely happens if he fight all the guys is calling out!
    it will be beter for him to just try to keep that belt ,he could fight Taylor for his next fight but i dont think hbo is intersted in this fight , Froch is almost unknown in usa.And Taylor would won this fight IMO by wide UD.

    I don't.

    Kessler would beat him comprehensively.

    But he has the power and aggressiveness to push guys like Taylor and Bute to the limit, and the stamina and chin to keep in there and doing it for 12 rounds. Taylor and Bute have shown stamina problems, and therefore chin problems when they get tired, Taylor against Pavlik and Bute against Andrade.

    If Froch can press and fight them toe to toe for 12 rounds, and there's no reason why he can't, then there's a great chance he can wear them down and stop them.

    As if Taylor is going to move up to 175 now and take on Glen Johnson. Dream on HBO.

    For that, the WBC and WBA would have to agree to a unification. I'm not sure if it's legit. I'd bet Froch cannot skip the two mandatories to unify. So, he's talking a lot but knows well it's only talking, except for Taylor, who is the mandatory.

    There is a damn good reason he cannot put pressure: he's slow.

    Of course he can. Jean Pascal was primarily a boxer, he was proven to have more power and a better chin than I originally though, but he was primarily a boxer. Froch dragged him into a slugfest with his aggression.

    Pavlik is also slow, and look what he did to Taylor. Froch and Pavlik are very similar, both aggressive, both have good stamina and high punch output's, both have very damaging accumilative power, both have decent jabs which they can use effectively from range, and both have killer right hands. Froch has a better chin however and more heart.

    Blatant nuthugging of a british fighter by a british poster. Surprise surpsise.

    Pavlik is a level above Froch. He is more effective with his pressure. He puts his punches together better. He has a much tighter guard, and is a lot better defensively than Froch.

    Pavlik definitely would not have had an all out war with a fighter like Pascal.

    You are commenting on things like chin, and heart on behalf of Froch, but he hasnt' proven anything. You are merely making assumptions. A fighter like Pavlik has already proved himself in this regard.
