    Sounds like its going to be a war with both Froch and Johnson coming forward , I can't see Johnson keeping up a high pace in the later rounds , Im thinking late stopage. Either way should be a great fight.

    froch doesnt have a cast iron chin, he was rocked in the last round by abraham, he was stunned and hurt by dirrell, kessler hurt him and he was dropped on his ass. lets not forget that against kessler froch seemed disheartened when kessler began landing with body punches, i can see johnson stopping froch

    Froch should try and mix it , keep the fight at a high pace too, Johnson will gas out at the end.

    Johnson is technically so much better, I can see him taking advantage of Froch's none existant defense and making him miss a fair bit, he's going to need to pressure which he can do, forget about Clinton Woods comparisons because the Road Warrior won all 3 of those. Who knows how age will be affecting him now, he's an old man but he seems to keep on going, I'll be gunning for Johnson partly because Froch and his gf are epic twats and also because his style is horrible but sadly I see youth prevailing in the end

    So you're questioning Froch's chin? :verysad Lets not forget that these are world class fighters and he has never been seriously hurt by one of them.

    If theres one thing we can't question about Froch its his chin

    Looking forward to this fight more than most this year... along with Cotto-Marg 2.

    Think it will be a war which Froch edges out a UD.

    Anyone who thinks this will be easy for Froch is wrong. I still expect Froch to do the business and grind out a good win.

    This will be tough for Froch. Not convinced he can fight on the inside and not convinced he can keep it at range as people claim. Against Abraham who was unwilling to come through punches, yes, Glen Johnson has never been like that and he's faced bigger punchers than Froch. It all depends how much he can keep it on the outside and how much he can land when he does.

    Johnson's a tough old boot, it has the ingrediants to be a real war...but then so did the Abraham fight.

    If Froch is smart and sharp he can win this clear. If Johnson gets him brawlling, I think I'd still go with Froch's youth but it'll be a difficult, bruising encounter that Johnson would have a chance in.

    Although i can not see him getting past Froch, It wouldnt surprise me if the Road warrior beat Froch and Ward... He would deserve it.

    Everyone thinks frock is easy to beat until they get in a ring with him. Froch may choose to jab his way to the super6 final or he forgets te gameplan and we have a war on our hands

    i will base my opinion on the fact that clinton woods eventually beat Jhonson a few years ago .and lets face it , as much as i admired him ,clinton was never a great and was limited at world level.
    Carl Froch is a different beast and will deal with the ageing warrior who is Glencoffe Johnson somewhere between 8 and 10 rounds.
