    Froch's got a good chin but it's not rock solid he's been hurt by not so big but no so soft punchers..... And comparing Froch's power to Johnson's chin and vice versa I definately believe Johnson has the better KO chance!

    But Froch has the better UD chance although Froch has struggled against boxers that aren't flat footed and can 'box' i.e Dirrel, Taylor, Kessler. Then again Froch could just totally outclass him

    It makes for a interesting match up... I just hope it's a good fight.

    "There are some Polar Bears that wouldn't fight on the front foot against Carl Froch"

    IRONSENSE2002, you need to calm down. Glen Johnson will give Carl Froch a decent fight, but i wouldn't describe it as "Hell".

    Draining down to 168 at a really old age, makes Johnson an easy night for Froch.

    I seriously don't understand why people are making this out to be a competitive matchup.

    Froch's got half a foot in the final, and he knows it.

    I think people are overrating Johnson because he sparked out Green, but lets face it green is a "the contender" level fighter

    if johnson has 1 fight left in him, then it will be hell for froch. Johnson prime for prime imo

    Anyone who thinks Johnson will run over Froch might want to take advantage of the 10/3 outright for johnson on betfred

    So Johnson beats a c-level fighter in Allan Green, after not having beaten a single world level fighter since 2004, and he's going to beat Carl Froch?

    Say what?

    I'll take Froch on a decision. But know that Glenn Johnson will come to fight, The man defines fighting spirit and he always comes to rumble does the road warrior and will be a live dog. I think he can cause the upset but only if Froch is off his game. I think this will be a little similar to the Cloud fight and Froch won't be as disciplined as he was against Abraham. He'll mix it up a little more with Johnson and it'll be more competitive as a result. It'll be a battle of Johnson's over hand right and Froch's jab and uppercut as Johnson comes in.

    Hardly. It's because of what he's done in the last 7 years and he shows no real decline.
    Johnson was never the fastest and it'll be an achievement if Froch manages to stop him marching forward. He still has an iron chin and will. Not a huge puncher but he keeps his pace going methodically for 12 hard rounds.
    Froch better not go into this fight chasing a KO or trying to show everyone how much of a warrior he is. If the fight breaks down to a slugfest, I'd fancy Johnson to win it.
