    Froch didn't land even close to as much as Dirrell did. Please just stop there. No one believes that, go make a poll if you dont believe me. Every brit posters that had Froch winning used the reasoning that Dirrell "ran", and "held", they all knew Dirrell outlanded Froch by quite a huge marrgin. Anways I'm off to bed, so don't bother replying, unless you're desperate for the last word :good.

    I am going with GGG on this one, but for different reasons to you.

    The Dirrell ****ogy for me doesn't work as GGG and Dirrell use there footwork differently and GGG's feet are a lot slower than Dirrell. Also, Dirrell was only looking to defend in that fight and not counter back. He seemed pretty much in survival mode that fight.

    As for Froch going to war; I expect him to fight a controlled fight behind his jab with a lot of movement, like he did in the Abraham and Groves II fights.

    I think Froch does have a granite chin. To the best of my knowledge he has only been dropped twice (Groves I and Taylor). Considering he is open defensively and can get caught whilst throwing his own punchers, and you factor in that he has shared the ring with some very good punchers, I would say it adds up to having a top grade chin.

    GGG stepping up in weight to fight a bigger guy with one of the best chins and recovery in the sport.

    This is not a stoppage fight.

    You really are deluded, Dirrell did run and hold, he didn't throw anything, he may have set marathon records but you don't win a fight that way unless you are effective with what you do. He wasn't, its simple.

    When the guns go off in this fight, Froch is going to keep pulling the trigger and GGG is going to catch him hard and often. Yes Froch is a big boy, yes Froch has a granite chin, but GGG is a hitting machine and the more you swing at him, the more chances you give him to knock you out.

    Froch gaining proxy support from Wardo's, I see. With a few exceptions.


    In addition; Nice thread OP!
