    Someoen said this and I hadn't actually thought about it. From memory it seems right, and if so - that must take its toe on him.

    He needs to stop getting hit so much.

    Perhaps he can start against Abraham..... :think

    Yep but he has great recuperative powers which is as important as a great chin - just ask Joe Louis and Floyd Patterson.

    I can't put my finger on it, but there's something not right here.

    Nothing is wrong unless we're talking about Hulk's big toe.

    I've mentioned this before, and that was the reason I thought Kessler had a good chance to knock him out.

    I think the incident where Kessler landed and Froch 'buckled' his legs was more due to positioning and balance, much like the Calzaghe-Hopkins knockdown. And it surprised me how Mikkel didn't do the job as effectively as Dirrel, Taylor or Pascal did.

    I do think Froch's chin isn't reliable as most people believe, despite not seeing that proven in the Kessler fight. Dirrel wobbled him, and by all consensus, he isn't really known as a puncher as Kessler is.

    However, I do expect AA to do the deed if he catches him more precisely than Kessler did.

    Past four fights? Hmmm lets see:

    - Pacal: I only ever watched it the one time, so I can't remember if Froch was ever hurt.
    - Taylor: Yep
    - Dirrell: Twice I think
    - Kessler: A couple of times I noticed he was hurt. But I was watching it on a poor internet feed, so I couldn't really tell how bad.

    His chin isn't a Margarito chin, in that he's impossible to hurt. It's durable, but is susceptible to a good puncher. His ability to recover is outstanding though, as shown in all the time he's been hurt. He's as tough as nails, and I honestly don't think he'll ever taste a knock out in his career. He'll be wobbled again, and hit the deck again, but he won't be kept down.

    Um, he hasn't been hurt in any of the fights apart from Kessler,

    Pascal, no, it was a war between two big hitters and hungry fighters.

    flash KD against Taylor can happen to anyone, he wasn't even ruffled.

    Dirrell ? LMAO get real.

    Kessler, yes, the bodyshots, aside from that, he showed an amazing chin to take a punch like the one that RJJ put Calzaghe down with, completely flush, as he was moving into it, it probably hurt him and would have Ko'ed anyone but maybe AA or Kessler himself in the super 6, shows how tough Froch is.

    Froch thinks he's got LaMotta's chin. He's got a damned reliable chin...but it ain't LaMotta's chin.

    Thats a terrible analyst:

    Froch fights on the back foot, by your estimation, when he had Kessler in la la land, and instead of following u ( i cant explain that) he stepped back...

    The Taylor flash KD was a freak accident, he wasn't hurt at all, he looked pissed off that he went down, and was up instantly.

    Dirrell has the softest punch in the division from a top ranked boxer, and the fact he does steroids makes it even worse, at no stage was Froch hurt by Dirrell, thats just insane to suggest, Kessler landed flush on Froch more than once, and Froch took it, to suggest Dirrell hurt him... shocking!

    Taylor really hurt him in the third round of their fight. Prior to the knockdown he landed a counter right that literally spun Froch around. Froch was introuble that round. That was more than just a flash knockdown. That was a knockdown that occurred because Froch was rocked and got caught with a punch before he could fully recover.

    Kessler definitely hurt him in round eight with a counter right hand. I think Froch could have possibly been put down had Kessler's follow up punches not been so inaccurate.

    And Dirrell hit him with a left hand off the ropes that had Froch reeling. His legs as Ian Darke would say did a "silly dance."

    I wouldn't say Pascal really hurt him, but he definitely had him stunned really good on one occasion at the end of one of the earlier rounds. Same thing with Robin Reid.

    Froch's chin is not granite, and even though it'll bend..it'll take a whole lot to break it.

    Damn, get over it. Froch was stumbling a few times in the Taylor fight.
