    Who exactly called Froch "****?" He's got more respect in this thread than Eubank.

    It takes a real thick dummy to not understand what the thread starter is saying.

    People will say Froch isnt shot to build him up.
    Froch is 34, was behind against (1-2l in his last 3 fights) Taylor, looked lucky to many against Dirrell scoring a SD win. Dirrells biggest win is Oganov. Beat Abraham coming off a loss. Thats Abraham who cant compete at SMW. Froch only got a MDec against old Johnson who has a terrible SMW resume and couldnt compete in the division and was 0-5 in his last 5 world title fights. Have you seen Johnsons dreadful SMW resume? He has lost more fights than he won with his biggest win being A Green coming off a loss. All the others are journeymen below -
    Johnson has since lost every round in his last SMW fight against Bute.

    I will answer this question with an old post including Kessler

    31 year old Eubank was far fresher than Froch due to his better defence and skill. Does anyone think Froch could go up to CW and be able to compete evenly with a prime CW like Thompson? I dont, Froch gets hit clean too often.
    Eubank was far better

    I honestly think he's past it. Maybe even shot.

    Of course, Ward's style will make anyone look clumsy & slow, but still, Froch looked REALLy bad in that fight. Also, even in interviews he just plain looks tired & worn out.

    I think he's aging early. It happens.

    he will be shot when he fights Bute next year,just like Johnson,and you'll be the first to point that out.but hey,he has at least 5 months of "prime" left in him
