    Think Benn could KO Froch as I'm not convinced Frochs chin is as granite as others seem to think. I think a puncher who would be willing to land a few times will take him out. He's too easy to hit.

    Even though (as stated above) Benn didn't hit as hard at 168.

    Benn would get to Froch early, Benn wasnt scared to take a punch so he could off load his own shots. Not sure Froch would have the power to keep a prime Benn of him.

    well benn didnt always have the best chin, froch is a clubbing puncher and at 168 is the much bigger man so i dont think it would be the foregone conclusion many of u seem to think

    Froch's rakish reach would be the deciding factor.

    Benn is the same height as Tatevosyan ... a former middleweight.

    Froch is a big super and would dwarf him.

    Nonsense. Based on what exactly? Froch's first defense was against Jermaine Taylor in America, now he is probably going to fight Hopkins or Bute.

    He's not 'doing a Calzaghe' and hiding out in his hometown defending against nobodies, is he?

    It should be a fairly simple task for you to explain why you believe Carl Froch wouldn't dare fight Nigel Benn. What has Froch done in his career that makes you think this? What is this opinion based on? Can you give some examples of events or incidents that support your opinion?

    No, Didn't think so.

    I like Froch but Benn is a different gun. Froch doesnt sell tickets and why is that? And Froch is living off the back of Calzaghe not the other way round. Noone is convinced, not yet and his career is almost over! Only now he wants to fight the big boys. The only reason Froch would of agreed to a fight with Benn was because it would have got him some tv exposure, Taylor put him on his backside Benn would have finished it. Dont tell me you dont see that?

    Froch would take a couple of falls due to lack of defence but would stop Benn in round 10

    Would be a good fight.I think Froch may just outlast Benn and get him in the last 2 rounds.But it really would be a good one and i would not want to put more than £5 on either.
