Question for big Froch fans: Who are the fighters Froch COULDN'T KO at 168/175?

Not really. How could I justify it based on what Froch has actually achieved? It looks to me you came into the thread trying to prove something to that end, its very transparent. It can be justified on the attributes Froch has shown and the weaknesses the above fighters have shown. After all, nobody should have picked Pavlik over Taylor if resume was the be all and end all.

At the end of it, it can only be an educated guess and gut feeling until Froch has done it against at least the Pascal's of the world.

 

there is a diference in being able to KO and being able to win. i think cobra could KO pavlik and taylor and bute and taver as he has great power but if he can win is a different story.

 

With only a whiff of his breath.


Now seriously. Froch could KO any of the guys at 160/168 and 175 but the chance of him landing correctley differs from fighter to fighter, some of the guys you mentioned are expert defensive fighters or have styles that would destroy Froch vut then again some are made for him. We have not yet seen Froch fight a genuine world class fighter so we do not know if he can force his style in a fight against the best opponents, if he can then he could be great but if he can not he could end up like Edison Miranda and just a an enertaining punch bag.

 

pretty much agree, but i would swop taylor and bute personally.:blurp

 

I am a fan of Froch but he has not achieved anything yet. He has looked impressive but he has only faced fairly limited foe. I think he has the talent to be a world champion but I think without a protecting promoter like Warren or the Germans behind him he will have to fight top level competion to get his chance and to keep his belt. I think he belt holding career will be short but he could alot of guys a few surprises and us fans a couple of big exciting fights to look forward to. I do bot think he will mind having a short title reign as long he gets to fight the best, no way does he want to **** around for years doing nothing but watch the best opponents fight other people and not him.




I do not think people are over rating Froch. I think people are under estimating the opposition like Pavlik, Bute and a few of the guys at 175. I have talked **** about some of these guys but sometimes I am prepared to give my honest opinion.


Taylor will get better and better for me and will be the one to watch.

 

All fair enough points and I know where you're coming from. It is impossible to say accurately, I'm just putting my opinion out there on how I see Froch's potential matching up against these names. It wouldn't be very interesting if we all said he can't KO any because he hasn't proven anything yet

I'm not sure there are any other prospects with Froch's power, chin and variety of offensive work. That is what makes him an exciting prospect in the division, and why I think he has such a good chance.

 

the only thing that worries me about froch is that if he fights someone with a decent chin and high workrate I.E calzaghe, he would lose a decision because hes not active enough

 

personally i think that haye and froch are the only real big hopes for british boxing over the next 3-4 years


they are both exciting punches who will either knock someone out or be knocked out, khan has no real hope any more. Hatton is nearly finished. Calzaghe is in his last fight. so haye and froch are the two big hopes and i think both have great potential, even better with froch living down the road:blurp
