Rate Carl Froch's Power...

7 - It's not as if he's bludgeoning fighters left and right putting them out cold.

 

7

technique 2

has anybody been hit by that horrible looking uppercut

 

I would put it as an 8.5....i had to round up on the poll though.

The guy's no Julian Jackson but he can take the life out of his opponents with his thudding shots.

 

Very fair :thumbsup

 

Exactly. Take their common opponent. Pavlik took Taylor out sooner and more decisively. After Pavlik Taylor had to ask if he had been knocked out. Taylor ended on his feet with Froch and was center of the ring asking for a rematch soon after.

 

Taylor had more punch resistance at 168 and I am pretty sure that Froch has more power than Pavlik but what does it matter when they both have excellent power.

 

How can you make that statement? Normally it goes down with each KO. Just because he made it longer against Froch?

Seriously, this is a loaded question from beginning. A poll to put a number on something when none of us have felt his punch. Plus it is really a little too soon to even ask this question since he is just now stepping up in class so there isn't a lot of quality opponents to go on. Pascal ended on his feet and he took quite a few of Froch's shots. As has been stated in other threads, EFFECTIVE power is the key.

 

One punch what? Dick.He`d prob beat Froch but he`s no ****in Hearns you knob.

 

7.

He has raw clubbing power, but his punches aren't sharp enough for him to be a real monster puncher.

 

I voted 7-8. Like many others I think that the effective use of power is far more important than brute force. Take a list of heavy handed guys like Froch, Miranda, Abraham, and Pavlik, and you'll see my point. Pavlik probably has the least concussive power out of this group, but he has a higher KO ratio than all the others.

 

Exactly, its his ability to place his shots behind his Jab and the leaverage he gets against shorter fighters that makes him so effective.

IMO when he fights someone as tall as him you see his power isn't the same.

 

i voted 9-10 but i feel his power is more 8 slash 9

 

Pavlike took less time, but landed a hell of a lot more in those rounds. Froch only landed a handful of flush shots, which was enough to end Jermain's night. He hit WAAAAY harder than Kelly does.

 

Solid hitter, more of an accumulative puncher, though he can really dig to the body when he wants too.

We'll have to wait and see. Kessler is a fantastic puncher due to his accuracy, Frochy just seems very heavy handed

 

Perfect analysis IMO :good:good:good
