    No doubt about it, Froch would stop Nathan if they fought right now, in around 18 months when Nathan has hadmore time to physically and mentally develop his skill and strentgh etc he may be competitive.

    As of now though he should stay away from pascal and the other titlists at his weight because he has potential but he has clear flaws that they would exploit, wouldnt mind seeing him in with Diacano though.

    One thing that i didnt think i would be saying is looking back now at calzaghes career it shows what a talent he was and imo he would be beat all of the S6 and current LHW.

    Cleverly switches off and would decide to trade with Froch, and he's never seen or fought anything as awkward as Froch (his last opponent doesn't even compare). You have to outbox and outwit Froch and Cleverly isn't the man to do that, and even if he stuck to his jab and a gameplan, he'd still be broken down. Froch would catch him, and Froch would hurt him.

    Froch wouldn't be giving up any size!
     

  8. think as soon as super6 comes to a conclusion the natural step for froch will be to step upto 175 as bute apart he would of been in with every decent 168pounder

    plenty of decent scraps at 175 for him, the cleverly fight i doubt would happen for carl due to the fact nathan isnt much of a name outside of britain just yet but the likes of dawson, pascal and a 69year old hopkins await froch

    Froch, but in a couple of years it could go either way.
    Cleverly has such a big frame I can see him going up to CW so the fight may never happen.

    I'd rather see Cleverly-Bellew first, that would be a lot more competitve.

    I would be appalled at whoever put clev in that ring. Froch would hurt him clev is still a young guy remember he needs time and alot of improvement before this is a fair fight

    I don't think this is as one sided as many people are saying.

    Me neither.

    If Froch gets behind the jab and works some combinations he'll outbox Cleverly and win 10-2 or similar.

    If he gets dragged into a fist fight he may well come 2nd, unless he gets Cleverly out of there at some point.
