    I am a big fan of Froch, mostly because he's a warrior and he comes from my hometown.

    However, I can see the decline in him and I can understand why people are expecting GGG to win (I still slightly favour Froch)

    I am just wondering, what chance do you give GGG against a prime Froch?

    Perhaps the Froch from the Bute fight?

    Same result?

    I really only think GGG has a very good chance now because Froch is not the fighter he once was.

    There are still too many question marks on GGG for me.

    1. Can his weight carry up?
    2. How will he perform against a top level fighter?
    3. Does he get hit too often? He certainly was getting tagged by Monroe.

    Carl has proven it time and time again like you say. Ended hype jobs and never been stopped.

    It would be a massive stoppage for GGG.

    1) Most likely. He currently spars with LHW and Cruiserweights and people from those weights said "its unnatural"
    2) Froch will be his toughest test to date. That's because the cowards at his own weight have refused to fight him for the past 5 years.
    3) He gets caught often because he's an aggressive boxer and has no problem walking through people at 160lbs to finish them by KO
    Froch gets hit much more than GGG. GGG will be the hardest puncher Froch has ever been in with.

    A prime Froch who sticks to his trainers game plan and throws powerful jabs and steps in with his punchers and doesn't look to trade is a handful for anyone who is not fleet footed and quick.

    Could a prime Froch beat GGG? Can't really say at this moment in time as GGG has not fought an elite level fighter or at SMW.

    There was a time when Bute was highly considered. Froch exposed him.

    Froch fought and came second against the likes of THE SUPER 6.

    GGG hasnt fought frochs calibur.

    Froch getting hit all the time, using his Polish iron chin as defense = warrior

    GGG taking some shots with his diamon chin, to open his opponents defense and to make the fight entertainig = hypejob

    Ah, glorious logic :rofl
