    Carl Froch returns to today's super-middleweight division as it is now. How bad is the division? Is Benevidez his big challenge? What's missing today that Carl brought then?

    Carl had a good chin and a good jab but he didn`t use it enough.

    Froch probably cleans up at SMW except for a few top guys. The division is not in a good state.

    A prime Froch would make easy work of 168 now.

    Callum Smith vs a prime Froch would be pretty damned epic, we still have no idea just how good Mundo is but, I would wager that Froch would bring out the very best in Smith. The current, in form Ryder would be entertaining for the first half of the fight and Eubank Jnr. vs Froch would be a right tear up.

    Ultimately thou, I firmly beleive that Froch would clear up all the belts and would reign supreme with perhaps the odd trip up along the way in the current Supermiddleweight scene. If Ramirez hadn't moved up to LH, that would have been Froch's toughest test as he's pretty damned slick for such a big guy.
