What are your views on Froch's chin and power after tonights fight?

Calzaghe should stay retired - but froch beats him in every department is so wrong its funny. Every heard of workrate? Footwork? Speed? Ringcraft? Adaptability? Stamina? Defense? I could go on.

Froch is a good fighter with huge grit and I've been a fan for a long time but dont get carried away. Joe was elite, a top 3 p4p guy. Carl is very good, a top 3 SMW. Big difference. As you will see if Carl ever steps in a ring with Kessler or even manages to tempt Joe out of retirement.

 

The thing is he wouldnt win all those fights. In fact he'd do well to win half of em.

 

His defense is suspect... he's very flat footed...moves like a tank...and is slow as ****....But the man has a BIG HEART

 

We will see mate. The Kessler fight should be inevitable and is one to really look forward to. I like Kessler but think Froch's power and mental strength wins him the fight. Calzaghe will wisely stay retired no matter how much Froch calls him out so that outcome will probablly be argued for years. :good

 

Taylors stamina has been exposed before and was again last night. That was what really turned the tables for Carl.

Froch showed good stamina, decent power and a solid chin. But that chin wont stay solid for much longer as he continues to eat so many shots.

 

He's got a really good chin. Like Naz he helps his opponent to hurt him. He'll lunge in, be off balance, chin in the air, hands down, walking on to the punch etc As soon as he was down he was okay and Froch took heavy rights before going down.

I've never hated on Taylors power. I never saw Hopkins brave enough to get hit or take risks when he was losing. I sure as hell remember Winky covering up when Taylor let his hands go. Pavlik was hurt badly. Froch was put down. Taylors power, like his entire game, is inconsistent but he sure can punch with that right.

 

His chin is solid imo. Taylor has very underrated power (probably due to the fact he has fought a load of defensive masters in recent years therefore struggling to get the KO's)

Frochs speed is definitely something he should work on coz Taylor was picking him off easily for the 1st few rounds.

Great heart and decent power too.

 

At last, a sensible quote from the dopey, pie-eating idiot.

 

Thats a bit harsh especially when he from burnley and not wigan which his the pie eating capital of the NW.

 

He won

 

Kessler is not exactly a non-stop work machine over 12 rounds either. He slowed in the Calzaghe fight and got sloppy so you never know, Froch could take him out of there as well.

Would be a great fight.

 

rather eat pie than your favoured snack of cheesy **** nob jockey:good

 

What impresses me about Froch the most is his ability to recover very quickly from being hurt.

I remember one huge and fiush punch in the fight from Taylor and for a split second Froch looked really really hurt, then all of a sudden he was fine again.
