Where Do You Rate Carl Froch's Power?

ive rated good but i would give him a 6.5

 

Heavy handed, but with little snap. I'd give him a 6.0 out of ten, he has taken numerous shots to put away the only World Class fighter he stopped, and one that wasn't known for his durability.

Abraham clearly hits much harder. He is a K.O artist IMO, Frochy has a decent dig but is not a puncher IMO.

 

Thread clearly started by a noob, this is not a question worth asking. Both of them hit harder than Khan P4P though, he is a feather fist.

 

Abraham is obviously a harder hitter. Froch's power is good, not great.

And from memory, his knockout of Hague was very good as well, but it's not on youtube.

 

good power, great power if his opponent doesnt move...he's too slow and clumsy to have supreme power, seeing as power is a combination of things, speed being a major factor

AA isn't elusive, he's gonna get hit a lot, just whether froch can hit past/through that shell guard and those thick arms that take a lot of punishment

 

Froch overreaches and leaves his chin out on the air, doesn't have the speed/snap to break through Arthurs guard and will get tagged with big counter shots.

This is literally one of the best stylistic matchups for Abraham I can think of, Froch is durable but he's getting sparked here.

 

Against this level of opposition he was quality. He still has heavy hands, but will struggle to put more than dents into Elite opposition.

Case in point Kessler. Froch landed some big shots on him, hurt him, but didn't take his legs away or drop him.

 

It's all about levels. At this level, Frochy lacks the speed and snap to spark people or take them out.

However, when he gets his timing down and walks people onto shots, he gets a lot more out of his heavy-handed assaults. His lack of conclusive power is more down to his lack of co-ordination and handspeed IMO. People can see his shots coming a mile off, especially his famously terrible right uppercut :deal

 

Im a big froch fan,he's everything thats right about boxing but yeah i think his power is very overrated,he's heavy handed but he wont knock many fighters out with one punch,at world level anyway..

 

8/10.

 

Reasons? I'd love to see what fighters you'd give 9/10 or 10/10.
