Bute landed like 44 punches on Pascal in the last round of their fight, now imagine if had been Kovalev hitting him. Froch doesn't hit remotely close to as hard as Kovalev does, Froch doesn't really have one-punch knockout power (unless it's from a body punch).
Froch has 4 knockouts in his last 11 fights, one of them was controversial (Groves), another was against a glass-chinned Bute (had already been KO'd by Andrade), a shot punch-drunk middleweight, and a punch-drunk journeyman called Yusaf Mack. No, he's power is not remotely close to Kovalev, but because of his bravado and sound chin he can get in good positions to land his punches.
If Pascal show the same **** defense he's showed in his last few fights he won't make it past the first five. Pascal is also an average puncher at best (1 TKO in his last 7 fights and 3 in his last 13 fights) his best shot is to run, smother, and try to outwork Kovalev; he doesn't have a puncher's chance because he's not much of a puncher to begin with.
