He's got power and a hell of a chin I'll give him that, but he eats way to many punches. His speed is average, his defense is terrible, has a good jab. very easy to hit with the left hook and right hand.
He's lucky he wasn't in the ring with Taylor or Kessler tonight.
People forget that the reason why Froch looked like he had bad defense was mainly because he was in with a very fast fighter and good boxer, and even then his face wasn't severely busted up. Its ok when you make mistakes but have the chin to make up for it, and his chin is rock solid because Pascal could truly punch. I give Froch a good shots at upsetting Kessler or Taylor on his best day.
he really can't though thats the thing. he's a very light puncher and he doesn't have many ko's and they all came on accumulation. he still made froch dazed and confused like matthew mcconaughey several times.

you asked a question to the people that had voiced opinions of him no? you asked whether they had followed his career and if they had seen him fight before tonight.
I voiced and opinion therefore I am part of the group you were asking the question to....
Actually I said 'I wonder', its a statement and I did not expect all in fact anyone to give me stats of which fights they had seen. As I was only wondering those that had seen him fight obviously did not come into that category, did they?
The only question I asked you was regarding how you knew Kessler would 'most likely' stop him via a cut. That question still puzzles me?
I tip my hat off to froch tonight. But after this fight we have learned a lot about Froch. We learnt that Froch dont need to come out with so much of the if he hits people that they get knocked spark out kinda talk. Hes not as good as he wants people to think.
But he beat an unbeaten fighter, so Froch is a tough boxer to expose. Pascal lost the zero on his resume, rather than Froch.
Err OK. Did I name you in my post???
I wonder of all those who have voiced opinions of him in this thread, how may of you have actually followed his career, in fact how many of you have seen him fight before tonight's win???

I saw him fight Pascal tonight, I saw him fight Reid, I watched him fight that Polish guy who was a replacement brought in on the day, I saw him fight Dodson and awile ago against someone called Page for the british title. Not live but i have seen them, he's a limited, tough fighter but he's get killed by the elite at 168.

Whilst I agree that Froch does have weaknesses he is a very dangerous fighter.

I have watched Taylor on numerous occasions and feel Froch would have a 50/50 shot against him due to his strength but I feel that Kessler has an all round better style with a solid chin and great power and that he would beat Froch over 12.

Froch,Andrade,Bika,Pascal
Just make them all fight eachother.
shag the belts.....and Kessler and Taylor. Just keep sticking them on big cards against eachother.
Shame they aren't all British.
That would be the greatest Super Middleweight era in terms of great, competitive fights imo.
I'd be tempted to through Miranda in there but I think their all to big and tough for him.
Miranda is a pussy compared to them. No point.
I love the SMW division. You've got two greats in Calzaghe and Kessler (well, 1 now I suppose) and some very very competitive guys just below that - Bute, Froch, Andrade, Taylor, Pascal, Mundane, Bika ... even Abraham and Pavlik to pop up among others. It's my favourite division, even ahead of WW and LW, and there's just so many good fights there. Not with Calzaghe though - they'd be battered. Froch really needs to shut up about that but he seems to have conceded that it just isn't an option now.
you really are ****ing dumb, your post was an epic fail.
no doubt. what do you think mick would offer Bute to come to Nottingham for unification?
I have heard Bute gets min $500,000 per fight now :eek:
Froch is garbage, Taylor and Kessler easily defeat him at 168. Kessler stops him most likely on a cut but judging on how many punches he takes Kessler may KO him.
What???
Firstly a cut is a lottery and statically very rarely effects the outcome on the decision of fights across the globe plus what does Kessler have in his gloves that you can make that statement??? Shards of glass???
I can name all the fighters who would beat froch, Taylor, Lacy, Inkin, Calzaghe, Hopkins, Jones Jr(yes the version that got destroyed by Calzaghe), Dawson, Johnson... Did I forget anyone else???
Froch has the worst defense ever, and pascals defense isn't much better... But I like pascal, so I won't pick pascal apart.
you really are ****ing dumb, your post was an epic fail.
That might all be right but he isn't rubbish. I'm going to make it my life's quest to make a Froch-Andrade fight happen.

Chad would destroy him, he's faster than Pascal and Pascal was hitting him with huge right hands leads and leads left hooks for crying out loud.
Pavlik would hit him with his right hand easily also, Froch got peppered with huge rights hands from the bell and Pavlik punches alot harder and more frequently with the right than Pascal.
Froch defense is the worst from 160-175 at world class level barr Andrade.

You should be more respectful.

Froch has too much for Pavlik, and Bad Chad only has a slim chance.

Switch the name Kessler with Taylor in that post and I agree with you.
Exactly. Andy knows what's up.

To beat Froch you have to be a world class fighter imo.
Kessler and Taylor beat him.
The others. Who knows?
Jean Pascal is better than some of the people mentioned that could beat him in the thread like Lacy.
LOL..
