Froch was easy to hit and not that fast. Canelo is a super middleweight now and punching very hard. Taylor nearly KOed Froch. Ward beat Froch by many points and I think Canelo would also beat him.
At no point was Froch “almost KO’d” in that fight with Jermain Taylor.
Groves is a much bigger puncher than Canelo. Froch steam rolls Canelo.
Canelo abuses Froch sorry. Froch would have trouble hitting Canelo cleanly and Yes Froch had a great chin, but Canelo would work his body till he was wore out then potshor him to a wide Unanimous decision.
Froch would take a real beating ..lacked defence and bad balance and it would be open target practice for canelo...I don’t think he would stop froch but he definitely would bust him up.
I would side with ward and calzaghe beating canelo because style...work rate for joe and ward for size and defence
I liked Froch, but Canelo would be a nightmare for him.
It would take a fighter like a Calzaghe to beat Canelo.
A guy who has the ability to change styles during the fight... some call it the ability to "make adjustments"

His defense is pretty much what is brought up first when talking about Canelo. Literally no one underrates it.
Well, Denium did it in his opening post... :)
Yeah Canelo beats the version of Froch who KO'd Groves, but I'm talking about a prime Froch, the guy who walked down Taylor & smashed Pascal to bits.
Would be a great fight as already told.
Mind you, I like Froch. But Taylor, who had already been beaten twice by Kelly Pavlik (and was more or less left damaged by those fights) was still winning until the last few seconds. I can envision Canelo doing the same, with improved power and accuracy, for a late stoppage or a points win. It would not be easy, though.
You meant to write "smashed BUTE to bits", I suppose?
Froch would take some
beating in that one. UD Canelo.
Hahahaha ud for sure if it goes the distance cause we know how judges roll for canelo (mayweather draw, first ggg fight gift and to more than a few ppl another gift vs lara) only way to beat canelo is ko em yet canelo has a crazy chin, if it goes to decision we know that answer.
Im on of frochs biggests fanboys and tbh i see canelo outboxing froch,not putting a beating on him just simply outboxing him
Much like the andre ward fight,froch kept trying to land and getting countered with shots that didnt do much damage to him
Numerous fighters nowhere near as tough as froch have seen the final bell va canelo and i beleive froch does easily
Such a shame but froch would barely land anything of note outside of the clinch
Canelo has amazing defence and timing which will make you hesitant to bum rush
Froch was slow and not slick or quick as Canelo but had a good chin, decent power and throw a lot of volume in his fights. Froch was beat only by a very good boxer in Kessler and a great one and neither of them fights like Canelo or are similar in size. At this stage i would put my money on today's Canelo against 2010-12 Froch.

yeah that never happened. was a razor close back & forth fight
Canelo's defence is underrated, he would dodge a lot of Froch's shots.
And if Groves, who's not Canelo, had Froch down and seriously buzzed when he hit him in the first fight's opening round, Alvarez takes him out IF he manages to land a couple of good ones on that chin.
Either way, it would be a great fight.

Something similar but maybe a wide points, as Canelo does have a good chin.
It would be a war that's for sure, Froch turned up to win and has an atg chin.
