    I think Froch would KO Miranda, and dominate and possibly KO both Bika and Manfredo.

    I'm not sure how he'd do against Bute or Andrade.

      Totaly Hype.

      Based on what? Beating RSL fighters?

      Bika will take Froch to school. Its easy looking powerful against rsl fighters.

      Froch = Myth.

        What about fighting in America alone? And Froch has fought in the States.

          9. Edison Miranda
          10. Peter Manfredo Junior.

          There are a few facts we need to take notice of here.

          1 : Westerman took Froch to school and would have won without the lucky punch.

          2: Frochs power is myth. Hes fighting domestic fighters.

          3: If Froch was to fight and beat Crazy Kim. That would be his second biggest win, behind an 8 year past it Robin Reid. Now that says something about his record.

          Theres no ducking invovled by JT. Rather he couldn't be bothered wasting the time, beating him, for a lot less money than fighting Lacy. A fight which will be harder, but in which JT will still win.

            You realise that works both ways?

            Yeah, Froch doesn't have a great record, but Manfredo and Bika do???

              Hes an avoided fighter. His team offered a list of people the chance to face him in his last fight. Inkin pulled out twice. Rubin Williams pulled out. Miranda, Berrio and Kessler didnt wanna know. And now Taylor has blatantly and admittedly avoided him.

              Is he overhyped? We wont know until one of these guys steps in the ring with him.

                Jermain Taylor is the 3rd best Super Middleweight based on............?

                And Mundine ran away to Middleweight

                  Dont rate him too highly, but he is an unlucky with getting quality opponents which obviosuly would help him shine

                    Froch is definitely better than Manfredo, the current version of Mundine, 2008 Lacy, and he's probably better than Sakio Bika too.

                      I agree,

                      But I do think some overrate Carl, he is a tough guy with good power. But I don't think he has much more than that.
