    Froch KO. No question.

    Jones is a future hall-of-famer. He was also totally shot when Calzaghe beat him, and won't be any less shot now. RIP RJJ - Retire in peace. Please.

    Froch won't run rings around him in the way Joe did, but he won't have to. Unlike Joe he can finish him off, and RJJ can't dodge him for 12 rounds.

    Just.. no.

      Here you are Mr Froch, here's £5 million quid.

      It is prizefighting at the end of the day.
      cynical,but realistic.Hope it doesnt happen though.I want Jones to hang em up before he starts talking like Meldrick Taylor.

        Uh Jones is way faster than Taylor and doesn't suffer from stamina issues. Carl is there to be hit. I say Jones, most likely by KO.

          Jones has stamina issues.

            The Roy Jones of today would still take Froch to pieces.

            He is still faster than Taylor. He still has better reflexes than Taylor, he still has better stamina than Taylor. He still is more accurate than Taylor. He still hits harder than Taylor.

            Froch is too slow to capitalize on Roy's faded reflexes. This fight would end up looking much like the Shieka fight.

              Froch outworks Roy in a somewhat competitive fight. Roy doesn't get knocked out. Roy is washed up but I think he'd finish on his feet.

              People must remember Froch is easier to hit, and not as awkard as Calzaghe. Joe's slick and crafty same reason Bernard gave em trouble.

                Nothing even approaching the issues Taylor has.

                  Froch isn't going to outwork anyone with boxing ability. He already demonstrated quite clearly in the Taylor fight that if you do anything remotely resembling boxing and or counter punching, he loses his will to throw punches.

                  He only started throwing punches when Taylor stopped punching back.

                  Froch doesn't have the kind of balls needed to walk through fire and bull fighters into submission like Liberado Andrade does.

                      This is actually an interesting match up. Jones still has incredible handspeed and accuracy from a variety of angles. Even midway through the Calzaghe fight he was still able to land some good shots like that monster uppercut that would have put lesser fighters out. Froch is going to be eating many flush shots like that before he gets to Jones, durable fighter or not it will take some toll on him.



                      Jones against a human punching bag in the washed up Sheika.

                      Froch would of course be the favorite but he won't be in for an easy night.
