    Froch has been lucky so far but I think his luck will run out on Oct 17.
    its not all about the skills, froch has a granite chin and an extreme determination. who has andre dirrell beaten that makes you think he can beat froch? froch has beaten pascal and taylor and both of them are better than dirrell.

      Don't think it matters. He'll need a world-class heart too.

      Mentally, Froch is one of the most sound guys out there. I wouldn't says Froch has been lucky, I'd say it's because Froch has the heart of lion, and bollocks the size of coconuts, and a world-class Trainer. Robert McCracken will get some serious love after this tournament, he knows his fighter down to a tee.

            How has Froch been lucky? He has worked his way to a worthy title shot, brutally KOing everyone in front of him or winning clear UDs.

            He won the title in a war against the current LHW world champion and then KFTO Jermain Taylor in his first defense.

            I see no way this is lucky...

                Dirrell has the skills to beat Froch, BUT he has never proven that he can walk through the fire and remain composed long enough to do so. Not even close, I think Bhop and Chad could outbox Froch, but Dirrell hasn't proved that he can.

                No prediction yet, but we know Froch has the heart and power for the big boys at 168, does Dirrell? Oganov and Hanshaw don't freaking count as world class, oganov is about 4 foot tall and Hanshaw is a midwestern club fighter basically.

                  Yes Dirrell hasn't fought no one but he has the skills and has showcased them many times.

                  Only question is if he can take them to the next level and apply them on top 10 figters.

                  I think he can with Froch.

                      You'll see.

                      Dirrell IS a far harder puncher than Pascal.


                      Andre punches harder than Taylor as well..and well all saw Froch on the canvas and hurt several times by that MIDDLEWEIGHT.
