    Does Alvarez still easily beat a Prime Froch?

    I personally always thought Froch would be a tough out for Canelo as he's physically imposing and would guarenteed not wilt.

    I think bivol is a bit faster, Froch hits a bit harder, but I see similarities in stamina, chin, relentless ness.

    I think Froch would be in canelos face with the jab and would punch himself out of trouble with heavy hands same as Bivol did.

    Canelo would beat Froch to a pulp. Froch doesnt have Bivol's jab, poise and IQ. He was a tough cookie, but he would be eating clean counters all night and end up on his back...or his face. Big difference in skill level and ring IQ

      Yup, Froch had a huge nose.

        Froch would do serious damage when Canelo takes his breaks on the ropes.

          You know your a noob when after a fighter losses 1 fights after almost a decade you think he can't beat anyone anymore.lol

          Canelo beats Froch without much of a problem.

            Froch was tough for a Brit but also very slow with horrible footwork and poor defense. Hard to imagine he'd have much success against Canelo.

              Froch was gritty and had a decent punch, but Canelo would have broke him down. He would win the counter punch war and Froch would be befuddled. Easy decision win for Canelo.

                Froch doesn’t have Bivol’s defense and IQ.

                  I’d favour Canelo with his quick counter punching.

                  Froch had great distance control and long arms. Canelo has slow feet.

                  It’s possible Froch could keep it on the outside a win a UD

                    Based on what.

                    Who is canelos best win above middleweight.

                    Callum Smith? Who's best win was beating a shot to **** version of the groves Froch ruined in his prime, years before, and was coming in off a UD loss to John effin Ryder.
                    ​​​​​​
                    Face it Canelo has no good wins over 160lbs and the only good prime fighter he fought schooled him

                    AND

                    Bivol was apparently going to lose really easily so people can't NOW turn around and talk about how amazing his skills are, they weren't saying that before the fight lol.
