      Froch's success is built upon physical fitness, an iron chin and sheer will power. Technically all he has going for him is a very underrated jab and power shots that come from unusual angles. Honestly I don't understand the hate for him on this board. I know he talks too much, without that much right to do so, but he comes to fight, wants to fight only the very best and is nearly always good value for money. I think he should be celebrated as a fighter who has got very far without any technical brilliance or special athleticism.

        Having Taylor, Dirrell and Pascal as W's on your record is pretty good. He also gave Kessler a life and death struggle.

        He's one tough cookie.

          It's a shame he's going to crumble against Abraham.

                Lately it seems like Abraham only fights in the championship rounds after taking the first 6 or so off.

                Perhaps he will start faster against Froch.

                    not even, hes definitely a douschebag though. He doesnt have much skill, I can appreciate his toughness, but his mouth his too big for his lack of accomplishments.

                      I don't think thats how AA can ever fight, I think he likes wearing opponents down and taking them out late.
