      He is severely underrated and just because he isn't lightning quick. Froch is a very awkward and throws from strange angles which can be just as effective as natural handspeed.

        I have never been a fan of his, but as a boxing fan I have to give him his dues and respect. The man is a true warrior and represents what is good in boxing.

            Froch called Abraham a one dimensional slow plodding blown up 160 pounder, he discredited himself even before the fight took place. Abraham didn't even win 1 single round against Froch or Dirrell, does that mean Froch was right about Abraham being nothing special?

                I give him his props, honestly

                I used to really dislike him as a man and as a fighter, and I'm still not sure if I like him now, but dude has surprised me a lot in his fight against Kessler, and tonight, he fought a great fight, followed Dirrell's blueprint, but did even better than Dirrell

                Dirrell was caught by better, harder punchers by AA than Froch

                and yes, dude is fighting everybody, he hasn't got the most talent, but he is doing good and manages to win most of the time fights he should lose on paper

                  He showed he can box in the Kessler fight too but abandoned his boxing later and I expected him to used his obvious advantages tonight.

                  I couldn't believe how many ppl just saw him as a limited brawler before this and though he would just willingly walking into AA's power shots.

                    nah, that's not the reason

                    he has been underrated because he has always had severe holes in his boxing, offense and defense, which were exposed by Taylor and Dirrell

                    he does things he shouldn't be doing, and against the right opponent, he pays for it
