    froch was dropped against taylor, hurt against dirrell, kessler and chicken legged vs abraham

    unless froch can unleash a big workrate of big combos of hooks and power that cloud was demonstrating vs johnson, there is no chance in hell, and even then he would'nt stop johnson

    froch has ko'd only bums and unless you wanna count taylor who is out of it by the 6th, he really doesn't have the power
    i think i've said this before, but joe calzaghe has more "KO's" than froch


    no way...in hell, he ko's johnson
    When did that happen?

        Froch's defense is shit, he gets hit too much, Johnson likes to swarm his opponents with punches. The chances of Froch getting knocked down/knocked out in this fight is high imo. So I would be surprised.
        Dirrell didn't "stun Froch all night". He stunned him once in the tenth or eleventh (can't be bother to rewatch that stinker to be sure) and it was due to catching him unwares with his speed rather than any awesome power he may have possessed. No, Taylor and Dirrell don't have "100% KO percentage." Who the hell does? Taylor can ****, as plenty of fighters can attest to, and him dropping Froch in no way incriminates Froch's chin as being less than solid. Johnson can **** as well. Guess what, so can Abraham X2 and Froch dealt with him just fine. Froch's defence will never be his most talked about aspect, but he's not been stopped yet so he's obviously a lot harder to hit clean than you think.

          It's no use arguing about this now. I mean if you have an opinion that's your opinion. I said my opinion, I don't want anyone trying to counter my opinion with what they think. You don't see me quoting any one in the thread about their initial opinion because I really don't care what they think. Let's wait to see what happens in the fight. Hopefully Johnson just wins but I wouldn't be surprised if he stops Froch. I mean why would I be surprised? Really, you'd be surprised? Surprised about a KO? What Johnson has 5 KO's now, Froch never been hurt now? What is this?

              I will be rooting for Glenn to win the whole damn tournament, but I dont see it happening.
              Yeah, Johnson's one of my favourite boxers to root for, simply because he's an old no nonsense throwback fighter with a take-on-anyone mentality, but I'm not gonna let that cloud my judgement. Froch outboxes Glen to a UD.

                Miranda, son

                Abraham didn't even hit Froch with anything clean, maybe 1 or 2 punches and he only throws 2-3 punches, Johnson does not do that shell defense, throwing 2-3 punches once a blue moon hoping for a KO. He's on you every minute of every round.
                Johnson gets hit a lot.
                Froch will hit him a lot.
                He will get some licks in of course, but I don't see him winning this.

                  I was very impressed with Johnson against Green, but I think Froch takes a decision

                      This is a curious statement. The only time Froch "gassed" to my knowledge was in the Kessler fight when Kessler was ripping him with bodyshots. The bloke's got some of the best stamina in the game.
