    Froch will win pretty easily IMO. He struggles with opponents who have fast hands and move alot, because he struggles to get in range because he is too slow. Johnson is not that type of fighter and will be in his face and trade. Froch is the physically stonger guy and will be hitting him pretty much at will, so i see a tko/ko for Froch.

      Froch by close controversial decision. This should be a great fight

        I'll make a decision in April, too many other fights to look after, but this is going to be the best fight in the tourney action-wise.

          Totally disagree, if Glenn wasn't that strong then almost everyone he fights even at 175 wouldn't be moving backwards all of the time and he hits harder than given credit for. He doesn't get his KDs and stoppages by wearing opponents down with pressure the pressure creates opportunities for him to land his power shots.

            at first i was picking johnson, but after some good talks with some good posters and looking back at the two fighters styles, froch should win pretty comfortably

                  ummm, chad dawson? But i dont see what that has to do with it, im looking at the styles of of the fighters and how they match up, and i think Froch has the style to beat him. If you think otherwise then i'd like to hear the reasons

                    I simply can't agree with U here homey.Johnson's ring IQ is clearly underrated.Consider this,he isn't fast,he doesn't possess 1 punch power,his footwork isn't the greatest,but through all of that he still ko'd slicker fighters,beat younger guys & probably got robbed more than any other fighter in the last 20 years.He is easily 1 of the smartest pressure fighters currently & is over 40 to boot,he must have ring IQ to accomplish such a task.I do think he'll lose,but it's more because of his age than Froch just being better than he is.
