    He is, yes.

    I imagine it's because he was ****y before he had a single good win on his resume. Or the fact his style is so ugly and slow.

    For that reason I HATED him up until he dominated Abraham. After that performance and last 5 performances you have no choice but to respect Carl Froch. Hate him or love him you have to respect him.

      He is, but he's a solid world class fighter. Ward is just better.

        Cant think for you but a win over AA will never change my mind about any fighter. I think thats aiming for the middle.

          Why is that?

          You expected Froch to dominate pretty much every round?

            I've never disputed that he's world class. That's obvious. People just need to slow down a bit with his skills. If you just read a discussion about him, you would think he's Pernell Whitaker. I think Johnson will beat him, actually, I don't even think he's going to get the chance to fight Ward.

              Well Abe is definitely worst of the original super six. Even with the win over Taylor. He's only better than green if thats an indication of how big Froch's win is. AA is not a challenge anymore. He's a walking tune-up fight.

              Depending on how Froch handles Johnson, I will reaccess my view of him.

                Disagree with Johnson beating him, but I don't think its out of the question.

                  I'm sorry but until post Froch, Abraham was seen as a serious threat in the competition. Prior to Dirrell he was seen as one of the favourites.

                  Froch deserves absolutely full credit for dominating like he did, especially considering almost no one expected him to do so.

                    After Froch beats him you will complain about how old Johnson was just like you do with Bhop and Roy. Im screencapping all of these idiotic posts you make and they will be sigged once Froch beats the he hell out of Johnson.

                      Not by me ever. I got a couple old posts that say what I thought of him 2yrs ago.

                      Johnson is still a good measuring stick. I think we should be past using the "old" excuse for Glenn..
