Johnson will surprise a bunch of people

So your not dis*****g my point............

Yep, I agree with this.

I feel like Carl can win either way, be it a boxing battle or an all out tear-up. Saying that, I think boxing would make it a much easier night. Chad Dawson decided to war it up with Johnson in their first fight and it ended in a very tight decision, second time around he stuck to boxing and beat Johnson with ease.

A little bit of both would be good, but boxing would be the smart option.

Difference is, Froch isnt near the same level as Dawson as a boxer.
Dawson is faster, better footwork, better defense, taller, faster hands, better jab etc etc.. Froch isnt some kind of master boxer. Being a stick and mover isnt what Froch is best at. Leaping in and out is what Froch is best at.. Not boxing off of his backfoot.. Froch may get hurt doing that. I like his chances better fighting like he normally does.. Either way I think he still gets outworked

Nah I think he'll last the distance

Froch actually had the balls to fly over to America and fight with the big boys early on to get boxing recognition. He also got locked into a tournament where the best are fighting the best and has done pretty well for himself thus far. Something that tool Calzaghe never did, don't compare a coke sniffing coward to a beast of a man like Froch.

Do try referring to facts when you want to add substance to your arguments.

'Froch had the balls to fly to America early on to get recognition'
You make him sound like some novice fighter making his debut, Froch Has had just ONE fight (So far) in the states against a shot blown up middleweight, who actually gave Froch a boxing lesson until he ran out of gas......Remember?

As for getting 'Locked in a tournament where the best are fighting the best'? Taylor and Dirrell are two of the best? REALLY? Have you heard the name Lucian Bute?

Calzaghe a coward? He fought in the states more than Froch, but what the hell has a fight location got to do with it? Calzaghe fought at a higher level and NEVER LOST!
