    Will Froch stop Johnson?

    I think it a very real posibility. The Road Warrior maybe be a tough competitor but IMO Carl Froch is the best supermiddle in the world and can box and can brawl when the going gets tough too.

    Froch is not Allan Green, he has rock solid chin and also carries big power.

    Froch has a great jab that carries a lot of power, Johnson could well eat a lot of these early on. Froch will also work the body and this will take it out of Glenn.

    I see in the later rounds Froch taking it to him and could have a late stoppage.

    Johnson is 42 now and had dropped down to supermiddle, while Froch is in his prime and in the form of his career.


    How do you see it going?

    I can't see nothing but a comfortable Froch win and think there is a very real chance of Froch stopping Johnson.

    This is one thing written off, because nobody stops Glen.

    But fighting at the weight for the second time in 10-years. Against an opponent who will use his length to negate a lot of Johnson's strengths. I think it can be done too.

    Glen is teak tough but I just have a feeling. The man is 42.

    This is not the norm.

    Saturday night might be a bit of a reality check.

      I doubt it, unless Johnson grows super old overnight he should be OK.

      Froch didnt even finish Abe, who sort of has a similiar approach with his guard, although Glen will be more offensive.

          Froch does have a dig on him but doesn't have the power people think he has.

          He knocked people out left right and centre at domestic level but at world level he has one KO win in his last 5 fights.

          Johnson's chin is certified and altough i do think he will be rocked a couple of times i don't think he will go down.

            AA has a better chin and carries more power than Johnson, though not as good as boxer as Glenn.

            If Johnson opens up he may well catch Froch a few time but Froch will catch Johson a lot more.

                I never said KO, I said stop.

                And if Froch catches him often enough just like anyone he will go on.

                But I see the ref calling a halt to the preceeding.

                  i think froch will win quite easily more easily then people think i dont think glen makes the weight as easy as people think

                  i see froch taking it to him and will work the body and hopefully work everything through the jab, glen is tough but i could see a similar stoppage as the one hopkins dished out to johnson

                  if froch does stop him it will be late on!!!!

                    How do people see Johnson winning? by getting inside and tearing Froch up.

                    I'm not saying it can't happen but I just can't imagine it, and wont until it happens. If he starts to get an advantage in there; Froch will bring out the rough stuff. Physical strength will be the big factor. Froch seems to be the strongest fighter in the super 6 with the possible exception of Ward. Johnson has come down in weight and some people are seeing some kind of strength advantage the could be derived from that. Can't see it.

                    Let's be honest: Froch, Dirrell, Ward, and Kessler could all easily be light-heavyweights. The only guy who couldn't is little Abe. Who was basically too small for these men from the outset.
