Does Carl Froch think Glen Johnson is a pushover?

    It would be really funny if Johnson wins, or if Froch gets robbed. US should give the fight to Johnson even if he doesn't do enough to get the win, payback for the Dirrell fight in Shittingham.
    Nah, I don't want to see anyone get robbed. I think the fight most people want to see is Andre Ward vs Carl Froch. They've been in the super 6 from the very start and a final between Ward and Froch would be epic. Johnson is not really a SMW and will most likely move up to LHW after super 6 is over.

      I'd love to see Ward vs Froch. Ward kicking Froch's ass would be great. But if Johnson beats Froch first, I wouldn't be mad.


      Regardless of who wins between Froch and Johnson, Ward is coming out of the Super 6 undefeated and ready to expose Lucian Bute.

        well froch is saying he respects glens toughness and skill,and will box smart but also try put on an entertaining fight.

        johnson has said that he doesnt have to worry about what froch will do,but just go out there and be himself.

        For,i see johnson as slower in handspeed,slower with movement,slower with footwork,not super powerful but strong and still has power.

        froch might have more stamina,good power and strong chin,will use his legs to get himself out of any danger,will stay away from the right hand and stops johnsons attacks by body work and jabbing in every combination he throws.

        Froch has to be smart and focused,but i believe he will win in fairly good fashion.

        Johnson is good,hes a warrior,he comes forward all the time,but that could be some of his problem tbh,what happens when hes hurt,when hes backed up?,when hes kept at range,and is struglling to move and land right hands?.

        Hes been robbed of a few fights,but also hes allowed a lot of fights to be close on the cards,so he hasnt always done well enough to win clearly vs a few opponents,such as dawson 2nd fight and maybe cloud fights.

          As the fight gets closer, I see it more as a 50-50 fight. My initial prediction was Froch easily, then thinking about it, when was the last time Johnson was beaten easily outside the Dawson rematch? Which had really close scores for some reason.

              If Froch is over confident he's in for a rude awakening. Johnson is as tough as anybody Froch has fought. I doubt he's taking Johnson lightly, Carl's just doing what he does.

                I'm pretty sure that Froch knows that Johnson is a tough man that's going to do his best to win the fight. Yeah, Froch has been saying some weird comments but you got to understand that that's his personality, he's a confident guy who truly believes that he can beat anyone.

                Still I don't see him as overconfident, for me he's just really motivated and has trained really hard to get into the super 6 final.

                By the way some say that this is something like a 50-50 fight, but I think Johnson now is being also overated. He's good, really good and showed a great display against Green, however Froch is no Green and has had 5 tough fights in a row and has showed that he's a great boxer and he has improved in his last fights. For me this is a fight that will go to the scorecards, something like 116-112 for Froch.

                  Yeah I don't see anyone beating Ward in the Super 6. Andre Ward is going to win Super 6 in style. Now I believe Lucian Bute is the real deal though.

                  Andre Ward vs Bute could be an amazing fight

                    hell to the no, froch aint ****** and he's always very confident.

                    he's faced by far the toughest comp so far in the tourney and this puts him even further ahead of ward as far as comp goes.

                      froch has 5 tough fights in a row, johnson has about 15 of his last 18. plus he's used to fighting faster and harder punchers. people are acting like losing weight is gonna kill glen. i don't think so, i think he hits harder and can take a better punch (but I could be completely wrong, I'm basing my opinion on what glen says and he never bullshi ts)
