    Kid Chocolate couldn't hurt Froch

    "I hit with some big shots and he never shows any sign of pain. Right when I hit him with a good shot, I can't pose because I know he'll come right back."

    "Carl has an awkward style. He throws punches from all over. As long as he hits you with them, that's OK with him", Quillin said. "It's not like the standard jab, cross, left hook, uppercut. He'll start with an overhand right, maybe he'll throw left hooks...he'll throw everything to get you off-balance."

    "This guy is totally not the guy they make him out to be", he added. "He's down to earth, and I feel like when I talk to him, it's like I've known him for years. I like people like that. Things are different when it comes to fighting and he's just a competitor."
    WBC super middleweight champ Carl “The Cobra” Froch has been sparring with middleweight contender Peter "Kid Chocolate" Quillin, and the New Yorker feels the Englishman has more than a fighting chance to win his Dec. 17 date with WBA boss Andre “S.O.G.” Ward in Atlantic City.

      A little bit. Imo Quillin is the hardest puncher at 160 and one of the hardest punchers PFP in the sport. I think he throws harder shots than Golovkin so I found it interesting for that reason. Obviously headgear plays a role but it bodes well for Froch against 160lb fighters like Murray etc.

        You need some bricks on your hands to really hurt Froch.

        You may hit him and get his attention, but to hurt Froch takes an awful lot. The 168 guys can barely buzz him without headgear, the 160 guys have no chance.

          A career 160 lb'er in Jermain Taylor put Froch on his ass and had him hurt BADLY. And Taylor was never even a puncher @ 160.

          Dirrell hurt Froch with a big right hand during their fight.

          And Ward... who has Serta mattress pillows for fists stopped Froch in his tracks just about everytime he landed.

          Froch has a superb chin, but he's not unknockoutable @ 168. No fighter is in any division is really.

          Cept for Oliver McCall of course.

            Doesn't quite work that way. Froch wasn't weight-drained in sparring (he was at a comfortable weight) and he was sparring a smaller man. If he went down to 160 he'd be weight-drained so his overall ability to perform and to take shots would be (maybe severely) reduced.

                Froch wouldn't be moving down for Murray, the latter would be moving up.

                Szef, based on what I've seen, in terms of one-punch power I think Kid Chocolate has more than Golovkin.

                Dirrell and Ward didn't hurt Froch. Granted, Taylor did.

                  I don't think it's necessarily need devastating power to hurt Froch, obviously it helps. From what I've seen Froch has gotten hurt against fighters with hand speed. If you're quick enough to hit Froch with a shot he doesn't see you can hurt him.

                    LOL

                    Dirrell knocked Froch halfway across the ring with a right hand and had him scurrying to the ropes until the end of round at one point. Can't remember which round it was though.
