    Carl Froch vs Kovalev at 175...Who wins?

    Who you got?

    Would Froch walk him down in the second half of the fight or would Kovalev be too much? TKO/KO or UD

    How big is Kovalev on fight night? I think that might decide it for me.

      FOTY candidate right there.

      I got Kovalev because Kovalav is a 175 lber and Froch a 168 lber.

          Froch doesn't fight at 175 or catchweights. If he did he would've taken the £1m ($2m) to fight Cleverly or fought Hopkins at 173.

          Froch's walk-around weight is 172lbs but to answer the question, Kovalev wins.

            The fans win.


            No one gets KO'd btw. Cleverly is no ****ing Carl Froch. Clev got some "granite chin" respect but I've always thought his chin was nothing.

              Froch got dropped by Taylor and was hurt by Reid, Kessler and Dirrell. Difference is he's older now and Kovalev is a prime, strong light heavy who hits harder than all these guys and might be a better finisher.

                Kovalev doesn't just have crazy power, hes actually a very good boxer

                Even tho I'm a big Froch fan, I gotta go with Kovalev

                  I know Froch has a granite chin, but Kovalev can really ****. Froch is easy to hit, and Kovalev doesn't waste punches, he punches with precision and accuracy.

                  Froch could wear Kovalev down, but I can't see him getting away with soaking up to much punishment. Kovalev hits to hard for you absorb to much.

                  Kovalev in a war.

                    if kessler can hurt froch, kovalev can put him away. you generally have to favour the naturally bigger guy in fights like these.
