    Poll:Sergey Kovalev vs Carl Foch. Who wins and why?

    Nathan Clevely has called out Carl froch in the past and I felt he would have taken a beating had they met in the ring. How do you feel Sergey Kovalev vs Carl Froch would pan out. They are different weights so the fight would be at catch weight. Who wins and why?

    The fans!

    I don't know, I have no idea. I want to say Kovalev stops him but I just don't know. If there is one guy 168-175 who I feel could weather the early onslaught it would be The Cobra.

      I'd say depends on the weight favouring Kovalev at 175 or catchweight, but you never know with Froch. He has underrated boxing ability and a long reach, he might just school him boxing on the backfoot like he did Abraham keeping him on the end of the jab.

        Probably not, he's there to be hit. His chin has always been a decisive factor for him in big fights, but against Kovalev's power it'll will get crushed. If anyone, I would much rather put my money on Andre Ward and Hopkins.

          Well Froch will put up a much better display than Cleverley, but I wouldn't like to call it.

            Abraham was a 5'9 midget moving up from middleweight, Kovalev is a big strong heavy-handed career light heavyweight and Froch isn't fast on his feet either.

              Yeah the key difference imo is that Froch can box moving backwards, Cleverly just kept coming forwards and standing in front of Kovalev.

              I favour Kovalev but I wouldn't be shocked if Froch outboxed him.

              It wasn't the size which beat Abraham, it was skill. Froch did the same to Glen Johnson. Like I said I favour Kovalev but I wouldn't be surprised if Froch pulled it off.

                I think it would be a true test for for the new champ. Cleverly was hyped up for no reason. He never beat anybody elite. It was an impressive destruction but I think Froch would test him in deep waters if not drown him.

                    Another Lucien Bute.

                    Froch destroys this bum.
