    Froch would get Knocked out IMO and for the Groves fights he was not doing that good at all he was losing in alot of peoples scored cards before he knocked Groves out.

      Put on extra pounds of muscle at 37 years old near the end of his career?

      Yeah....great idea!

      I think Froch's window to move up to 175 has probably passed.

        Froch takes a career ending beating, which he isn't interested in and shouldn't be.

          You must be lying or blind if you say Kov is quicker, he is slow for the elite level but might have better footwork. Froch's hands are quicker and his reactions seem quicker too...however moving up in weight can slow him.

          we've already gone over this and the rematch gave us a definitive answer.

          If these fights ever happen:

          Froch has a very good chance of beating Kov

          Stevenson WILL beat Kov

            I'm not saying he will 100% win, I'm saying he has a great chance. Why can't he move up in weight at 37 with modern nutrition and a team of educated nutritionists. Athletes across the board are extending careers with various scientific methods.

            I thought Kovalev would show us how special he is and batter Bhop into a stoppage but instead of that, he looked hesitant, for the first 5 rounds he looked nervous, like he couldn't believe where he was. He threw 2 punches and instantly backed up. Imagine a fight with Froch, with loud, rowdy English fans getting on top of him, how would he cope?

            It's a very interesting fight, one that sells, makes money and can make heroes of either man.

              I was talking about the rematch he was still being out boxed alot of people who are not blind saw the commentators being bias to Froch.

                Froch seems noticeably slower to me. Feet and hands. I've always though Froch was freakishly awkward/funky and slow for his quality/level. How he's effective will always be a mystery to me.


                Honestly...if I'm judging by a top 3 fighter in a division I'm not sure who's slower than Froch in the other divisions lol

                  i think froch vs kovalev is the greatest fight of this era.

                  two future legends going at it.

                  ward doesn't want to rematch froch and he's in hiding right now, and stevenson doesn't want to fight kovalev. so lets make kovalev vs froch.

                    yeah, Groves fought a brilliant fight but Froch said he took him very lightly, something I thought was an invalid excuse but the rematch showed us all.
                    he also struggled vs kessler but he won clearly the first fight, i thought he got robbed but he struggled, lol, kovalev aint no kessler

                      Stevenson likely won't fight Kovalev soul and will probably get knocked off before the fight ever happens.
