Froch vs Kovalev at 171 catchweight

[Dirk Diggler UK]

Who said anything about scared? There you go making things up again because you're too sensitive. Hopkins would've fought Froch at 170, but who could blame Froch at not entertaining a Hopkins fight... zero to gain, everything to lose. Lol scared. What's wrong with you?

Wel ok then. "Showed no interest". He showed no interest because he has no interest in moving up in weight, it's not really about Hopkins. Cleverly offered to fight him at 170 also. It's not about the opponent.

Kovalev would probably struggle to make 171 and leave something in camp. Froch wouldn't want to move up anyway, I don't think.

Catchweights are weak as hell. They only benefit 1 fighter and the fighter coming down in weight isn't fighting at 100%.

I don't understand what you was saying in the first para.
I wasn't referring to his record, just that most fans and critics pick Froch to lose in most of his fights but he usually finds a way.

It is obvious that Kovalev should be clear favourite if they fought, and i'd pick him to win, but that doesn't mean that i'd laugh at people who picked Froch, it's not exactly Garcia v Salka, Froch is no mug. And as i said before, not everyone who should win does win. That's the beauty of sport.

I have much respect for Froch. He's kind of a arrogant douche in general but that goes with the territory when you are as confident as he is. He's done great for himself with his limited ability with his heart and sheer determination. Keeping all that in mind, with his age, size and lack of raw boxing talent, he has less than no chance at all to beat Kovalev by a decision. It could never, ever happen. Froch's only chance would be to get a KO in some form or fashion which is possible. I was not laughing at those who predicted that outcome. Just a decision win.

I'm just pointing out how moronic "If boxer A could/couldn't do this or that, then what do you think Boxer B could/couldn't do?" arguments are but you seem to love them.

Here let me be you for a second...

"If Darnell Boone could drop Kovalev like a sack of ****, what do you think Froch could do?"

Stating the obvious is that are in two different weight classes. That's a 7 lb difference, not to mention how Froch has been proven to be out-boxable while KOvalev has not and he just beat one of the best boxers ever at his own game essentially. Froch has no chance to beat him on a decision homer.
Accept it.

I don't see how 2 lbs is a big deal really. I never heard anything about not fighting Clev. News to me.

I'm a big fan of both fighters. Can't help but feel that people are going a bit over board with Kovalev at the minute though.
That said, i'd pick him to beat Froch. Kovalev is a massive LHW, Froch is a natural SMW.

There ya go, that's using common sense.

As a Froch fan, I wouldn't want to see this. It'd be too brutal.

Thank you very much. Aside from those who bleed Union Jack colored blood it's easy to see.
