Froch vs Kovalev at 171 catchweight

[Jewish-Reptile]

Froch won't face GGG let alone Kovalev lol,his own fans want the GGG fight and he still dont want it,you really think he'd fight Krusher after he has established himself as a ppv star fighting guys like Groves and DeGale.

I love how people picked Froch winning a decision. I lol at the remote notion of it in fact. If Hopkins couldn't win a round against him no way has Froch got a snowman's chance.

Not every fight goes to plan

If every fighter beat who they were "supposed" to, then no one would watch and it'd be boring

I do think Kovalev wins comfortably, but I'm not going to pooh pooh a different view. Bear in mind Froch loses most fights before a bell has rung.

Hopkins is 50 years old and throws about 4 punches a round at this stage.

I disagree. I think he has been mentally in all his fights and only wiped out in one. Even in that one I still think his head was in it and he was trying to win to the very end but could just not make it happen. I feel that he really lost the Dirrell fight and was losing to taylor before coming back late.

That said, It's so obvious that Kovalev is way bigger and has the necessary skills to outbox and overpower Froch under any circumstances.

Just my opinion.

What's the point? Froch is smaller and can be outboxed. If Groves could buckle him like that what do you think Kovalev would do?

A high workrate against Kovalev would do nothing but get Froch knocked out faster. Think about it homer.

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'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?"

Froch would have his hands full with 49 yr old Hopkins, why do you think he showed no interest when Hopkins was talking about facing Kessler/Froch winner.

Because he doesn't particularly want or need to move up to Light-Heavyweight. He does 168 comfortably. He turned down a huge offer to fight Nathan bloody Cleverly - was he scared of him too?

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?
