How would Canelo do against Carl Froch?

[GMAN SUPREME]

what a ****** ***ing thread! put down the crack pipe ASAP!!!

[Jewish-Reptile]

If Canelo made Froch go to 155 Froch would be out in a round, if it is 168 Canelo with his limited skills would be iced in a round or two.

[i'm a fun haver]

Froch would butt**** canelo and have him outta there in less than 4...


Basically froch-bute 2, but bute (canelo) being much much smaller this time around

This is the correct answer

Canelo gets beaten up and stopped.

[soul_survivor]

Canelo is bringing Amir Khan up 2 divisions to fight him at middleweight

question

How would Alvarez (who is slow) do against Carl Froch if he himself went up the same 2 weight divisions.

Do you see him doing well in a toe-to-toe war against Froch?

Bare in mind, Alvarez walks around heavier than Froch too so it's quite a fair fight really

4 or 5 inch height advantage, 3 or 4 inches in reach, Froch hits harder and has a great chin...Canelo gets stopped for the first time in his career.

Canelo would school Froch, he's a superior boxer and his handspeed would cause Froch also sorts of problems. Froch struggles with boxers - Ward and Dirrel both beat him (Dirrel was cheated by a home decision). Even Jermaine Taylor was beating Froch until he gassed. Canelo is a durable fighter (more so than Taylor) and I could easily see him going the distance and getting a UD over Froch, that's provided its not in Nottingham...

Well Froch is 4 inches taller at over 6ft and struggled to make 168. He walks around well over 180. I would bet my house that Froch would destroy him for the weight, height and power advantage. Canelo would stand with him and get ko'd. You need to be a good boxer as well as tough to beat Froch

Wrong, Froch usually weighs little over 170 on fight night and is always walking round very close to fighting weight (174ish) and Canelo weighs about 174 on fight night.

Khan is moving to 155, it's basically 1 division.

Froch would beat the absolute **** out of him. Canelo has no chance, zero.
Would be worse than the Abraham fight.

Dirrell wasn't cheated, it was a close fight that could've gone either way.

Regardless, Canelo isn't as skilled as Dirrell/Ward or Taylor in his prime.

Froch loves guys who stand in front of him, Canelo isn't particular good on his feet, not is he an outstanding boxer in terms of skill. He's just a tough, strong guy who picks on smaller men. Bread and butter for the Cobra.
