    How? Froch is slow, punches too wide, bad defense. I don't care about the size advantage he'd get carved up.

      The same GGG that sparked Bute in 3?

        Ward's reach is only one inch longer than GGG's. Try again.

          And GGG isn't all those things? You don't care about size, why? Wasn't that all GGGs fans excuse against Jacobs? Now suddenly size isn't important in fantasy land.

Second ******s don't understand how styles make fight. Canelo is a defensive genius and shows up close to 180 lbs fight night. Frotch's defense is terrible and he is there to be hit by ggg and his footwork is garbage. GGG wins this.
            At that stage any fight Froch took would have been a huge pay day. I think the fact that he didn't take any fight prob shows where he was mentally and physically. 38 years old, wealthy, lacking motivation.

            Yes we've heard this all before, terrible defence, no footwork, awful boxer, no skills, yet he's a future HOF'er who went through a gauntlet of top to elite fighters, strange that.

                I suppose the height and speed didn't come into it?

                  Jacobs is a lot better boxer than Froch. He has size but also athleticism, speed, good movement. He makes Froch look like a caveman. I'm not even really a GGG fan (I thought he lost to Canelo) but skillwise he is well above Froch. GGG would have been a bad style matchup for him.

                    An inch longer and at least a couple of inches taller, Ward does not have to reach as much as Golovkin does to connect his jab on Froch.
