I KNEW someone would post this....but I thought "no I'll leave it....can't be bothered to create two threads or state the obvious"!!
As everyone knows I was always very critical of the farmer.... but he'd have beaten both those guys. He'd have beaten DeGale a lot easier than Jack, but I'd pick him over Jack also.
DeFail would get his ass kicked by Froch. Look no further than comparing their fights against Bute to get an idea of the difference in quality between the two. And Froch owns two stoppage wins over DeGale's Ginger father. I can't believe I'm defending Carl Froch. DeGale is shit. His defense is HORRIBLE.... Hell, he's actually MORE hittable than Froch was. And Froch had by far the bigger firepower.
Badou Jack also beat Groves, IMO clearly despite the SD so it isn't quite that simple. I agree Froch beats both, but Jack's very good basic skill and calmness makes it a bit tricky
I already said that Jack would be a difficult fight for Froch. But DeFail would get thrashed. DeGale IMO would have lost had he fought prime versions of Bute and Dirrell.
