    Foster KO3, maybe earlier, I mean Froch never even had an easy fight at 168 against anyone that was half-good, never mind the consensus =2 at worst at 175.

    I agree with the prediction. But I feel like most people usually rank both Charles and Moore above Foster. Some rank him behind Spinks as well. I dunno if I'd agree with that with that though.

    He's definitely the consensus #1 puncher in history of 175.

    Probably be a repeat of Foster-Rondon.

    Knowing Froch's big mouth, he'd probably piss Bob off. And of course, he'd regret pissing Bob off.

    Of course he was hurt!

    Taylor hurt him and dropped him. As did Groves in their first fight.

    Kessler hurt him in their first fight. And Dirrell hurt him as well.

    Aye, Froch's reputation as an 'iron-chinned' hardman is way over the top. He was hurt loads of times, including by Jean Pascal in his first title fight. He was a tough motherfucker, certainly, but he could be plenty hurt.

    As for this matchup, Foster lights him up something awful.

    Agreed with Feebs about the chin. What Froch had is alot of HEART and recuperative powers.

    But it won't help him with Foster. He'd get bombed out by the mid rounds.

    The worst Froch was ever hurt was vs Groves. He absolutely fucking somnambulated into that right hand.

    Agreed. He could well have been stopped if it had happened earlier in the first.

    Charles, Moore, Spinks, Foster...all bad boys.

    I agree that Foster was the best puncher. It's possible that Jones at his best would have whupped them all though.
