    Is Froch's size advantage enough to overcome the astronomical gap in class?

    I always tought that Monzon style wouldn't translate well at the higher weights. Seems to me that he would be a lot less effective without a height advantage

    Tell that to Tom Boggs.

    Monzon, though listed at 5'11, was consider to 6'0 imo.

    Froch has a measly inch of height on him.

    Without checking, I think Monzon has a reach advantage.

    I think the skill gap is much wider than the size gap.

    I think Monzon takes control at some point and beats the Hell outta Frochy.

    Froch is at least 6,2, which is bute listed height (ive seen bute irl and he's a legit 6,2, and Froch is as tall if not a bit taller than him, as we can see with the weight in pics).

    and what's the deal with the Boggs comment ?? he was shorter than monzon

    I admit being off about Bogs' height.

    I dont recall Froch being much taller than Ward, and Ward is 6'0.
