    What would have happened if Froch decided to move up in weight after the second Groves fight, and take on Stevenson ?

    I'm not much of a Froch fan, but I'd sure as Hell root for him against that piece of shit Stevenson.

    HOWEVER, I think Stevenson would have taken Froch out. Too big a puncher, and Froch is too easy a target. Plus, Froch freely admitted that light heavys were too big for him. Froch eats too many straight lefts here and gets laid out.

    size wouldn't be a factor. Stevenson fought at supermiddle before and he's far from being a big lhw. Agreed with the rest. I also think that Froch is taylormade for stevenson.

    To be fair, I'd give Froch an outside chance, due to the fact that Stevenson has a mediocre chin and shit defense.

    As opposed to Kov, whom Froch had zero shot in Hell against.

    Froch would have to try to outbox him, but unlike Arthur Abraham, not does Stevenson have KO power, Froch despite his heart doesn't have the best chin.

    I'd root heavily for Froch, but he's just not a light heavy. He's got the perfect frame for super middle. Nothing more.
