SPOILER - CARL FROCH

Same here, I also don't really rate either of them. In fact I picked Kelly to splatter him in 7 rounds.

I just think they are both better and more proven than Frock.

They are borderline world class, which is a lot more than can be said for frock at this stage.

Also, chancing it a bit because he is bigger, is quite a bit different than your original statement of Eddy has "no chance" ::

 

i stand by the no chance statement/

 

So then why did you say you're "chancing it"?

You're chancing it that one fighter has "no chance"? ::

 

::

 

I like fighter's of all walks of life. Like I said before, there's something in Froch that I've always liked and as time's worn on, I've discovered other things that I like as well. Don't get me wrong, I don't believe he's world class and the like right now, but I do think that he has the chance to become such. There's plenty of question marks at this point though.

 

Have you seen his fight with Robin Reid Tam?.. It should have offended you a bit, it offended me, and I usually like my fighters a bit wild and sloppy.

 

The Opponent was Obviously LIMITED, but REED Liked what he Saw from Froch...He Fights w/a SWAGGER that REED likes...Nice Assortment of Punches, Nice Workrate...

Froch ISN'T N there Pussyfooting Around, he's TRYING to Take U Out, yet he's Not RECKLESS about it...

REED DISlikes how LOW Froch Holds his Left Hand though...Against a Higher Level of Comp, that Could COST Him Dearly...Froch ISN'T Quite QUICK Enough to Get Away w/the Hands LOW Approach, Against a Quality Opponent...

Froch's DEFINITELY 1 of the 10 Best Supermiddles N the WORLD, Possibly even Top 5...

Overall, Froch's a Good Fighter...Not an All Time Great, NATHAN "Exceptional" about him, but he's a GOOD Fighter...He'll Probably Win a Version of the 168lb Title @ Some Point...


REED

 

Excellent assessment- agreed entirely :clap:

There is an excellent chance that Froch will be in line to fight Kessler sometime soon, presuming Kessler win's back the WBC bauble. I couldn't pick Froch to win that fight, because Kessler generally takes apart fighter's who have Carl's style, but he would have a live, punchers chance at least.

Agreed?

 

Yep...

Froch has the Proverbial "Puncher's Chance" N that Fight...But REED would HEAVILY Favor Kessler...Froch Seems to have CalzagheISH CONFIDENCE when he Fights, but he LACKS Joe's SPEED, Lefty Style & Overall Athletic Gifts...Plus, his Chin is UNPROVEN...

But Froch hits HARDER than Calzaghe, N Addition to Throwing STRAIGHTER Shots...

Froch-Kessler would B a VERY Entertaining Fight N REED's Opinion...Froch would HAVE to Keep his Left Hand UP or PAY DEARLY...But if Calzaghe could HURT Kessler, Froch Most CERTAINLY Could as Well...

QUIETLY, Supermiddle has Become a Deeeeeeeeeeeeep Division, even w/Calzaghe Moving up...


REED

 

Agreed, except with the title winning comment....168 figures to be deep enough for the medium future, I wouldn't see it as a sure thing that he would win even a version of the title any time soon

 

I think it is a horrible title for a spoiler thread
