Re: Can Froch move up to LH?
Agree with p4pKing, froch moving up puts him at a disadvantage as he would theoretically have speed and maybe agility over his opponents, but the extra weight would kill that. His style is not terribly evasive to begin with and you can still find a few Light Heavies that throw at least the type of combos that groves caught him with. Couple that with Froch really being to brave for his own good it it came down to a slug fest and its really a move he doesn't need to make. The fight against Jr. Did make sense because Jr. was a fake tough guy who was slow anyway and froch could have easy found and countered him and broke him down all night as long as he didn't get caught standing and trading in the pocket by a big sweeping hook, which he manages to avoid most of the time (its the straight punches that are surprising carl now)
They want your @$$ beat because upsets make news. News brings about excitement, excitement brings about ratings. The objective is to bring you up to the tower and tear your @$$ down. And if you don't believe that, you're crazy.
