Arum to Bunce: "Sturm in October, Froch in January is the plan"

[Tam Seddon]

thing is if Pavlik drops Froch the way Taylor did, he finishes him, that being said, it's a toss up fight

Pavlik wont be as fasting starting as Taylor was, if Taylor fights in the first 5 rounds throughout the whole 12 he would beat ANY fighter believe me on that one. I think your correct its a pick em fight, but Pavlik wouldnt have fough anybody like Froch before, whos shown he can really dig deep when he needs too. I think its a battle of power and who has the better chin, both like to apply pressure and come forward thats why I think this fight really could have fight of the year written all over it.

Bernard Hopkins? Just because he's a technical fighter doesn't mean he doesn't show that same heart to pull himself through in tough fights or dominate someone who's expected to KO him like he did with both Tarver & Pavlik. Ironically, I do think Pavlik is the best option for Froch. Bute will outbox him & possibly KO him, he hits harder than Taylor & even though in my personal opinion the fight should have been stopped, he showed great heart against Andrade when out on his feet. Kessler is too good as well if he's near the same fighter on his return & outboxes him, Andrade would outmacho him & take him out in the later rounds.

B hop would beat Froch hands down and I dont deny that fact, Froch-Pavlik is a totally different fight to the Hopkins one because anything could happen in any round. Pavlik or Froch could pull a knockout, or Carl Froch in the later rounds can change his game plan and try and box like he did against Pascal, I think Pavlik would struggle with that change of pace. Kessler is too overrated hes not done anything since a losing fight to JC, whats he done since ? Carls fought and beaten a better fighter in JT and Kessler hasnt done anything. Bute-Froch would be a tough fight for Carl I dont deny that fact, but Carl would be the hardest fight to date for Bute and I think Carl could stop him late in an exciting fight. As for Andrade, are you serious? Andrade wouldnt take Carl in the later rounds, it would be an exciting fight of who has the better chins, and I think Carl is technically better than Andrade and he would win a UD.
