In a very odd turn of events, considering his strong pro-British stance, my opinion has come to be in line with @erics44 a number of times recently.
He's correct on multiple points: Mack has been ahead in all the fights he lost. He's also correct that Mack can box a bit and Froch has had some weakness against boxers, although he looked spectacular against Bute. However, he is a favorite here for a reason. Mack was chosen for a reason. Froch can punch. Mack has been knocked out. Do the math. The most likely outcome is Froch bombs on Mack late for a KO.
Mack isn't as tough an opponent as Grachev was for Bute, but Bute needed to get by a tough opponent mentally to prepare for Froch. Froch just needs a fight so he can stay fresh for the Bute clash in the spring.
