GGG hits very hard, is hungry and is looking to raise his profile, whereas Froch is in decline and looking to finish his career. If Froch takes the fight I'll be hugely surprised, but I'd also give him some big respect. The thing is, there could be some very big money on the table and that could tempt him.

If it happened I would definitely make GGG the favourite. I might also be tempted to bet on him being the first guy to stop Froch.
This is a pretty solid preview. Froch doesn't have the defense to avoid GGG's punches for 12 rounds, eventually GGG will catch him, and the question is whether Froch can take the punch or avoid taking too much hurt. He might not be able to. That's the issue. I always wonder with big punchers like GGG how they'll handle being on the receiving end of punches. GGG's faced big punchers before but nothing like Froch. It'll be interesting.
