I just don't see it, thought he looked poor again. Looked slow and you just can't become an elite fighter with defense like that. Especially if you don't have incredible reflexes.

He didnt even get caught that although the fighter wasnt the best, his defence wasnt too bad if you ask me. Did u ever see him take anything more than a little jab or a right? Nothing major if you asked me. As ive said, his range and footwork help him with his defence. It may look easy to hit him, but his presence in the ring can really put you off looking for a big shot. Who has ever landed one that you can think of? I dont understand why people think his defence is going is such a big problem. There is more talk about is not being so good, although he has won all of his fights. Cant be too bad if you ask me.
The other guy just didn't do anything though, hard to get hit often if the other guy's not throwing. He was just too worried about Froch's offence. I think that's partly your point but the fact is that won't work forever, when he finally fights a good fighter that will change, it always does, power's not enough by itself.
I have seen less of Froch than you have, I have no doubt of that. I've only seen like 6 or 7 of his fights and for the most part most of the guys were too defensive to land at will on him (there was one fight when he was coming up couple years ago where he got tagged at will, I can't remember his name, maybe somebody will, he was an unknown) but that will change as his opposition level goes up. Can you imagine Kessler having a hard time landing his 1-2 on Froch? I just can't.

Carl Froch is one tough guy, no doubt about that. However, based on what I saw last night, he'd be ill-advised to seek a fight with Kessler, Pavlik, or Calzaghe. Any one of those would rip him a new one.

Froch is getting better and better. His hands will always stay down that is his style. He has a good defence and tucks his chin in. He has power and a good range of punches. I believe he can live with the world class fighters and he showed respect to Galzaghe which is a sign of class and let his boxing do the talking. I believe he will become a world champion and then he will beat the Kessler's and Miranda's of the world and unify the titles. He is very good.

But he is improving though, that is clearly evident from his fights. The power is a factor though which WILL be the difference in many of Carl fights in the future. You simply can't take those right hands and not be effected. Carl ALWAYS turns it into a fight and although he hasnt faught the best its a good start for him I think. He would have worked on a lot more, but against the pole he was just trying to end it fast, because he needed a big KO to be honest to get any attention. That is why the Inkin fight would have been very intresting last night to see where he stood amongst a higher tier fighter. He was confident Carl and he has been fucked around a lot before this, so props to him for putting on a good fight. Kessler COULD find it difficult against Froch, thats why I believe the fight should happen in the future. It would be a cracker but for the time being both men need to get a top ten name on their records again.
Maybe Jeff Lacy should turn some attention to Carl, this would be a good fight for both men I believe who need a push to get more recognition. Lacy needs a name on his record and can bang too, Froch needs a name and a top ten fighter on his record. Could be intresing I think.
