I don't think Froch belongs with the better American super middles who themselves are probably a step below Kessler let alone Calzaghe. He fights like a slow motion RJ. He hasn't got the reflexes to avoid punches and with his hands down he gets hit a lot. His power is above average but not awesome. He's not quickfooted or that fast with his hands. A good boxer will shut him out and a boxer who punches hard will stop him. Dale Westerman made him look ordinary for several rounds before he gassed out and Dale is 36 and has never been of international caliber. Froch's days are numbered.
