Froch's chin is rock solid imo.

I think Froch beats Andrade if they meet but it would be a great fight for the fans, guaranteed excitement and action.

For the record I think Froch is technically better than Andrade, who was 1-14 as an amatuer.

Froch looks sloppy at times but he's got skills.
Bute and Kessler, both of whom have legitimate power beyond that of Jermaine Taylor, were landing almost at will against Andrade and he walked right through it. Taylor hurt Froch several times in this fight. Also, Mack may have dropped Andrade, which excellent punches, but Andrade never seemed seriously hurt.

Bute doesn't really have power. Since stepping up to world class level he's nearly always taken the distance, even a shot William Joppy went 10 rounds. His only big KO was against Berrio but he'd already been knocked out about 5 times before.

Bute wouldn't have the power to hurt Froch, Froch would knock him out in the late rounds. Kessler is a big puncher but if I recall against Andrade it was all jabs.

I'd pick Froch over Andrade if they ever meet. Oh and Alan Green beats Andrade too
I disagree with almost everything you say (respectfully). Bute may not have the power his record indicates, but I'd wager he hits siginificantly harder than Jermaine Taylor, and Taylor had Froch hurt on numerous occasions.

As for the Kessler - Andrade fight, I recall Kessler's 1-2 being the story of that fight. Andrade ate a ton of straight right hands.

Andrade - Froch is close to a pick'em IMO, but I side with Andrade. And Andrade would absoluletly ruin Allan Green who's biggest claim to fame is beating up on mediocre fighters.
