The thing is Froch was an excellent amateur and always looked destined for great things. He medalled at the world amatuers and won 2 aba titles and finished at something like 90 -8 (although that is not official!)As a pro he has picked up bad habits and WILL get KTFO when he fights a big puncher, coz his defence is horrendous and he has relied too much on his chin (which has now been shown not to be invincible after being Knocked down by Jermaine 'Best and nicest intentions' Taylor )
