He's an inch taller than Froch and has less than half an inch in reach over him, hardly gargantuan.

Sorry, you're right, Oganov is just pushing 5 foot 9...

It was his most recent opponent, Derrick Findley who was 5 foot 6...

He might be stronger than two pumped up middle weights (arguably light middle in Derrick Findley's case) but he's not going ot be stronger than Froch, that's one thing you can count on.
