Jeff Lacy. End of. Best super middleweight of all time was Joe. And I love Froch, I spend too many hours analysing this sort of stuff, and I’m sure Joe would have danced around Carl, boxed his head off from range with the odd aggressive front foot sortie. Carl would only have had a punchers chance, and he’d not have got close enough.

[@ianjones9322]

Ive done the same, froch wouldnt have made it past 6 on his best day, to even speak this like its a genuine contest is an isult to joe and boxing in general. Its like saying chisora would of beaten mike tyson. They both heavy weights lol its utter ridiculous they were levels apart in skill.
