Can't believe anyone is saying Hagler stops Froch. Groves (who is quick and can really dig) had Froch in real trouble in first round and couldn't stop him. Groves is also way bigger than Hagler. As is pretty much every top level fighter Froch faced and several were bigger hitters. I can see a prime Hagler winning by a 2-3 point margin but no way he stops Froch or ever gets comfortable enough against Froch's own punching power to be able to go after him. The only thing that makes a points win harder is Froch's reach and fact he can box more than a bit, certainly he wasn't the walking granite jaw people seem to think he was. Froch was a good amateur who won world titles the hard way, must have a bit more about him than just the chin.
