Carl Froch fought some decent punchers in his career.
‘The Cobra’ was famed for his all action style and granite chin and was only dropped twice in his professional career.
The first time coming in his epic bout with the American Jermain Taylor where Froch pulled off the win in the very last round of the fight.
The second time and probably most shocking was against George Groves where he was heavily decked in their first encounter. Somehow he fought on and his old mate Howard Foster controversially stopped the fight with Groves adamant to this day that he was fit to continue.

But speaking to The Ring, Froch revealed the biggest puncher he faced in his career was Robin Reid who he took on in 2007.
“He hurt me the most with a single shot. I can’t say George Groves because he caught me square on in the first fight, when I left my feet behind me. That was a heavy knockdown made worse by my balance being off. Also, after his fast start dwindled, I came on strong, so I can’t say Groves. I remember Reid hitting me and saying, ‘F—ing hell, that hurt.’ Jermain Taylor had me down, but that was more of a sharp shot. Robin Reid could really bang, and in my opinion he deserved the win over Joe Calzaghe in their fight. That said, Calzaghe had to be tough to walk through the right hands he took from Reid.”
