this would be a very good fight, woodhall was much more technically sound with a very good jab it would be a pick'em fight i say Woodhall decision

On the basis of what we've seen of Froch so far, I'd say Woodhall by decision. Richie was a very sound (if unfantastic) boxer and I think would win a battle of the jabs while staying out of the way of Froch's biggest bombs.

But I think, if Froch continues to perform as he does against top competition, I would revise that opinion. The big question about Froch is this: can he continue performing as impressively as he stays at the top of the division? If so, I think he'll be deservingly become a tough hypothetical h2h boxer.

Woodhall was a very good boxer with a fantastic jab and very good footwork!! I'd lean towards him on points!! Richie was also a very very tough man and could fight when he needed to. Froch is at his weakest when facing good fighters with good jabs..;)
