Well ahead of 'AJ's heavyweight showdown with Alexander Povetkin, on Saturday, live on Sky Sports Box Office, we put coach McCracken on the spot?

Froch was a two-time super-middleweight world champion, Joshua holds three of the four recognised titles, but which one of the two trains harder, spars harder, sticks to the gameplan and of course, moans the most.

Both of them totally believe they are going to win, have got massive hearts, are smart men and are serious fighters. If you fight either of them, you've got a fight on your hands.
