My opinion . Destined for massive things has got the lot ,I've been in Boxing along time and few capture the imagination like this man .

I think he is a very good fighter, entertaining to watch and seems like a nice fella . I think he just falls short at world class but I hope he proves me wrong.
He`s no Joe Calzaghe and never will be, but i also dont think he`ll flop stateside like your clinton woods.
True test of Froch will come in April, If he stands up to the test and manages to outwork taylor and take a decision then he indeed has a future at world level.
If however he gets exposed badly by fighting a far superior opponent to what he is used to you may as well just book up your next 5 froch fights at the nottingham arena!!!
one dangerous horrible bloke
Has lots of skills when coming forward and a really solid beard, but his defence is about as bad as it gets and I am 100% sure that IF he ever fights a really top class big puncher he will get sparked.
Taylor fight is very interesting, becuase we know Taylor doesn't like the game and doesn't like a tear up and he's gonna get one! Hard to call!
Fantastic chin.
Everything else about him pretty average. That said wouldnt be surprised if he sparked Taylor.
When God said to the both of us "Which one of you wants to be Sugar Ray?" I guess I didnt raise my hand fast enough

Yea he is no Joe Calzaghe,
He looks like he can take a good shot, but defense is terrible, left hand is always down around his waist leaving his chin out in the open,
I do think he will beat taylor if he doesnt i dont think any one will be seeing him in the US for a while after.
I don't think Froch has beaten anyone of note yet to prove to me he is truly world class - he's beaten some good fighters but April 25th will give him the opportunity to take it to the next level.
He's no Calzaghe and I currently believe he will go same way as Enzo Maccarinelli and just fall short on the big stage.
Looking forward to it mind....
Don't bully fat kids - they've got enough on their plate
The good thing about Froch, or bad if you like is that he can take a clump so even if he gets beat, its going to be brutal, he's never going to get flattened quickly.

He talks a lot of rubbish, he has balls, he has an A grade chin, he is fan friendly, he has limited defensive skills but counters that with a will to win at any cost, Mr Froch is growing on me, I back him to beat Taylor who could hardly deal with little Kassim Ouma.
I don't know the first thing about this Carl Froch, all I know is that he has a pretty nice following and if it werent for his nut huggers, I would not even know his name

Mr Whittington, when you say "has got the lot", that would suggest he has a top defence along with his other tools, which has to be far from the truth. Although I don't really know if anyone at 168 has the power to ko him, just beat him on points.
I see him as the kind of man that will absolutely go to war before he gets beaten, big, powerful and aggressive with a medium sized dollop of speed to go with it. For me, a true test at 168 isn't Taylor, its Kessler now Calzaghe has gone. I also think that Calzaghe would have ran rings around him to a UD.
I don't think he's got the lot by any means. Before the Pascal fight we were being told he had devastating power, which didn't seem to bear out in the fight, now its that he has a great chin, which truthfully has yet to be tested by a real world-class puncher. I don't think Taylor KO's him, because I don't think he has the power, but TBH if he got into a sluggin match with Kessler or Andrade, I couldn't see him coming out on top. Plus, he's got fuck all charisma, I don't get how people get so wound up by the little things Amir Khan says, but this guy proclaiming himself as the best SMW in the world off beating Jean Pascal & saying he beats Calzaghe in his prime doesn't make people wanna see him get laid out
He's a good fighter.Would like to see what happens when he gets pushed on the back foot cause his defence is poor but he can take a punch.I think he falls short against the like of Kessler.
Would like to see him in with Edison Miranda fink that would be a good fight.
