Thread: Should Carl Froch be admitted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame?

As much as I like Barry Mcguigan as a person I didn't think he did enough to get in

I presume he got in based on what was going on out of the ring at the time he was fighting. But in saying that its not exactly an exclusive list.

Blimey, the whole of Saddo's in agreement (well, almost). Miracle.

He's a shoo-in.

Should he get in? No. Will he get in? Yes.

As stated earlier, he didn't duck anyone, and went across the world fighting the best during super six.

More of an internationally recognised and respected pro boxer than say Andre Ward or other so called greats still fighting.

A shoe in for HOF. Am not a big fan, but respect and it is due here.

He's ducked quite a few recently , especially with the Chavez - Vegas saga , spitting his dummy out at every other possible opponent mentioned.
I also don't think he is more respected than Ward. Although Ward has let himself down with non-activity in the last few years, He is light years ahead of Froch in every facet of Boxing, and ultimately that is the most important thing Surely?
The IBHOF is clearly a load of bollocks if any World Champion can get in. Shouldn't it be more elitist than that ?
Still Sylvester Stallone is in, so I kind of think that says it all really.

He ducked Andre Ward.

He ducked James De Gale too, and that really saying something isnt it?

who gives a fuck

Would you care to elaborate and do so objectively?

He retired. Surely you can't duck someone if you are not fighting again?

I was being sarcastic in reply to previous poster

I'm hoping that the agreement is that the HOF is a joke so he is getting in because he definitely was never an elite fighter. He was a good fighter. That's the extent of it.

International -- people from any country
Boxing -- Froch did that
Hall -- a place
Fame -- he's famous!

Seems like he qualifies.

Yeah of course, very impressive resume.

He could have took another shot at Ward.

Imagine if he beat Ward with a groves shot...just imagine.

He could have at least gave it another go like kessler.
