Froch eyes world scene

Carl Froch says he is ready to take on the best in the super middleweight division following his defeat of Mark Woolnough last Wednesday.
In the first defence of his Commonwealth crown, Froch became the first man to stop the tough Canadian.

"Woolnough is just the type of talented, tough opponent I need to be beating in order to progress," said the 26-year-old Nottingham stylist.

"I genuinely believe I could handle myself on the world stage right now."

And Froch's promoter Mick Hennessy believes Froch already has the tools to win a world title.

"It's tempting to move fast with Carl because there is no one who'll beat him," said Hennessy.

"We feel strongly he'd beat (WBC super middleweight champion) Cristian Sanavia tomorrow in seven rounds."

I want that Lonsdale belt and I will win it before going on to European and then world honours

Froch was due to have challenged Tony Dodson for the British title last week before the champion withdrew following a car crash.

And the situation regarding the domestic crown remains unclear.

"It's a case of waiting now for the Board of Control to decide what to do about the British title," added Froch.

"There's a chance Dodson will be out for some time, so they may nominate me to fight for the vacant title."

Hennessy has indicated Froch could fight Southampton's Matthew Barney in September if Dodson does not recover in time.

"I want that Lonsdale belt and I will win it before going on to European and then genuine world honours," said Froch.

Absolutely Taansend, P4P there is no bigger twat in British boxing, well maybe Brendan Ingle could give him a run

I saw Froch's last fight. If he wants to compete at world level he should:

1) Stop posturing and use his jab.

2) Learn how to slip/block punches.

froch can slip brilliantly but it's impossible to do it arms down for 12 rounds. look at herol graham, although granted graham had a more suspect chin. i know he's an arrogant bugger but i kinda like his unorthodox boxing style. he attacks very sharply, from unusual angles. has he got the style to allow a raised guard?

I'm sure he is capable of slipping punches, all i'm saying is he didn't at all in the last fight. Not can't box but won't box.

On another point, can anyone tell me there any actual benefit from keeping the left arm so low? It just looks like a pointless gesture to me.

Oh no

Not Froch

He is an ugly, crappy, larthagic, annoying, big nosed prick.

Did I mention he cant box and hes slow and has shit power?

You like Froch?

Maybe you should change your name to Ian "looooosseerrr" Beale

With Ingles lot I get it, he likes that stuff, but who trained Froch as a kid, anyone know? I forget who said it, but it was about Hamed (same style), "You can only go so far of the beaten track"

What's wrong with big noses?

I've never seen Froch or even heard him talk but I just like to wind up the Froch haters!!!

They'll all be fans when he's undisputed champ, the fickle heathens... :

If Pac retires and run for the congress next year, I'm guessing Mosley and PWill will fight for the p4p throne next year.

This thread is over 5 years old

Agree with this 100%. Sometimes I wonder if he's a bit simple in the head..

EDIT: Wow.. didn't realise this was a old thread. And to think after all this time he's only just won his first world title.
