Im sorry but going 11rds with Brian Magee proves nothing id like to see him in with a guy ranked and coming in to win. Why has he yet to fight even a fringe contender.... Zuniga, Bika? anyone.
Oh yeah, forgot about mcaee, even at that stage of his career, Reid was able to drop Eamon at will, ok Froch stopped him but magee held on for dear life against Robin.

Honestly, Carl and Henessy sports are quite happy with his position right now, everyone thinks hes shiit rather than knowing it;D
just wait till the Pascal fight and we can see him in a real fight. Pascal will be knocked out ;D
I happen 2 have a bit of a soft spot 4 Froch,I want him 2 do well,but his fans are delutional! Theres this 1 that comes on the Sports site I go on,and some of the shit he comes out with is outrages! "Calzaghe ducked Froch" "Froch would destroy Calzaghe" etc He wont be reasoned with! I was starting 2 think it was Froch at 1 point!Quote:

well im not like that at all. I know that JC would beat Carl Froch. It doesnt mean that Carl wouldnt give him a good fight though! JC didnt duck him its only because Carl doesnt have a big enough name and JC is only after money now so therefore Froch would not get a lot for fighting him. Either way I think it would be a tough fight for JCQuote:

It happens all the time with the WBO. Just like when Marquez was Naz's mandatory for 2 years and Warren didn't want Naz to risk it.
Warren and Sauerland have the every belt in every division, apart from a couple of puerto ricans home-soil champs.
They know the hand(s) that feeds them.

I want Carl to do well really but he does come out with the most incredable bullshit sometimes.
Pascal is a step in the right direction but is by no means worldclass.
I watched Pascals last fight, or clips of it on youtube and he got hurt, he has a decent style but not much power, it will make an interesting fight.
I think the biggest thing in Pascals favour is he had 5 fights last year and 1 at the beggining of this year so should be sharp:confused:
Jean Pascal is hardly world class. If he KO's Pascal it will mean nothing at all to me. Froch wastes all this time, talk all this trash, and the best he can come up with is Jean Pascal? Here's my take on this fight. Both guys have built names for themselves padding records with bums. Now they will fight and the winner gets a "big" and "important" win. Froch fans will claim with win means something when it means nothing. Let him fight Kessler, Andrade, or even Bika, then come and talk to me. Froch is a very average, highly protected fighter who will get sparked when he gets in with actual world class boxer.Quote:

I just want to see if he is legit to end this talk once and for all - but i dont blame lack of fights on him.
Froch bring nothing 2 the table though and thats what it boils down 2 at the end of the day,I dont know the ins and outs of Taylor Vs Lacey,but Lacey brings more 2 the table than Froch.Taylor Vs Lacey would of been massive over in the US a few years ago,thats still a big fight over there,nobody in the US apart from your hardcore boxing fans have heard of Froch!
Pascal tells us nothing, should have been fighting that type of comp a couple years ago. He was offered career high from Warren for a free shot at Calzaghe last summer and didn't take it, whether Warren would have tied him down afterwards is besides the point when you get the chance of lifetime to prove the total bollocks you've been spouting for two years prior.
