Froch will have a world title within 18/24 months imo 8)
Wow !
A world title after only 7 years as a pro then, when hes 32, awesome ;D
The tortoise beat the hare didn't he ;)
;D
I will wait and see when he actually beats someone in top 10 :-\
Froch is all talk! Calzaghe and Kessler would wipe the floor with him. Hell even Jermaine Taylor would hammer him!
Heard he's decided to fight Adamu again to defend his commonwealth title. This after calling out Robin Reid on Friday after the Oakey - Spartacus fight. Sums Carl Froch up really, talks BS all the time and has no balls to back it up! If he's too scared to take on a fading Robin Reid, hows he ever gonna capture a World title?
Hennesey sports put a FIRM bid in to fight Calzaghe but Warren wanted 'Options' on Carl if he happened to beat him..
Wonder why that would be ;)
Your forgetting that the Cobra is now getting into position to force these fights through his ranking.
He's always gonna have at the very least a punchers chance against anyone in the division :)
Just got a sh1te defence - gonna get sparked if he leaves his chin out against a big hitter :-\
He's got a brilliant equalizer with that right hand but agree (and always have) that he's wide open to a good lamping!
Just makes him more exciting to watch imo though and he'll never change and he does have brilliant reflexes.
Granite chin too.
FROCH v CALZAGHE domestic superfight article..
Kerry Duffy www.britishboxing.net
With the recent ‘super-fight' between Oscar De La Hoya and Floyd Mayweather Jr still fresh in our minds, it seems Frank Warren has latched on to the sense of excitement it provoked, by announcing his intentions to stage his very own super-fights.
Whether the hype around Mayweather and De La Hoya was justified after 36 minutes is debatable, but it certainly got everyone talking, before and after. It generated a palpable excitement in the world of boxing. The result was unpredictable; the pre-fight publicity dramatic, the bad guy was on top form and the good guy kept his composure. All the boxes ticked for a potential war. Regardless of the result, it was a positive move having two big names in the ring together and willing to at least risk defeat in their journey to immortality within the ropes.
Warren is willing to utilise his useful stable in the hope of re-creating the domestic rivalry that occurred in the 1990's between the likes of Chris Eubank, Nigel Benn, Michael Watson and Steve Collins. This time, though Warren is concentrating on the lower end of the weight divide and set to enthral us all with his men at feather and lightweight.
It is often suggested that a lot of fighters at the top have avoided their potential banana skins/nemesis; instead opting to fight those deemed less of a risk to future world domination. Personally I'm loathe to make any such claim as every time a fighter enters the ring they do so at their own risk, but this accusation has been levelled at everyone from Calzaghe to Mayweather…”so and so can't be considered pound for pound ‘cos he's avoided whatsisname.”
I feel it's the fans that lose out in the end, though. Joe Calzaghe's recent fight against Contender runner up, Peter Manfredo was a perfect example of the fans feeling short-changed. After he's stunning victory over Jeff Lacy maybe we expected more.
So whom would the public like to see in a genuine super-fight?
Hatton vs. Witter, Haye vs. Maccarinelli, Calzaghe vs. Froch, to name but three on the domestic front. I would personally love to see Joe Calzaghe against Carl Froch, but of course we are led to believe that each side want the fight yet the other can't meet demands. Money, money, money….(N.B. Warren has just won the purse bids for Froch's mandatory Commonwealth defence against Charles Adamu which makes the picture more interesting - Ed.)
I'm sure Calzaghe in the twilight of his career is quite rightly looking for American exposure and big money and maybe doesn't deem Froch worthy enough, but I don't doubt the level of interest in Britain would be massive and with what appears to be a mutual dislike on both sides it would shape up to be explosive. I can't imagine ‘lose' is a word in either of their vocabularies and Froch just keeps getting stronger and looks ripe for a great showdown. What better test for Calzaghe?
That would a super-fight worthy of Eubank, Benn et al.
:detective:

Would love to see Froch v JC, Froch is obviously so hungry, would be a proper tear up ;)Quote:

Top promoter Frank Warren has won the right to stage Carl Froch's Commonwealth Super-Middleweight title defence against Ghana's Charles Adamu.
Purse bids were opened today at the British Boxing Board of Control's headquarters in Cardiff and the winning bid delivered by Warren will once again ensure that Froch gets one of his biggest ever paydays courtesy of a rival promoter.
The amount bid by Warren is believed to be double that of Froch's own promoter Mick Hennessy.
Warren will put the fight on at the M.E.N Arena in Manchester on Saturday 22nd September.

I think Warren is trying to get control of Froch.
He tried getting him through an options clause in a calzaghe fight contract.
He has given Robin Reid a 4 fight contract that was leading up to a Froch fight or Calzaghe fight had he beaten Froch.
He is now showing Froch he can earn at least twice as much with a real propmoter.
He either wants Froch for himself or hes trying to keep him out of Calzaghes way so bigger names can be brought in as opponents
Frank is a c*nt but he is a good promoter
He's an average promoter. He's the best in Britain, but I feel he's been exposed as unable to deliver. It's been a while since he delivered a big fight.Quote:

:) F W he knows the Cobra is the future at super middle, undefeated, strong, and can punch his wht, and has a style that will draw the crowds,Warrens winning purse bid shows how much he rates Froch, its believed to be double that of Hennessys, even though Froch has allready beaten Adamu, If carl takes the fight i can see Hennessy coming to an agrement with Warren so that he may contribute in the future of Carls career, and with Warren being the top promoter, he would get carl the exposure he deserves, and an eventual world title shot,Any fighter offered more money by a rival promoter, should take it, and his currant promoter should let him, Froch in my opinion is a future world champion but will not acheive that if he does not get international exposure, love him or hate him Warren is the man and will get it for Froch, after this fight with Adama, and with Warrens contacts in the STATES Froch would get his chance ;)
Froch has a great power that can hurt anyone, he has a very good uppercut if that hits u,u r in trouble,but his defence is open thats were the best in the division will take him apart.
Hennesey fires back
