Come on Carl Froch haters

[Tysonbruno]

Carl deserves credit now that fight on Saturday night was a great display of heart,chin and sheer determination Froch would not be denied. I used to be a critic of Froch not so much of his fighting ability but how he spoke after a fight but now he backs up his boasts his fight with Paschall was a war a great fight to watch then to follow that straight up with a defence against the number 1 contender Jermain taylor was very impressive and the fight itself was very edge of the seat stuff at times. The 12th round was brilliant i was screaming at my tv and jumping around the room and ive got tonsilitus at that so it didnt do my throat any good at all. The excitement for the British crowd in that 12th round must have been immense when your thinking your man is going to lose on points then BANG!! he has Taylor rockin and rolling it was a great win for Froch and to good wins back to back so now all the the doubters must stop doubting. He could have fought someone like a weight drained past his best Eubank for a title then made his first defence against a Bronko Sobot but he did'nt he went to the challengers back yard and gave us all an exciting fight.

I give him credit for winning, but(im not hating now ) his defence is god damn awful, when he throws the left jab his right hand just drops, he's so open it's scary, if Taylor, not the biggest hitting middleweight can drop him badly I think someone like Kessler would ko him.
I don't know why he keeps his hands so low he doesn't have the reflexs to get out of the way of punches, he should watch the video of that fight realise how bad defencivly he is and work on it, if he does that i'd give him a good chance against anyone in the division.

It's a bit ironic that a self-admitted Calzaghe hater, that wont give him credit for anything, starts a thread asking for Froch to get deserved praise.

If Froch was 25 instead of 31 he wouldn't have been defending in Taylor's backyard either

I agree he's so open I think he has a hard time beating Kessler with out making some serious adjustments to his game but he went down after already being rattled from taking 3-4 heavy shots from Taylor right on his chin and then a left hook/right hook combination... right on his chin.

Other than looking confused as fuck (first time he's ever been down) you could see his eyes were 100% there and his legs were barely affected. Don't think his chin or how hard Taylor can hit are the issue. Just Carls lack of defence.

But yeah, however good his chin is Kessler hits hard enough and is accurate and big enough to floor anybody if he manages to hit them so Froch really needs to work on developing some form of guard.

i give Froch credit for the win, he won without any controversy at all, but no one can deny the fact that Taylor did make stupid mistakes such as not using his jab for the last 5 rounds, he stayed to stationary, and didn't prepare properly cause his stamina was utter shit, but like i said, that's not Froch's problem, he took advantage of his biggest opportunity Taylor didn't, props to Froch, i'm no hater, i just don't think that Froch is #1 at 168

[Tysonbruno]

And this was'nt froch at his best he made plenty of mistakes he doesnt normally make i think the occasion got to him abit he admitted it himself.

Which fight was Froch at his best?

His best opponent was a slighly worse for wear middle weight, he struggled and got dropped, I dont think its going to get any better for Froch at the ripe old age of 31, his physical prime is behind him, hges making big mistakes in his style of fighting, an even bigger mistake would be to tempt Calzaghe out
