    Froch just answers the question. Being froch though no doubt by the next time i look up this thread he`ll be villified as an attention seeker
    To be fair I'll only criticize him because he's from the UK.
    For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.

    The rest of the interview he goes on to talk about the day he had a pimple.
    McGirt recalling the minute break between the 9th round of the Ward fight "He said, 'Help me stand up and I'll finish the fight.'"

    To be fair he wasn't trying to glorify or romanticize anything... he just said he had a pretty typical working class UK upbringing - which is what he was asked to talk about...

    Froch has got a lot of haters... fuck he even said at the end of the video "just little things like that, it's not like I grew up in Beirut or anything"

    Hahaha stop trying to defend England's honor that's not what this thread is about. Listen to him, I believe you British call that 'thick'. Talking about being raised rough because there were mixed race and black people around

    It's my belief that Froch just isn't that intelligent, a bit simple Come on it's not his first offense either, he openly confuses Andre Ward and Andre Dirrell constantly. I believe if you ask him the guy he fought won the gold medal and is called the Son of God. Seriously, it's not being a hater to laugh at this, it kind of makes me like him more

    Poor old Froch... He answers a question about his childhood and tells the truth and people even slate him for that.

    I hope he wins the super 6 now, I thought it was Kesslers without doubt before it started but now I think Froch just might take it.

    Yup, he'll take it with his blistering hand speed, amazing technical ability and perfect foot placement.

    Or on his physical and mental toughness. I'm not saying the guy is brilliant but I think he's got a great shot at winning this tournament now. He fights Kessler next week and if he comes through that with a W there will be more than just me thinking he'll win. If Kessler only shows what he did vs Ward I think Froch will win too.

    I don't care what Kessler shows up. Froch's not winning. The Kessler that showed up against Ward could beat Froch as well. Froch has no lateral movement and has wide looping punches. A technical boxer like Kessler will pick him apart. Jermain Taylor was beating Froch before he ran out of gas and Kessler is a better fighter.

    I give Froch credit for finding a way to win against good opposition but it's only a matter of time before he loses. He has NO SHOT... I repeat NO SHOT against Ward. None.

    I disagree. Someone with Froch's workrate and chin has a great shot vs anyone at SMW. And as for Ward I think Dirrell will take him too.

    Having a chin doesn't score points and as far as workrate... Ward would dictate the pace of the action as Froch walks forward and gets peppered.

    We'll have to agree to disagree.

    PS. Froch is goofy looking.

    That is all.

    I am not saying Ward isn't the better as far as technique and skill go but I just feel that Froch walking him down for 12 rounds could force him to be over defensive and if Froch does catch him with some good shots chances are he'll KO him.

    Ok... and what say you in regards to his goofy face? Any thoughts or concerns?

    Gotta say he could do with a bit of a nose size reduction, if that thing gets cut open he'll probably bleed to death. Otherwise i have no thoughts on the matter!!
