    Good he was a prick. Tainted himself with his attitude last year or so. I will remember him as an arrogant wanker.

    Sad now that I need to listen to him on sky every few weeks :@

    I'm not a Froch fan , but I respect the fact that he had a good career for his limitations of Boxing Skills. I think he's definitely made the right decision , although it will be difficult for him to deal with the lack of a "Buzz". Calzaghe found that also when he finished.
    I hope he has a good retirement.

    This seems like an odd time to retire.

    I expect him to come out of retirement and fight GGG.

    No surprise really and probably the right decision.

    He's looked anything but impressive in his last two fights and has achieved quite a lot for a guy with limited skills. Apart from a potential fight with GGG, there wasn't much else out there for him.

    Simply a warrior I'm glad he's retired and happy for him he's given us some amazing moments and is one of the most exciting fighters the UK has ever produced.
    I will never forget the buzz he gave me when he knocked out Jermaine Taylor in the final seconds of that fight.

    Whether or not you thought he was a massive prick, it can't be denied that he ended up being a terrific fighter - hard as nails, fearless and never in a pony fight.

    Great fighter and had a great career. He is an arsehole but so are most boxers and you really have to appreciate how many times this man has entertained us with his fights.


    That being said, it's quite clear that George Groves ruined him with the 2 beatings he dished out before that lucky punch

    Good for him, if you've decided you had enough of something it's best to get out.
    He had a great career in the ring and I'm sure he'll do well outside the ring.
    I'm sorry he didn't get that Vegas fight he wanted. Good luck!

    Carl gave it his all got to respect that, he has made loads of money got to respect that too but got to see him on sky dont want that, the man has the personality of Charlie big potatoes and all we are going to hear is how good he thought he was, bring back JC to tell him what a real champ is.

    If you're thinking about getting out, it's probably best to get out. He was a very good fighter and put on some great matches.

    I find it strange that he didn't want another crack at Ward, but if that's what he wants to do then more power to him. Wish him the best and hope he can transition well back to civilian life.

    But when he says "I have nothing left to prove", it depends on what he's talking about. If he feels that his legacy was of a very good fighter and a true warrior, he has nothing left to prove.

    If he feels that he should rank among the UK's best, with guys like Calzaghe and Hatton, then I think he's wrong - he hasn't proved that at all.

    I remember the look on his face when Taylor dropped him. Others who were watching with me said Taylor did it. But i remember saying, i dunno....that white dude looks composed...

    And as far as his last two fights. Some say he didn't look his best without considering this is a veteran who finds ways to win. That's what great fighters do.
    He left like he started. Winning by any means necessary.

    Now,


    Will be stay retired?
    Maybe froch and Calzaghe will become chums.
    All's lost! Everything's going to shit!
