Re: Carl Froch offically retires
Froch has always talked a lot of shit. I don't think he genuinely believes he has a better record than Calzaghe or that he could have beaten him.Originally Posted by bzkfn
This is why people dislike him. If he thinks this he's deluded. Calzaghe was the best Super-Middle in the world. He beat a prime Kessler well and took his 0. He was undefeated and he won every single version of the Super-Middleweight Title. He then went up to Light-Heavyweight and beat the lineal champion. Carl did not do any of that so don't pretend your stats smash Calzaghe's Carl, because no matter how many times you bitch about it on Sky he was a better fighter than you, and he would have schooled you had you fought.
Froch achieved a lot more than someone with his very limited skill set should have done. He was tough and relentless and has a couple of decent wins on his record, but he is never going to be seen as an all time great or a particularly good boxer even. Above all, I think he will be remembered for his toughness, granite chin and old school warrior approach. He did pretty well without being spectacular or particularly memorable. He's the kind of fighter people respect rather than rave about.
