How good is Carl Froch?

I don't know how good he is. But he certainly haven't proven feck all yet.
Cruising against a SMW no.127 rated opponent (Dodson - last fight) does NOT equal being competitive against world level opposition.
The fact that Froch has yet to achieve ANYTHING, despite being already fairly old, leads me to believe he's not the second comming.. as some would have you believe.

His completely intolerable self-promovation, constant praising himself is beyond belief.
I really hope someone will beat him to a pulp very soon. I expect it to happen whenever he faces ANYONE inside top 10.

Would rate him about the level of Manfredo - about as deserving as Manfredo. Just manny times more annoying.

I wouldn't take too much notice of his age. He's a fresh 29 year old. Remember he only turned pro in 2002.

He minds me a lot of Ryan Rhodes and Shea Neary.

not very is the answer
wots he waiting for hes already in the late 20's ?

[jbirdy]

his attitude stincks and he is a fighter who you could easily dislike. not a bad fighter though but with his low lead hand he gets hit sometimes when he shouldnt. if he comes up against a hard hitting fighter like lacy he could get put on his arse.

Whether you like him or not he's in entertaining fights.

Barring Calzaghe and Kessler - Froch wouldn't be out of place against anyone in the division.

Carl Froch is one of the best men at 168 you wait and see. I say this time and time again he will be up there fighting for a title soon and i think he can be the champion without a doubt. Carl has shown every fight what he is capable of and he improves all the time, i dont think a lot of people take that on board. In his next 2-3 fights he really needs to show that he is the man to beat 168 and i really think that will be the case. He is stopping all of his oppanents and look what happened to Magee. I seriously think Carl will beat everyone at 168, and the longer JC dont fight the more i favour carl.

IMO

why do you say that? being honest in 2 years time JC aint geting any better and i personally can only see Carl gettin better. JC will be 36 and way past it. If you read what i said....i said the longer he leaves it the more chance carl has of winning. I DIDNT SAY HE WOULD LOSE! i would just favour carl better. It will be a lot harder for JC to take on carl in 2 years, than he did now.

and why dont i have any knowledge?

You clown. Tam's age should have no bearing on his opinion. Your Basically saying he's too young to know anything about Calzaghe. That's like Saying CutMeMick is young to talk about Sugar Ray Leanord or Smashup is to young to talk about Ali or Bilbo is too young to talk about Marciano.

From his previous posts i can make my own assesment of his knowledge and it is far greater than yours.

Getting back to the topic

I think Froch does have it in him to be a world champion. He has a lot of power and he's awkward with a very good chin. I don't know if he is good enough to beat Calzaghe but i would give him a decent shout against anybody else.......including Kessler.

[Tam Seddon]

cheers for back up bro

[Gandalf]

Froch has a lot to do if he is to amount to anything on the world level. I dont rate him too highly, and dont think he will amount to that much...
