Williams pulls out of Froch fight.....Unbeaten pole steps in...

[GAME]

Froch is jynxed . I duno if he will ever have any big fights.

Why doesnt he just go to the States and get himself a Yank promoter. Surely he has gotta be concerned that at this age he has still never met a good fighter .

[Kirkland Laing]

He could have fought Calzaghe a year ago but bottled the opportunity. He's got a world-class mouth only.

Ha i'd have liked to have seen him in with Calzaghe a year ago instead of that joke of a bout between Joe and Manfredo!

He could have fought Calzaghe a year ago but bottled the opportunity. He's got a world-class mouth only.

When was that?

I dont ever remember a fight between JC and CF ever been mentioned.

Nor me, Froch has only ever said he wants Calzaghe and believes he's the man to beat him, but never heard of a possible fight comming off or talks held between both parties.

Think me and kirk discussed this the other week.

I for one cant see either JC taking a huge pay cut to fight regional opposition nor can i see froch turning down the biggest pay day of his life and the chance to make himself a well known name in the sport win or lose!!

"I would have loved to fight Calzaghe in July and could have been ready. I could have gone back into training next week, but I don't think Calzaghe and his team wanted to risk sampling the power of my right uppercut!
"His promoter made an offer to me that I felt was derisory. They also turned down a very generous offer of �1.6 million from my promoter Mick Hennessy, which valued the fight at twice their amount if you work on the standard terms of the split for a purse bid.

So Froch got offered a fantastic purse and a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to fight Calzaghe and bottled it. I already posted this when we were discussing it before.

Rybacki's alias - according to BoxRec - is Quiet Man

Does this mean he - of all people - has chosen John Ruiz as his idol? Probably not, seeing as Rybacki's is actually older than Ruiz...

Oh, well at least he has won all his (three) fights during the last 6 years. And in one of them he even stopped his opponent (30 seconds before time)!

If Froch is as good as he says he is he should have taken that fight because win or lose it would have got him onto the big stage and if he looked good he could have had a lot more pay days as a result.


For example when Zab Judh fought Spinks he was fight for next to nothing because he knew if he won it would get him back to the top.Big mistake by Froch.

Froch is jynxed . I duno if he will ever have any big fights.

Why doesnt he just go to the States and get himself a Yank promoter. Surely he has gotta be concerned that at this age he has still never met a good fighter .

he still should have 4-5 years in him, have to echo what most have already said about frochy..

definite ability to become a world champion but other than that unless he learns to fight and be able to take the odd backward step i dont see him dominating any division or pulling up major trees.

Im sure though froch has it in him to go toe to toe with the very best in the world!!

I'd probably agree with that but Im losing faith in him cuz of his inability to secure a big fight . Maybe its just frustration speaking but if Mick has got him this far at 30 then clearly he isnt doing his job . Get someone else!

I dont think he'd beat Kessler who IMO is the future of this division . Other than that Id give Froch a chance with anyone cuz when I have seen him he looks good. Problem is he has a shit defence and he hasnt beaten anyone decent yet !

[Bomp]

Well he'll get a title shot next if he wins, it'll probably be vacant but if he manages to win the WBC strap he'll have a decent baragaining chip by the end of the year, which isn't too bad since he's fought ABSOLUTELY NOONE!!

[DatsiK]

Wow, he is doomed to fight a decent opponent.

[Fenster]

Unbelievable!

Didn't think it was possible this bill could get any worse "luck"


Froch is slow-ish starter but even he wont be able to carry a 37 year old nobody coming in on a few days notice.. then again there was that Aussie sheep farmer Dale Westerman that gave him problems

[Tam Seddon]

This is an absoulte fucking joke. What the fuck is going on, I am so pissed off!

ahhhhhhhhhhhh, I need to calm down.

Carl Froch will knock him out within 2 rounds.
