Carl Froch (The Froak)

[ross]

Egfuckinzactly!!!!!

Even if I were wrong and Froch has just been a bit shy about taking on the big boys and he does have some talent, by the time hes got round to putting his big boys pants on itll be to late and these "awesome reflexes" ive failed to notice will be on the decline

Never mind, at least he cant get any worse looking, what a beak on im eh

Ross, the way you go on about Froch i'd have thought you'd came home and found him hanging out the back of ya momma.

[ross]

She can do better

He is tiresome, hes always talkin about smokin boots

Start by fighting some live bodys, anyone can push over a dead one

He has done absolutely nothing of note, how does he get a following, what are his "fans" basing their support on ?

Which world rated fighter has he beaten to make people take notice?

Will he be 32 before he even gets a title shot?

Its fucking ridiculous, the bloke should be ashamed of himself, in a sport like boxing where people have lost their lives, fighting their heart out, hes picking soft options and only fighting once or twice a year, then he shames himself more by provclaiming that the same people who have offered him fights, have avoided him

[Scott22]

froch is talented. but his opinion of himself might be to high

[njackets]

Whats the average age SMWs turn pro? It seems to me he turned Pro a bit late,but then decided to go the same route fight wise as if he would of turned pro earlier.Now all of a sudden he wants bigger fights,but nobodys intrested cos he's high risk with no name to back it up! Even people in UK aint heard of him apart from your Hardcore/casual Boxing fans!

[ross]

Well, hes in to his 7th year as a pro and has only 23 fights to his name, not one was a world class fighter.

Thats an average of about 3 fights a year, im not sure he even wants to be a boxer.

That is a joke, if I were his manager, id have him fighting every month, even shit opponents just to keep him busy.

Hes acting as if he is a champ and can sit back and pick and choose, his inactivity has caused him his biggest problem, know one knows who he is!

If he were fighting every month then people might recognise him and that might give him a better chance at getting decent fights, if he really wants them, hes already turned down a Calzaghe match!!

As it is, fighting just a coupla times a year is getting him nowhere.

Chris Eubank,Robin Reid and Joe Calzaghe were all 24 when they wan their titles and Ben was 26, Carl is 31 and going nowhere and everyone is laughing at him

BBC SPORT | Boxing | Calzaghe offer not clear - Froch


Thats for the peanuts who think Calzaghe has been ducking no-name Froak when infact it is the other way round.

[Plopeater]

Froch has to use Calzaghe to get his name in the mix. Whilst a good boxer he is 31 and needs to fight a credible opponent, whether is bad luck, people are ducking him or plain bullshit.

Hennessey needs to pull out all the stops to get Froch a big fight for a title so we can see whether or not he can cut the mustard

Looks like he is fighting Pascal for the vacant WBC belt.

Hennessy did a radio interview the weekend and when asked about his and Carls plans he said this:

"It looks like Pascal in Canada in the fall he doesnt have the guts to come here. After we win the belt (WBC) and what i claim the best and liniar title we will defend it a couple of times in Nottingham. Carl has great fans and they deserve to see there champion in the flesh. After a couple of defences we will be looking at fighting in America this time next year against Joe Calzaghe or Kelly Pavlik"

I hope for Frochs sake this comes off and he can bring the belt home. A couple of defences in Nottingham means people ranked 11-15 and not really worthwhile opponents for a belt.

Calzaghe will never fight Froch IMO and Pavlik, if he beats Hopkins will go for Calzaghe or Abrahams.

Th most realistic fight to make would be Kessler

[ono]

If you havent already noticed hes been ducked a lot this year and he is stepping up to the plate. Inkin pulled out twice and hes top 10 IMO. Jean Pascal is the start of something new for Froch and you will be able to see his true potential in this fight. Its a matter of time before Carl has to fight a top 10 fighter, and its going to happen soon. Just you wait and see !

Pascal will get injured in training. That is his routine

Froch really needs to go to the States for a fight, he is no spring chicken and needs to make a move NOW. SW fighters may be more willing to fight him as long as he comes over to this side of the Atlantic.

He already went over and beat future hall of famer - Henry Porras.



Seriously i like Carl, he's one of my favourites. Problem is, no fooker wants to fight him. He's high risk, little reward to the moment. Similar problem to Junior Witter, except Froch is actually quite good.

He has the power to KO anybody at 168.

I agree with you here, he ain't big enough to bring in the big money and he is a big puncher, but how good is he, until he fights someone decent then we'll never know.

All he needs is the 1 fight to get him to the big leagues and hopefully someone will give it him

Well because he doesn't have a conventional style, he will always have his critics.

But he fought a russian i think last year who was supposed to be a big test, and he destroyed him inside 2 rounds.

I guess time will tell, but i'm quite hopeful that he'll get a shot at least.

Sergey Tatevosyan was the Russian he beat and had never been stopped but his record isn't that good. He had been the distance with Bute, Eastman but had lost 7. Saying that Froch did well stopping him that early.



His last 2 fights haven't helped, unbeaten Rybacki was a jike and Robin reid didn't look too inerested after the 1st

[Markusdarkus]

Hes been a pro for 7yrs only had 23 fights in his last bout beat another bum who had days notice and he is talking Joe Calzaghe?

Its been 3mnths since he beat Ryback in a couple of rounds why aint he fought again? where is his test? surely he could fight Bika in the mean time.

as poor as Froch is he should own Pascal who is really a tomato can.
