Carl Froch (The Froak)

[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!

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.

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
