Carl Froch - "I'm the future"

[Bomp]

Even if Carl beats Pascal he'll struggle to get the big fights that would really test his ability.

I feel he will retire with us never knowing how good he was

I think this is what he wants. what's that old saying? It's better to remain untested and be thought a shit fighter, than to have a go and remove all doubt.

Froch in round 2 or 3 telling Jim Watt to "Watch this Jim" he put Magee on the deck seconds later...

Hmm.. dunno about all this Froch lark.. he was lucky in the Magee fight that Magee can't break eggs. I think he NEEDED that KO.. could have easily lost on the cards.

Im not a big fan of Froch. Something tells me though that he beats Pavlik, he'll match Pavlik physically, be able to take what he's got and give it back. Would be a great fight I reckon.

[Bomp]

Froch's on bunce on setanta at 2pm today. It's a decent show that.

[Fenster]

Hopefully with the WBC belt (if he wins) he'll be able to land a big Pavlik-type name...

Even though i'm not a big Froch fan, I would love it (doing me best Kevin Keegan impression) if he beat Pavlik.

What happened to Hennesey/Goldenboy? I thought that was going to pave the way for big fights for Froch, maybe it will with a title to his name assuming they are still in bed together.

Yeah Hennesey was all harping on about him and Goldenboy.. all he's done is nearly get John Murray beat in a Mexico vs Britain promotion.. don't think anything else has come of it

well i think carl is big risk little reward for a lot of fighters thats why i think Inkin ducked him twice. But if he gets the belt and makes a strong defence fighters like Inkin,kessler and Bute will be wanting to get a piece of Carl im sure. He cant be ducked for his whole career.

lol.

Quality. Just hope he is good enough because where he has been at and where he needs to be with the likes of Kessler or Bute are worlds apart. Sort of the difference between Michael Gomez and Bredis Presscot if you know what i mean.

Pascal is a good B level test. He has needed this kind of test for a long time.

At this point, Pascal is a C-level fighter at best. He's an undefeated prospect who has fought nobody of note.

Froch's defense is way too crappy to deal with a guy like Pavlik. If they fought ten times maybe Froch could get to him a couple times but Pavlik is just a better fighter.

I just don't get it with Froch, he can punch but the defense is just horrible, I haven't seen anything to change my mind about that ever. What a bloodbath that would have been if he had fought Calzaghe, he wouldn't have been able to miss.

well nobody has made a dent on him yet so how is his defence so poor ? hes never been down or hurt in anyway, so hes not done too bad so far. Its his style which makes him difficult to hit, he really uses his range to full effect and its worked so far.

[OumaFan]

I'm not sure exactly what you mean by a dent but I've seen him look not very hard to hit at all against guys that were not even near elite. And that's kind of the point with all of this about him, with all the talk about his chin, his power, etc, its never really been tested has it?

Not saying that's his fault, I haven't kept up enough, I couldn't go into whether he ducked Calzaghe, or Inkin ducked him.

I have never thought he was very good, and I haven't seen anything to change my mind about that so I will keep thinking that, but your loyalty is admirable and I no longer think you are Carl Froch

He most likely beats Paschal. There was a time when I thought Paschal looked like an interesting prospect Not anymore.

Umm, that's not saying much, considering Froch has been in with nothing but a bunch of bums. Froch hasn't even fought anybody as good as Zuniga. Reid was totally shot when Froch faced him.
