carl froch, welcome to superstardom

[Kirkland Laing]

I don't want to say Froch was lucky, because I think he deserves credit for the heart he showed to pick himself up from his first career knock down and KO his most difficult opponent to date. However, he will not go much further if he continues to believe he can get away with having no defence. The only reason he got away with it this time is because he's got a good chin and Taylor tired late on, allowing him to get in the punishing blows which set him up for the eventual TKO with only 14 seconds left. Kessler would outscore him and possibly KO him [assuming he keeps up with the low hands and sticking his chin out], and Joe would completely outclass him - embarrass him, even. I don't know why he insists on calling him out after every fight, when if he looked at himself honestly he'd realise he has no chance whatsoever.

Because it's the biggest money fight for him out there and also it gives him credibility with casual fans. When he was offered the chance to fight Calzaghe he bottled it.
