Carl Froch Is Not That Good.

[Kev]

There is no question that Froch’s fights provide entertainment but when he has stepped up to world class level he has sucked and now he wants Calzaghe. If Froch was destroying guys then he could legitimately talk about Calzaghe. If he wants Calzaghe to take him seriously then fight Kessler and DESTROY HIM or fight Pavlik and DESTROY HIM or fight Winky Wright and DESTROY HIM or fight Hopkins and DESTROY HIM. He needs to do something to a top fighter that no-one has done before.

He seems to think scrambling home against a former ex-champ (J.Taylor) when he was behind on points after being outboxed for 11 round is good enough form to beat Calzaghe. I think team Froch have to be VERY careful if they want to hold to his title. I would fancy Cory Spinks to beat him, that’s not a diss on Spinks, my point is it would not take an outstanding fighter to beat him, it would not even take a very good one, just decent world level performer would beat him in my opinion

Carl Froch – YOUR NOT THAT GOOD !!

Why do you demand that he DESTROY the likes of Kessler, Hopkins, Pavlik and Winky when NOBODY has ever destroyed ANY those fighters INCLUDING JOE CALZAGHE


And if you consider Williams win over Winky and B Hops win over Pavlik DESTRUCTIONS then please go back and watch the 12th round of Froch vs Taylor because he REALLY DESTROYED him

Taylor was beaten by a few good punches and his own lack of stamina and heart. Hopkins destroyed Pavlik 100x worse and Williams beat Wright 10x worse. Froch is more Micky Ward than Joe Calzaghe and I mean that as a compliment.

How did Hopkins destroy Pavlik much worse than Froch destroyed Taylor?

Froch KNOCKED Taylor out! That is more emphatic than any points victory. The judges are only need in the event that the fight isn't decided within the time limit, therefore Froch's win is better by definition.

The ultimate goal of boxing is to knock out your opponent, the scoring is only for humane reasons to prevent boxers fighting to the death.

Have a look at Pavlik at the end of the Hopkins fight and look at Taylor at the end of the Froch fight and ask yourself again who got destroyed

Not at all. If you think Froch victory over Taylor was more emphatic than Hopkins over Pavlik then you don't know boxing, my friend. If they fought again Taylor would still most likely be made favourite to beat Froch. Taylor just ran out of gas, Froch didn't outbox Taylor, out speed him, show brilliant combos or make Taylor looks foolish and amateurish...but that's what Hopkins did to Pavlik.

All Froch brings to the table is a good chin, determination and a lot of heart, not only would Cory Spinks beat him, but I think if Mayorga bulked up he would beat him, I think if Tito Trindad came back he would beat him. I thought it was a terrible performance and he got lucky.
