He's beyond belief. In the original press conference for the tournament, he described himself as the best fighter of the modern era & how this tournament would be definitive proof of that.
Apparently years ago he said that he was better sportsman than David Beckham because Beckham could only cross a ball, whilst he was a complete fighter. I think this was just after he beat Magee.
I thought the best though was I saw an interview & he described how he wanted to keep hold of his good looks. I thought he'd told a great joke until he followed it up by saying how because of this fighters like him, PBF & ODLH were good for the sport
Absolutely mental, unless he thinks a couple of birds screaming his name in the Trent FM Arena makes him Nottingham's answer to Brad Pitt![]()

It still isn't sold out either.

I'm hoping he wins, it's not like we've got tons of world level boxers and can pick and choose which ones to support. I wanted him to beat Taylor too but after a few rounds he was so outclassed I wanted him to get flattened. I have a funny feeling I'll be thinking the same way a few rounds into Saturday's fight but I have a feeling Froch will scrape a win somehow.

With the hook on that thing, it would end up more like that film Hostel
I'm not Froch's biggest fan, but I've been unconvinced by whether Dirrell is really ready to step up to this level. However, I was boxrecking (yes I just verbed that) his opposition & looked at Froch's & noticed that he's never fought a fighter over 6ft above the most basic domestic level. In fact only Brian Magee & Tony Dodson have even been 6ft of his respectable opponents. I bring this up because having seen that vid you posted, Dirrell appears to have a decent height advantage. I think finding a sparring partners like Dirrell would be nigh on impossible because you see very few fighters that tall with anything even approaching Dirrell's speed.
Makes me feel this is much more even than some think.
Whenever I see Froch I for some reason think of Shock G, and not for his lyrics

Did you also notice that as yet he hasnt faced a top 10 ranked super middle, or even defeated a reigning champ, let alone fought one?
Carl has an awfull style, he seems to think he has great reactions and power, like a version of Hamed.
Hes slow to react and often his punches miss by a mile because hes too stiff trying to load up.
I dont think Dirrell takes a good shot but like Taylor he will make Froch look daft early, as Dirrell is really untested I dont know if he will tire late and get caught but as long as he doesnt then I see him outpopinting Froch fairly comfortably and seeing as Dirrell could be the biggest natural supermiddle puncher Froch has faced, he could well stop him, if a middle can drop him.....![]()

Well, you should have seen how angry he looked when he heard Dirrell wants to rearange those pretty boy good looks
