Froch tells of rough childhood.. having his bicycle stolen etc!`

[BIG H]

Just picture what it must be like for him though though - A city that has Blacks, Etnic minorities, Drug Dealers and even Bike theives - fair play to the guy for getting out of the hood and growing up so well adjusted

Come on guys don't judge him, you don't what he had to go through living alongside black people and other minorites.

First they took his bike, then as an adult another black man beats him up and makes off with his world title, thank God the British authorities were on hand to rule that he had to give it back.

The rest of the interview he goes on to talk about the day he had a pimple.

[AdamGB]

To be fair he wasn't trying to glorify or romanticize anything... he just said he had a pretty typical working class UK upbringing - which is what he was asked to talk about...

Froch has got a lot of haters... fuck he even said at the end of the video "just little things like that, it's not like I grew up in Beirut or anything"

[smashup]

To the theme of The Beastie Boys....

"You gotta fight for your bike ..... says Froch'y"

Sounds well rough mate - Nottingham

[amat]

Hahaha stop trying to defend England's honor that's not what this thread is about. Listen to him, I believe you British call that 'thick'. Talking about being raised rough because there were mixed race and black people around

It's my belief that Froch just isn't that intelligent, a bit simple Come on it's not his first offense either, he openly confuses Andre Ward and Andre Dirrell constantly. I believe if you ask him the guy he fought won the gold medal and is called the Son of God. Seriously, it's not being a hater to laugh at this, it kind of makes me like him more

[rjj tszyu]

Poor old Froch... He answers a question about his childhood and tells the truth and people even slate him for that.

I hope he wins the super 6 now, I thought it was Kesslers without doubt before it started but now I think Froch just might take it.

This post should win some type of award!

And here we have a guy like Miranda who ate Garbage and Road kill because his mother left him for Prostitution....

At least he did not have a bike to be stolen...He may not have made it

Miranda's story is a rough one, absolutely heartbreaking. Kassim Ouma as well who has a very tough life being raised during a genocide and all.

I know Froch isn't even playing at having it rough though.

No I don't think so either...Besides for as much of a tit he is Froch is not the poor me type....

I don't think Froch's upbringing was that hard going on what he was saying, but having said that I am sure he had his share of rough moments like a lot of British kids do. I don't really see the big issue with what he was saying. Bikes do get stolen and kids do get into fights. You should fight for your bike, though I always made sure I had a lock. It makes life that bit easier. I admit that I did cringe a little when he was talking about blacks and mixed race people, but he was answering the question and that might well be his perception. I've never been to Nottingham, but I'm sure there are some ethnic minorities causing social problems. But you also know there are a lot more white people doing exactly the same things. So, yeah, that bit was a bit shakey, but on the whole I don't see the big deal. Froch always comes across to me as quite funny, but in a wholly unintentional way. He has the touch of Alan Partridge about him. He will say things and it will just crack me up.

Most boxers have tough up bringing this is mild in comparison to most of them.

I don't really think it is a big deal to anyone Miles, it's just some good material to have a laugh and make a few jokes.

Rumor is Calzaghe stoled it and pawned it to get some coke. He had to support his early habit.
