    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.
    For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.

    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.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    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.

    I'd like to apologize on behalf of all ethnic minorities for inhibiting Mr Froch's upbringing. That has to be the most cringe-worthy comment from any boxer in recent memory. I actually appreciate that Froch is making every effort to make me dislike him that much more, I don't think anyone thinks that comment makes him a racist, but it certainly makes him a moron

    As for the idea that Nottingham isn't a rough city

    Is that why it's known as 'Shottingham'?

    Well of course you would be offended, you're a black minority type person in a non public school, bicycle stealing type way. It was your kind who took his bike, and then came over here and tried to make off with his belt.

    I'm sure you'd take his missus if you had half a chance too.
