The climate isn't really much different from britain so that shouldn't be much of a factor, although i'd have already been there myself. I'd have made plans as soon as the cloud of ash appeared and shut down airports.

    Is a ferry really a fitting way for a world champion to travel though?

    It's like if all the roads were gridlocked forcing a world champ to ride through the fields on the back of a tractor, hardly the most glamourous of arrivals.
    Maybe not, but Froch likes to think of himself as a man who'll fight anybody, anywhere and under any circumstance, so a bit of a ferry ride and then drive should not hurt him too much!

    Being a Froch "hater" I cant help but smirk at all the negatives here, it will be piissing the team off that hes having less prep time in Denmark. He may get quite tired from an 18 hour boat trip then another few hours in a taxi, he may even be someone that gets sea sick

    He will also now be at the throat of that thick twaat Hennesey for not sorting out an alternative route by now and having it all out on forums and becoming a joke

    I watched the new 360 programme on the tournament and in a meeting with all the other promoters it sounds to me that Hennesey is trying to sound even more cockney, like a cuunt, like something out of lock stock

    jeez what the hell is wrong with this forum and the endless hating on froch

    Even i`ll admit he comes across as a complete twat outside of the ring. But what exactly has he done inside it other than beat everybody his ever fought including taking out pascal, taylor and dirrell in the space of a year to warrant such distaste??

    Froch is a class fighter, he`s favourite to win the super6 for a very good reason. Once he does eventually have the opportunity to hand both ward and dirrell(again) their arses on a plate i anticipate a lot of sour, bitter people on this site

    "froch wont beat pascal" HE DID
    "pascal isnt that good of a fighter anyway" HE IS
    "doesnt stand a chance against taylor in his own backyard" HE DID
    "taylor was a shot fighter anyway" HE WASNT
    "wont have enough to beat dirrell" HE DID
    "dirrells a manufactured champ anyway" HE ISNT

    getting really bored of having to defend carl froch on this forum considering the fact i think the guys a standout prick outside of the ring

    Well, until he changes his attitude and stops telling us how hard he hits, how quick he is and how good his chin is and all the other lies and bullshiit like how Calzaghe avoided him, im not going to like him and neither will anyone else.

    Maybe if he had kept his gob shut we would accept him as a messy fighter whos done ok in his last few fights but after listening to all his self promoting crap then to watch him struggle against 2 completely untested fighters and get dropped by an ex middle weight and win that one by the skin of his teeth, its just annoying.

    Im not sure that Kessler is the fighter he was, I think hes had that arrogance and hunger robbed from him by Calzaghe but im enjoying the fact that mother nature is even trying to make it difficult for Carl now

    I havent seen or heard any reports on Kesslers training or sparring, I did read that Kessler said he left his sparring too late in the Ward camp, didnt have enough?? Who knows? He should have still delt with Ward!

    I don't get it neither. A year or so ago i could maybe understand the hate. He was seen as cocky and arrogant without ever really backing it up. Since then, he's spoken better, been more down to earth and has defeated Pascal, Dirrell and Taylor in his own back yard. The Pascal and the Taylor fights were very entertaining aswell.

    Now he's going to Denmark to fight Kessler. On a side note, if he beats Kessler, does he become p4p worthy?

    How would beating someone coming off a loss make you p4p worthy?

    Acording to this, Froch refuses to drive or sail and Denmark is nowhere near opening there aair space again.

    I reckon Froch will pull out because hes not comfortable with the rush job hes been left with to get over there and he wont have any fans there either.

    There is a video I found after someone mentioned hatton tv where hennesey and Froch are going on about how great the town of Herning is and it has a couple of bars, really trying to entice people over

    Hes desperate to have support there!

    If Froch afraid of driving or something? Certainly if he left today he'd be there tomorrow with tons wed-fri to get his last minute training in. There is no reason for him to postpone.

    said all along if carl froch was american he wouldnt get half the crap said about him that he does on this forum

    Just look at the list of cocky american fighters who dont have a bad word said about them. Calzaghe, hatton, khan hating are virtually public domain on this forum

    Personally, I like Khan and Froch too though I think the latter will face his waterloo against Kessler and if not, possibly Ward or Bute but as for the man himself, I have bloody nothing against.
