Exactly, the guy is matched with the wrong promoter. It's a shame that the guy is not even a big star in his country. His resume blows away Haye and Khan when it comes to level of opposition. Froch is a guy that seems to willing to fight anyone out there.
Too right. He fights decent opposition fight in fight out and gives it his all every time. We can say he is just a bit too boring to be given any attention, but the truth is he interviews very well, and compared to that inbred Amir Khan, is as articulate as Oscar Wilde. He is extremely entertaining both inside and outside of the ring.

I don't think we can just blame the promoter with this, though it has played it's part. I really do think it is down to an ignorance on the part of people who 'follow' boxing and they are ignorant because the media has refused to take part. Froch has come up the hard way with no Olympic medals and so the media has simply not covered him in any great depth. They've missed the ball and never tried to play catch up, and like I say it is a travesty really. Froch should be much more well known.

You just have to look at the way the media covers music. Haye and Khan are the X factor muppets getting all the coverage because they were on the TV. Froch meanwhile is the edgy significant alternative artist that always produces interesting stuff, but the media ignores it. Which records sell? There you go.
