    Frock as in "what a fucking cock"

    It is though also properly pronounced as nob head


    and here is another reason why

    How did that p4p British list clamor not make it's own thread on this forum of all places ? Considering 30 years span I'll do him one better, no way in hades I'd rank David Haye over Nigel Benn ffs. Froch talks a lot but he was also very exciting in their with a helluva beard.

    This forum has always been more American-centric than British. Speaking of Froch, 90% of the forum had zero interest until he rocked up in America to get mullered by Taylor. Like every British fighter those days he was a "bum," "protected," "padded Euro record." And he has a point regarding that list, he beat/fought much stronger competition than most of that list.

    Agreed. I like to mock Froch for his delusional Calzaghe views, but he was solid, beat champions and indeed never got knocked out by a relative unknown. Joshua has to prove a bit more really. Froch fell short at times, but has a lot of good wins.

    For a few years early on I thought it was straight out of Manila . Fighters have to start somewhere and strive for bigger recognition. I slagged on Calazaghe a hundreds time more than Froch though calling a fighter a bum before he gets a chance on a huge stage is always ignit. As we've seen the Global 'face' of the sport has massively expanded.

    I always felt this forum was British centric, to be honest with you. But you are right, no one cared about Froch until he beat Taylor.


    But his fight with Jean Pascal is a CLASSIC shoot out.

    I never was a Froch or Frotch or Frock fan Primo, not because he beat the Quebeckers but because of his big fucking mouth and his dirty style, but I give him credit for fighting everyone. Refusing to fight against Ward, GGG or DeGale before the retirement doesn't count as a duck for me even if he tried to make some easy money against Chavez Jr.
    Ducking at 37 years old, like I said, before the retirement and ducking in your prime are two different things.

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

    I respect your opinion , but if you’re a pro and if you’re a World Champion, I don’t think you get a pass, regardless of age. Especially if you want to make the same massive money .
    A duck is a duck.
    Former Undisputed 4 belt Prediction champion. Still P4P and People’s Champion.

    Not if he never fought anyone ever again.

    I respect your opinion too and I agree with many things you said in other threads, different topics, but I think we have to agree to disagree this time.
    Like I said in another post there are very few fighters in the history of this sport who were fighting the best possible opposition until the retirement; the best of this era, Manny and Floyd at 37 years old fought Algieri respectively Maidana ( and he did it twice, imagine that ) and they were still actives. Froch didn't fight anybody after refusing Ward, GGG and DeGale, he retired, we can not consider him active at the time only because he attempted to make a fight with Jr.
    No activity, no duck.
