    He's pretty good in front of the camera I think.

    Oddly or not he's a boxer too who says he doesn't really follow the larger game outside of his own fights, maybe that will change.

    He comes across very well in front of the camera/media and very much a future boxing pundit I'd say.

    Sky really plugging him now. I like his style and some of the demonstrations he has done have been very good and insightful.

    Agreed, he is a very bright fella, he needs to stop tapping his feet when sat on a panel though. Nobody can question him on his career so he also has bags of credibility on top of knowledge and a vocabulary. He should finish Ringside with a little song each week.

    good things come o those who wait.

    he's been patient, worked his ass off, dedicated himself like few others can.

    he deserves all the success in the world, Carl Froch is The Truth
     
  5. He must be over the moon he is back in with Sky now, profile has went fair bit upwards since then.

    Can only get bigger the next few months anarl

    Damn site better then Lennox who baffles me and i'm sure baffles himself.

    Froch's changing room segment was good you can he's nervous fighter from way he spoke about what he does before a fight.

    I was never that convinced by his comments that he doesn't really follow the game, he's always sounded knowledgeable so think it was just trying to sound a bit cool and diffident.

    That said, when he does say something Carl he says it with intensity so you can't help but listen and as said above you can't knock his achievements

    He really has been massively plugged recently. Which is great news for his career and he seems quite knowledgeable definitely possible future pundit.

    I actually quite like listening to Hatton, he handled himself well on Ringside I thought alongside heavyweight pundits Watt & 'let me finish what Im saying' McGuigan.

    afgoon don't like anything northern.

    anything northern acording to afgoon is thick and hates brown people,really hates brown people,i think he has had a bad experiance up north,like a good bumming off a northern nazi:tdh
    im surprised he likes froch,he is northern after all,i mean,anything above the south,is north.
    oh,and afgoon is a dick as well:thumbsup

    I enjoyed that. He came across like a guy who'd box for free if he had to just for the love of the game.

    I ws just thinking this the other day about Froch. He has a decent pace delivery and speaks coherantly which is a rare attribute in fighters to be fair. I too thought this guy is good on camera and deserves a spot as a pundit for sure. His knowledge also seems pretty decent too so not sure about this 'not following the sport a la Chisora'
