    that is a poor excuse.

    he could have left earlier and taken the boat over to Denmark.

    Andy Lee told Steward years ago that "Froch isn't that talented but he doesn't know it". This is true. He is very confident and happens to have a great set of intangiables that have been apparent as he steps up.

    If everyone was like Froch then boxing would be a great sport. He talks it up, gets in shape and comes to fight against the very best.

    Froch has always been underrated because no one thought he could achieve what he has. I think now he is rated about right. Someone who will always be successful but will have lost to the best guys he fought.

    He doesn't have Wards talent or tools but I sure as **** hope his intangiables shine. Take anything Ward has and bomb him out.

    I certainly wouldn't have him behind Haye, record is much better and no he's not as skilled but the difference is he USES his skills whereas Haye doesn't

    Who else could he fight that could be considered minblowing? he can only fight who's around and he's beat them all, apart from Kessler and that could have gone either way!

    He's probably surpassed or on a par with Calzagh's resume and he still got some left.

    with kessler now back they will probs have a rematch at some stage, so carl will get the chance to put his loss right.

    yeah he's a 2 weight world champion but Froch could have won a belt of Steigletz and one off Shumanov and he would be as well but he didn't go that route, know what i mean?
