    He has had 8 high level fights in a row and even won 6 of them. He has fought about half of them on foreign soil!! (this is huge).

    All in all, he is someone I would like to see in the HOF.

    give a **** about Andre Ward

    or Andre Dirrel

    they are both boring ****s


    Froch will destroy Ward in the rematch


    Deal with it


    Plus there is a good chance American boxers are all on peds



    Lennox Lewis was tested by British testing agencies...

    every American HW he fought was tested by American companies

    this rise the serious question of weather or not

    Lewis fought his entire career against cracked up ped filled American Heavyweights.

    This probably rise Lewis's legacy even more

    maybe top 3 top 2?


    Iron Heart British Warriors

    Froch-Benn-Eubank-Lewis- Calzaghe

    what a unstoppable Super Seven

    Take away Ward who is moving to LHW, and Froch is the best SMW in the world. Ward is on another level and will be p4p 1 soon. Froch beat Kessler and will beat him in he rematch, as for Dirrell he showed his true colours, he deserved to lose for running all night. Froch without Ward is unbeaten in my eyes, awesome fighter. Anyone who says different is a hater or American. You never give us a fair crack of the whip.

    I thought Kessler did enough to beat Froch.

    Dirrell was close but not close enough imo.

    Carl Froch is a credit to boxing, can't understand people hating on him.

    Dirrell ran and held, didn't box properly and got beat fair.

    This isn't the Olympics, its not the 100m sprint, you need to box lad.

    Froch has 1 loss.

    The win over Dirrell was justified, because Dirrell took a knee like ten times, and -Lo and behold- it was always when Froch was about to nail him with a haymaker and it was too late to dodge the punch, so he just pretended to slip. I'm glad Abraham put him to sleep when he tried to do that again.

    Against Kessler, that fight was a draw on my scorecard and many agree with me. In Denmark of course KEssler was given the win.

    Froch lost only to Ward, in America. In England, Froch would probably knock him out like he did to Bute. But Ward will duck him and move up to LHW.

    Ward has not long started his career and to be honest the hof acceptance doesn't necessarily work as logically as you seem to think.

    He puts it on the line unlike the majority of todays champions. He takes risks, provides excitement and is willing to fight anywhere. If he beats kessler and retires I believe he has a strong case to be inducted.

    Hopefully people will realise that his career was one of a kind, especially in the days when fighters seem to concentrate more on risk assessment. Don't get me wrong fighters like ward are technically better than froch but we all know that his career will continue to be carefully manufactured into one that is as risk free as possible. Just like he received the best deal out of all the S6 fighters, not having to travel etc.

    Great fight by Froch against Bute, but that still doesn't change the past - Froch lost to Kessler.

    You say many agree with you - well the poll after the fight had a clear majority saying Kessler won. It was a close fight, but Kessler won it fair and square - no harm in losing to Kessler though. And a great fight - it's a rematch waiting to happen - and a fight that will make each boxer more than Ward has made his whole career ;)

    the only guy to ever beat froch convincingly is andre ward. and he did that by fighting negatively. wards nullifying tactics and inside game was always going to cause froch problems. no ones saying froch is the most skilled and technically gifted fighter in the world. he fought someone who is and came up short. no shame in that.

    the dirrell fight is the same. dirrell is an extremely fast fighter who runs like ****... what can froch do with a guy like that?

    froch has mixed it with the best and either competed at there level or dominated in spectacular fashion. amazing considering how many people wrote him off as slow, plodding and unskilled.

    his performances against bute and abraham were about as one sided as you can get. especially in a world title fight. his win over taylor shows how determined he is and what a huge heart he's got.

    also the kessler fight was a real war. it was toe to toe and that was in kesslers back yard. you saw how froch fights when he's at home. im pretty sure he would edge kessler in a rematch in nottingham...

    add to all that an amazing win against pascal who is a beast and a good performance against an experienced tough guy like johnson. froch is an absolute legend of the sport. no questions asked!!

    Carl Froch is a ****ing HERO to boxing fans because he actually fights anyone anywhere, and that makes him great.
