    There's not one currently active boxer in the entire world you can honestly say has not ducked someone at some point in their careers, that is what seperates Froch from all of them (and he's managed to win a few as well). It astounds me that anyone can disrespect his achievements. He's never cherry-picked anyone, never deliberately fought someone way past their prime or coming off a loss, and he doesn't know the meaning of 'styles make fights'-type risk assessment. His attitude is ATG for sure.

    just watched the first round now. i didn't see any elbow landing :huh. and the punches that froch lands in the clinch are round the side of the head, not the back. in order for it to be a rabbit punch, it needs to land on the back of the head, not the side.

    he did throw a cheeky punch after the ref split them up, yeah. but he just got caught up in the moment. it's not something he always does. this is the first time i've seen him do it. so no harm done.

    there are fighters in the hall that haven't done as much as carl has. that's a fact.

    i think he deserves to be in. i respect your opinion though.

    :lol: you don't have to keep beating HOF fighters all the time to get in. just beat a load of solid fighters (like froch has). he has a handful of great victory's on his record. that's a nice resume he has there. anyone who disagree's is stupid.

    you must be the only person that scored froch vs johnson by two points to froch. it was wider than that. tough fight, but he clearly won it.

    Hermit is the biggest joker on the forum.He finds life difficult since his alcoholic hero was embarrassed by BHop and Martinez.
    His Hero's two biggest wins were against Taylor and Miranda.
    Froch also KTFO Taylor,and then KTFO Bute who KTFO Miranda.
    (I know i know,triangulation theories and common opponents)

    Really, huh that's odd because all of Showtimes press-row scoring had Froch winning along with Al Bernstein who called the fight, plus at least a 50/50 win split.
