    As much as I don't see Froch as the best SM ever......

    Show me 8 or 9 rounds that Froch 'Clearly' lost against Dirrell.

    That is A grade bull **** you are spouting.

    Groves had froch on ***** Street in the first fight.... Says a lot about froch

    Admittedly the second fight was ****

    But calzaghe would slap froch silly to a UD and Collins would tear him a new *******

    gotta go with either eubank or calzaghe, but froch gives both a good fight. in fact the froch of bute and groves 2 troubles any smw.

    Carl Froch isn't the best British super middleweight ever. Definitely top 5 though.

    Listen, don't be an idiot and belittle the record of a non-ducker like Froch and bring up tripe like this.

    Ha, do you think Froch should stay around for the 3rd and 4th generation super middleweights too? Should he wait for Callum Smith or Frank Buglioni? then go on and on. He's already beat the clearly leading next generation in Groves who beat Degale. What kind of stupid opinions are these?

    Calzaghe in my opinion was a far greater fighter and undeniably has a greater resume.
    Eubank in my opinion was a far greater fighter and in my opinion has a greater resume.

    Still Froch has done well and deserves credit

    Bottom line is Froch has tried the hardest to achieve greatness. No ducking, travelling anywhere, fighting back to back best opposition, entering the Super 6. He did everything the right way, having started late, winning the British out-right and becoming WBC mandatory, he only became champion at about 30 and really pushed the barriers, which Calzaghe and Eubank never did.

    I agree with the posts above. Dirrell beat him. That was a bad decision.

    Stand by everything Iv said.

    Degale pretty much at exactly same point in career as when froch was jc mandatory the only difference is the degale fight is much bigger than froch v jc was at the time.

    Froch rather than accept how lucky he is with his record of beating older more exposed fighters is very ungracious and people are tired of his warrior rubbish when he clearly in chavez jr is not willing to fight the best available in either degale or golovkin.

    Calzage would have boxed his ears of anyone with remote boxing skills has been a nightmare for froch.

    your sarcastic response of waiting for buglioni er no just fight your mandatory a young british fighter like you claim jc should have done in his prime.Double standards of the very highest order and as degale says a coward in my book.
