    Now been away for a few years but it's clear this site has turned into some sort of White Nationalist site. Think majority of posters have come from StormFront.

    Now let's take an indepth ****ysis of their hero Froch.

    Up until Pascal he fought nothing but bums. This is a fact that cannot be denied.
    He beat Pascal but not as easy as Jim Watt tried to make it out. Pascal was undefeated but he has since been exposed as the fraud that he is by getting beaten up by old age pensioner Hopkins.
    Next was Taylor. A fight where iron chin got knocked down and was getting beaten pillar to post. He was seconds away from losing & got a very very lucky break. Taylor was a shadow of his former self yet still made him look silly.
    Next was Direll. Here once again got out boxed and got a hometown decision. He LOST this fight.
    Next was Kessler. LOST this fight.
    Next AA. Mismatch, too small not a fair fight.
    Next Johnson. Got a MD against the pensioner. Need I say more?
    Next Ward. LOST. Got out boxed for 12 rounds, completely destroyed.
    Bute next. A complete over hyped bum.
    Next big fight was Groves I. He got out boxed and made to look silly. Knocked down and got lucky with a poor ref.

    Let's not forget his antics when the real MVP was around. The way he acted against Calzaghe was beyond embarrassing.

    He has just vacated a world title so he doesn't take a beating by Degale. A clear DUCK.

    This self proclaimed International superstar is a fraud. Stop putting him on a pedestal.

    He is the most arrogant person in boxing. So deluded
    Peace out.

    Not feeling the OP's take on white supremacy here, but the point about Froch having become hugely over-rated is solid. He was pretty shockingly outclassed and beaten up by Groves in their first fight, and it shouldn't be forgotten that Froch was an absolutely massive favourite going into that one. The rematch was about even too before Froch found the punch of his career.

    Credit Sky Sports and their cheer leading pundits for the perception of Froch as some all-time great. He's billed as some kind of Marvin Hagler in the chin stakes, although he's been hurt, staggered and dropped several times in his career without ever having faced a puncher in the mould of a Golovkin, McClellan or Benn. I believe that some are also put off by the fact that Carl and his entire entourage barring Rob McCracken appear to be less than pleasant personalities.

    Better how? Skills wise? Wrong

    Fondly remembered? Majority of Brits don't even know who he is. Khan is far more well known

    Done more? Great logic to compare a man 10 years older coming to the end of his career. How about comparing when Khan retires.

    Anyway this thread is about the fraud that is Froch.

    You cannot argue my points hence try to change the subject

    I don't want to argue your points because im not going to waste my time over something which is obvious.

    Froch>Khan

    Froch comes across as cringe worthy and arrogant wich he is, but you cant knock his record

    First of all, Pascal has fought at world level at two different weights since so that was a very good win, Taylor was a very good fighter and it was a close fight but the facts are a fight is 12 rounds not 11 and a half so your point is irrelevant. Dirrell another close fight where opinions are mixed, he won the fight and yet again a very good win.
    He lost to Kessler, no shame in that, you failed to mention that he avenged the defeat though. AA a mismatch? Really? He is still to this day a world champ and he beat him more handily than anyone else has managed to do, Poor performance against Johnson but never the less he won, Lost to Ward who is, other than Floyd and Pacquiao, the best of this generation. Bute, the most feared man in the division at the time, he ruined him, if he had outpointed him like Ward would have done then he would have still been a very good fighter now, but he ruined him and that was a superb win for Froch.

    Groves I, very poor performance, undertrained, but no excuses he got outclassed and he got a lucky stoppage but he was so impressive in turning that fight around, something that no other fighter could do. Groves II, not superb but he didn't do a lot wrong and when he got the chance he cleaned him up. As for Degale, Froch has never ducked anyone in his life so he isn't going to start with Degale! Haha

    Take your hatred elsewhere as you clearly have no clue about boxing what so ever! :hi:

    No doubt it's a good record but it's heavily over-rated.

    Any record can be pulled apart really, I think quite a few could sit there and destroy Khan's record but what would be the point?

    Like it or not Froch is enjoying a great career, been in some very good fights.

    I saw you mentioned Froch and Calzaghe and the way Froch acted well wouldn't you agree Khan is doing the same thing with Mayweather? Calling him out, saying things like he only fought Pacquiao to avoid Khan himself and in every interview can't wait to drop Mayweathers name into the conversation.

    I could accept that maybe you don't like Froch or you are not overly impressed with his record but you sound bitter and twisted to me just because last night Froch laid out the truth about Brook Vs Khan and who will b at fault if the fight does not happen.

    By beating who? Robin Reid?

    Khan had better wins than Froch - in the sense that you are talking about.
