    He should have fought DeGale or retired after Groves. But sitting around and ducking legit challenges while waiting on an obvious cherry pick in Chavez jr. all while trying to discredit the GGG fight since he is a "middleweight".

    Im sorry but this waiting for the "right opponent" opponent act is getting old. He needs to retire because mentally he doesnt have it.

    Froch is an atg SMW and has always been such a warrior but these last 10-12 months have felt very prima-dona and completely un-froch like.

    Running away from Dre Ward.

    Dre came back and he went back into hiding.

    :deal

    But it's no surprise, Dre washed him.

    I actually wanted to see him beat Degale and retire as the only of the great british SMW not to duck or lose to the next generation.

    Of course Froch fans don't want to see him vs Dre again, only Froch fans don't want to see it. :patsch

    Looking to make big money at the end of his career is now considered "cherry picking"?. No wonder you losers are cabbies or receptionists at best in your meaningless lives.

    He only wanted Chavez Jr

    Can't really blame him though

    Dont get offended bro Froch is my favorite fighter. But c'mon , this last year has been unfroch like. Froch is a superstar in the UK and about as big as a UK fighter can be here in the states. Anybody he fights will be "big money" and by his own admission money doesnt motivate him anymore.

    he was on the radio last night saying he still wants a swansong at the city ground or vegas, but if nothing comes through soon he'll retire. such a pity ward bottled it.

    MVC! You can be a good poster, stop with this bull****. Froch fans and froch himself have accepted ward beat him, why would we want to see it again, was hardly a classic was it? I want to see froch vs deagle.

    Well considering what Froch has done after his loss to Ward, I don't think it's too blasphemous for me to say that I want a #2.

    You don't? At all?

    I want the #1 and #2 to go at it again.

    Froch has been on the up and up and Ward has been on a steady decline from the lawsuits/sub par opponents/surgery and whatnot.

    I think it would be a decent s**** this time around if it happens.

    We're not even sure if DeGale gets by Dirrell. What happens if Andre beats Degale? Do you wanna see Dirrell vs Froch again?

    Accepts defeat, doesn't fancy a rematch, people claiming he's an ATG ? Is Kessler an ATG too ?
    What the hell is Groves, a "nearly-great" ? :lol:
    How many ATGs have there been in boxing history ? Thousands ?
    Surely, this is a lowering of standards.
    An ALL-TIME GREAT should mean a fighter who'd be great in an era, and stands out as great amongst his peers.
    Not someone who concedes second-place in his own era.

    Froch has been a good title-holder. He's not an all-time great.

    remember the good old days before he got banned and returned with an exclamation mark, he used to claim only froch fans wanted to see a rematch. what a turnaround.
