Can someone explain why Froch deserves to cherry pick?

I'm getting a bit annoyed personally at all the 'he can choose who he wishes to fight, he's earnt it' posts.

If he's not going to fight someone decent, just retire.

imo he talked up about a legacy so much that now he's worried one bad loss will 'ruin' it, whilst he will always be remembered at some point now for the massive Wembley fight regardless if he win, lose or draws any other fights.

Just seen the latest news post on skysports boxing, sounds like he's trying to back track that he doesn't want a fight in Vegas now as the arena's are too small. Or that he can't get up for a Degale fight (same article). It's all just excuses, i'd have much more respect if he was just honest. Fight on against decent opposition or retire.

 

whats good for one british fighter is good for another

 

Completely agree, sometimes fans get so attached to fighters that they treat them like the fighter is actually fighting for them, they make excuses and give a lot of excuses, it's not just Froch fans it goes for fans of most fighters, the guy below your post is absolutely spot on too, he should just retire if he doesn't want a tough big fight, unfortunately he has enough loyal fans to give him the go ahead for a cherry picked fight that will be put on ppv and still sell

 

but does this apply to all british fighters :huh

 

Depends who you are talking about? There will always be keep busy fights or even fights that aren't huge but will build you into the huge fight you are chasing, Froch wants his as some sort of Swan song under the illusion that he's "earnt" one last big pay day whilst not having to do much

 

he as

he as single handedly kept british boxing intresting and reilivant for years coming from primetime to channel five to be a box office fighter , where as some started on box office then slipped way down channels and ppvs

 

I hate all this 'im glad froch is gettiing a payday' ****e, its ****ing stupid

 

Aye,he's a disgrace. Not like Ward.

 

But why does that earn you the right to fight a one sided fight on ppv? Why should fans again have to pay more? I like Froch, for along time he was my favourite british boxer, I like seeing him fight but no boxer just deserves to be on ppv in a fight he's most probably gonna win for keeping british boxing relevant, as one of the posters above said, he's gave alot to boxing but boxing has gave back to him in the bucket load

 

stop right there is he the first :think or will he be the last :think

as stated whats good for one is good for the other

there should be no double standards in a sport as hard as boxing :bart

 

There you go, are you arguing that Froch deserves a final ppv against a cherry picked opponent because he's earned it or are you arguing Froch deserves a final ppv against a cherry picked opponent because others have done it?

If your debate is he's earned I disagree and don't think anyone deserves a cherry picked opponent as there "goodbye" fight

If you debate is others have don't it, that doesn't make it right? I'm not saying some deserve it but Froch doesn't, just this thread is about Froch and is why I'm discussing him and not all other fighters

 

i agree but once the bar is set it is set :yep

will you do the same job as your collegue for longer hours and less money :think

 

if he is looking for a fight to generate the millions he has become accustomed too it has to be a big name , he wont generate the numbers he wants with a cherry picked easy fight .

 

Well thankfully his cash cow Chavez fight has gone, which means he'll have to either get off his **** and fight GGG or ward or retire, as a Froch fan I'm happy for him to do either
