    I'm a fan....But he's got no business getting ppls hopes up only to douse them again.

    Last yr it was the poll...which GGG won by 30%....

    Now he pretends interested in the fight but was merely hyping a DeGale fight I think

    His Polish half is dead to me. He is now pure Brit AFAIK.

    Carl Froch should have been much bigger than he is in the UK, it's almost criminal that for a large majority of his career he was an unknown. Ricky Hatton for whatever reason was seen as a bigger star. While guys like Froch and Calzaghe for whatever reasons don't get to his level of popularity over there.

    :lol::rofl:lol:

    That was a great chant I must admit, it made for a great fight atmosphere. Hatton had some great fans and support no doubt.

    Hatton was seen as more of a man of the people and portrayed himself as such. That's why he was more popular.

    What is Froch seen as over there? I can kind of understand Calzaghe not being as popular because he was from Wales but with Froch I don't understand it.

    Stop being a baby. He's a grown man and can do what he wants. Enjoy him in the ring and stfu.

    He is well respected in England as far as I'm aware. Like I said I just think the fans could relate to Hatton more

    I'm sure all of you guys are very likable and upstanding pillars of your community, Froch is pompous, that's a hell of a lot better a flaw than most have.

    Ricky was a bit more of the bloke you'd see at the pub, loved his Guinness, loved his fish n'chips and his football team. He was pretty funny as well, always has a good joke. Froch is more respected because of his toughness and his determination. As a personality, some people find him a bit arrogant although some think that's justified as he backs it up. He used to be a bit awkward with interviews as well.

    Well stated:good

    Besides, Froch has a reason to be pompous, considering his career and that piece of ass that he has for a wife.
