Froch's retirement befit the man he is.

bet you still watched everyone of his fights on sky tho and wouldnt miss the next one if he came out retirement .... ultimately this is what its all about ... will people tune in to watch his fights. Floyd is possibly the most hated boxer in the world (possibly!) but he is a promoters/tv companies dream. More people that hate means more people will watch him ... from what i see haters are just as fanatical as those who love the fighters.

 

Spot on. :good

 

I don't understand how he could retire when he had possibly the biggest fight of his career against GGG on his radar a few weeks ago. If he won that he probably would go down as an atg. I still don't think we have seen the last of Carl froch though.

 

Achieved some fantastic things, absolute see you next Tuesday of a bloke.

 

... and if he lost he possibly ends up a vegetable.

 

At 38 injuries mounting,money in the bank and 14 month layoff did anyone really think he would fight again after the football equivalent of a testimonial against Chavez Jr fell through?

Not his biggest fan at all.He was calling out JC when he had bigger money fights out there which he rightly took,all about coin end of the day.JC would have beaten Froch handily would of proved nothing at the time.People reinvent what they feel.

Froch provided some great nights regardless.Fighting GGG when you are banged up against a guy reaching his peak when you don't need it he bailed at the right time.

 

Froch only has himself to blame for being little liked. The latest events did little to improve his image. Lately opponents have had to go to great lengths to temp him into the ring, usually failing to do so. You cant be a boxer and then not want to step into the ring, so I also think it's better for boxing that he leaves the sport.
He's not retiring on a loss but he's still retiring on a bum note.

 

If he'd fought and beat GGG, he'd have gone down as either a bully who beat up a MW, or a cherry picker who instead of rematching Ward, beat an undersized hypejob.

The GGG fight while likely to be entertaining, was most certainly a lose lose situation, whatever the result.

I'd loved to have seen it, but you can't have everything.

Lots of talk about Froch giving everybody a bum steer by saying he's done.

I agree that we may not have seen the last of him.

 

Is this your first ever post that doesn't contain the word HEARN ?

 

A lot of fans upset at a 38year old retiring wonder why?, i think it may be because he didn't hang around long enough like your heroes tyson, rjj, Hatton etc to get ktfo

 

Exactly, he's retired on his own terms without knocking the legacy he's built, with his health intact and a lot of cash in the bank... boxing's not "retired him".

That's the best way to leave the game.

 

Boring fighter, boring person and now a confirmed chicken

 

When SKY gave the 20 designated boxing dates to one promoter a year in Matchroom plus PPV (lol) cards also you get this over hyping of any fighter on that platform.

Froch from BBC Grandstand Saturday afternoon highlights to getting PPV....Fair play to him a very good fighter in some great fights.

JC and Lennox Lewis in great fights but great fighters.
