    Totally agree, Moore is a **** hot commentator and whilst alot of people don't like Smith and Bellew they are good commentators imo, as you say alot better than Froch.

    Well we will never find out as one fighter agreed to the demands whilst the other posture on twitter then retired.

    It is a lot more complex then that and you know it is. Fights are not made on twitter mate.

    No they are not.

    What we do know is Loeffer and Hearn spoke, Golovkin agreed to move up to 168 and agreed to the preliminary requests from both camps. Hearn said an agreement had been made and Froch decided to retire.

    But we know he wouldn't of retired if Chavez had won.

    Maybe but after such a tough career you cant blame him for wanting a easy payday whilst fulfilling a lifelong ambition boxing in Vegas.

    No I don't he had a great career with a pretty limited skill set as far as top tier fighter goes.

    He is not a Super skilled boxer I agree, however he has a massive heart amazing chin and phenomenal stamina.

    So why so much hatred for the man. I wanted Groves to knock him the **** out in both fights, but now his career is over I can appreciate what a good fighter he was.

    I know he talks **** on tv, but I doubt he has had much media training, I guarantee if me or you was working for Sky Sports then we would come out with some clangers ourself.

    I'm hot and miss with him when he's on TV he's got a very dry sense of humour which I like at times but I've never seen a more insecure man who has achieved so much. He needs his ego constantly massaged.

    As for a fighter he was elite at 168, but let's be honest he'd have fought Chavez if he'd beaten Fonfara and there was no talk of retirement.

    when Chavez lost he was left with 3 viable opponents Ward,Golovkin and Degale. Personally I know Ward beats him,he has no chance in that fight. Golovkin I think beats him but it seems Froch didn't want to risk losing thus affecting his legacy against a middleweight. And then there is Degale who I 5hink Froch would beat but imo Froch doesn't seem so sure or he would have fought him in another British blockbuster.

    Froch is a British great but that doesn't make him immune from criticism.

    I would of loved to have seen the Degale fight and I agree he is very insecure.

    He is bitter because he knows the majority of boxing fans will always have Calzaghe ranked higher.
