    I couldnt give a toss about Khan but it would be funny to see him get sparked again.

    I want to see Froch win because he he is better than pascal and it will be good to watch him in title fights over the next few years. He has an exciting style. That and I have money on him.

    It would be funny to see Froch sparked too, after he's praised his iron chin so much. Of course, Pascal doesn't look like the man to do it...

    i think it'll be a points win for khan coz hes lost all the muscle and will probably more quick with less power on his punches

    i want froch and khan to win..... i think pascal might beat carl though, hes shown the better skills..

    Aren't you just allowed to dislike Khan as a fighter and at the same time like Froch as a fighter?

    I don't care about Khan, the fight barely raises my interest-o-meter above a cool zero.

    I'd like Froch to win, he brings something to the division with his mouth. He's already got a fearsome rep for talking smack, he's the only real bad guy at 168. He's also a powerful puncher and easy to hit (yet can actually take a punch) so it makes for exciting matchups.

    They're both offensively minded risk-takers who never say no to a fight, even when it's not in their best interest, and they both have exciting, crowd pleasing styles...it's not like Khan's an Ottke type fighter and Froch's like Kessler!

    I recognize that, but there is (and always was) a realization in the back of your mind that says Khan is going to get KO'd as soon as he faces a good fighter, or even gets hit with a good punch.

    That doesn't make for the same kind of excitement.

    Some would say that makes for more excitement because the average Khan fight is likely to end in a KO one way or the other.

    At the same time that is your fight outcome unpredictability down the toilet.

    If Froch impresses, we may be able to say that he has the power and chin to cause an upset even though he has a propensity for being outboxed.

    Whereas Khan...exciting style tick...recklessness tick...chin...uh oh. He loses every time.

    Anyway, I don't particularly want Khan to lose. ***an winning isn't exactly a healthy thing.

    I see what you're saying with the comparison.

    I'm not totally sure of Froch; I think his "world class" power is yet to be proven.

    But generally, I'd say he has faced a better class of fighter and threfore deserves to run his mouth a bit more than Khan.

    To be honest I think it's largely a British trait to be pesimistic, negative and critical of sportsmen who are on the up. Bizarrely we just enjoy it as a nation. It's the same with the national football team, tennis etc etc. We seem to be unique in this as the yanks always get behind their guys. I personally wish the likes of Khan and Froch all the success because they are 2 of our best chances of world titles. I don't get why we seem to revel in the failure of these guys. Khan and Macca seem to get the worst of this but I can't think of a cruiser and a lightweight from Britain that have a better chance at winning a strap

    Khan is a multi millionaire despite beating nobody his own size froch has chased everyone out of town and now has his well deserved shot at the world title.

    Decebollocks - your the biggest ***** in internet land. i read your sh*t all over ther place even on froches site - your a troll who probably has no life and has never even hit a punchbag nevr mind have a fight.



    your a 5'2 teenager i reckon.

    I want Khan to lose because I don't like him.

    I want Froch to win because I'm from Nottingham.
