Carl Froch - The man you love to hate

FFS...you still have no idea how good he is after fighting bum Pascal? The fact he was even in a competitive fight with Pascal speaks volumes. He's an ******* on top of it which is why so many of us will enjoy his destruction.

 

well thats bollocks, pascal is top ten (well maybe since the defeat slipped out) i think froch is going to lose. He has the better chin, and the bigger dig, but taylor is far more skilled, and way more experienced. I dont think froch should have wound taylor up like he has, taylors biggest weakness is his mental attitude, but by being so mouthy, froch has assured that taylor will be right up for this one. I will always root for the british fighter, i hope he does it, but i dont think he will, taylor wide UD, or maybe (even though froch has such a noted chin) KO by the 8th

 

Whom did Pascal beat to prove he was top 10...or what performance against a top 10 fighter proved to you he was Top 10?

 

lol@ Pavlik ruined Taylor. Yeah he really looked ruined in the 2nd fight. Maybe it just won't have showed up till he fights Fraud? Maybe when JT decapitates Froch some will say Pascal ruined him...lol

 

How do you know how good Pascal is? They were both relatively untested before their fight

 

I'm in with the few that think Taylor did OK in his comeback fight against Lacy.

 

Good luck with that.

Froch has a chin of re-inforced titanium.

Froch KO11. No way Taylor can deal with that combination of power, chin, stamina, aggressiveness and heart.

 

The champion doesn't get the freedom to choose where he fights his mandatories. It goes to whichever promoter ofers the most money to the WBC to stage it. I don't know if this fight actually went to purse bids, most of them don't because it's obvious beforehand who would win the bid and that's usually the American promoters. Most fighters would fight at home given the choice.

 

He fought good boxers at amatuer, like Denis Inkin and I think Bute (might be wrong about that,) and was never knocked down.

 

:yep

PS. the amateur experience counts for next to nothing in pro boxing.

 

:deal

 

Poetry!

 

Has anyone started a list of all the Frochluddites so we can keep track of how many (or few) of them show their faces after he loses?

I'd estimate the avatar bet thread would be a good place to start.

 

Froch is nowhere near as good as his mouth suggests.

I think Taylor will beat him quite comfortably and if not then Kessler will destroy him.

 

No. If this went to purse bid the fight wouldn't have happened. Taylor wouldn't fight for the short stack. Purse bid was extended, I think twice.
