    Yeah, when his opponents are sparked out on the canvas with stars and birds flying rounf their heads it leaves little room for ambiguity.

    Don't believe all you read about the Taylor fight either. When I've read negative opinions on here then gone back to watch it i've been surprised at how good Froch looks. His success in that fight has been seriously down played. He'll do ok in this tournament. I can easily see him making the final.

    Froch did decently in the second half of the fight with pure pressure but you aren't fooling anybody that he looked good for the first half.

    He hardly landed a meaningful punch and was eating double jabs, getting squared on and put on his ass.
     
  4. Froch cannot afford to leave his chin hanging out against the likes of Abraham or Kessler. Punching his way out of trouble will only get him so far.

    Don't you wish Calzaghes career took a similar path!

    Was never a big fan tbh.

    But that all changed with the Pascal fight, and was affirmed even more with the gutsy comeback against Taylor.

    He's currently one of my favourites.

    I've been saying for about 5 years that Froch is a guy that deserves your support.....but most were slagging him off.
    Well it seems that more and more ****s are finally waking up to what a quality guy he is......no bull**** and just honest fighting. and a great attitude.....unlike more celebrated frauds like Hatton.
    Shame most people are too stupid to see the clowns from the good guys, and end up reading a book by its cover.

    Do you change your tune? There's a new bloke on here you might like- he likes the same broken recotrds that you do as well- his name is World's Greatest. Maybe you should look out for him as I heard he likes acting like a wanker as well.:good

    this has nothing to do with acting, and everything to do with telling it like it is.
    if you don't like the truth., well you just have to deal with it.

    :bloodJames Toney has to be the most overrated fighter of all time. That's a fact, mate.

    you're a good poster losfer..but i gotta disagree there, James Toney is the most naturally talented of his era, the guy's skillset is awesome and unmatched, how many guys have you seen sit in the pocket like that and dominate from there, great defence and offense, he rolls with punches, can box on the backfoot, frontfoot, great set up, a fantastic technician, brillient counter puncher, he's slicker then deer guts on a doorknob, with an all round game, how many guys do know who still have their slickness into their 40s? he's from the old school and i would recommmed any young fighter to study him

    his biggest deficiency was that he was so indisciplined and had an addiction to burger king thats what let him down and why even though he did a lot i feel he soo underachieved, but his pure boxing ability cannot be undermined, i think with proper dedication he could've been the GOAT thats how highly i rate him :good

    slip, don't worry. I was trying to hit him back with something equally as stupid! Unfortunately he didn't bite! I am no hater of Light's Out.
