He's a hack with marginal talent who has had some lucky matchmaking and fought basically no one of note. JT was a has been, Dirrell is a not-yet and Pascal is a middling champ in a weak division now. That would all be well and good except Froch has no self-awareness whatsoever and doesn't understand why he isn't afforded more respect. He has yet to show that he's more than a one trick slugger with a good enough chin. This tournament will prove a lot about Froch, unfortunately he's going to leave it with losses to Kessler, Abraham, and quite possibly Ward as well. Consider that Froch was 14 seconds from losing to a Jermain Taylor who was just outboxed by ARTHUR ABRAHAM over 12 rounds, AND JT was in better shape for the AA fight. Then he turns around and looks utterly embarrassing against a guy he was supposedly going to maul. He showed his class, both in and out of the ring, and he's lacking. It's got nothing to do with being British and everything to do with being a poor boxer with more mouth than talent. He's Floyd Mayweather, except his resume is worse and he hasn't got even an iota of the talent. As insufferable as Floyd might be when he talks about his greatness, imagine how much more insufferable he was a one dimensional, one weight division, single belt champ with a mediocre resume. I wish Calzaghe had taken a fight with this guy just to shut him the **** up.
Ive been a hardcore fan for 30 years,and also knowledgable on the History of the sport since the beginning,so actually im not a hater I think I can honestly say that the only fighters i really dislike are Froch and Zab Judah. I used to dislike Mayweather but im coming around with him,cuz hes obviously a great fighter.
By proper I assume you mean Kessler will make it easy for Froch to hit him, since Froch is only capable of hitting a guy show is standing in front of him exchanging punches? Good luck getting that to happen. Kessler is going to maul him, and it's going to be easy. If Froch couldn't hurt a Dirrell that Hanshaw had on ***** street how is he going to hurt Kessler? He's gotten one KO in his last three fights, which were his first step up fights, and that was against JT in the last seconds of the 12th when JT was basically out on his feet from exhaustion anyway. The buildup to the Kessler fight is going to be great. The aftermath will be splendid. I'll say this, at least his megalomania, coupled with mediocre boxing skills makes it fun to watch him get embarrassed.
Now that's a cool reply . . . I apologize if you found my responses rude. I'm not a rude poster not unless I'm pushed. Just a misunderstanding . . . let's just enjoy the forum. I have also been a fan of the sports for 30 yrs. . . but I don't take note of what happened in the past. I just concentrate on what's going on. I don't play the race card . . . I appreciate fighters coming from all corners of the globe as long as they give good action fights. I don't hate any fighter. Let's be cool.
I agree but professional boxing is scored where each judge scores each round using the following criteria: Clean Punching (25%) Effective Aggression (25%) Ring Generalship (25%) Defense (25%)
Their is no hate for Crotch because he's a great guy again who got lucky with JT and with Dirrell but like bettin horse's luck only take's you so far and his lucky streak is about to end with Mr Kessler and also Mr Abraham Putting an end to his luck and afer that we won't have to worry about why all the hate for Right Froch because we won't hear or see much of him...... But hay he had a good Lucky Run while it lasted!!!:yep
For real man. I was shaking my head in disbelief on his post interview. And he have the nerve to say that dirrell would never beat the cobra. Ru F**King kidding me?atsch
I am not american but i live in america. I like/hate everybody equally. I don't like Froch but his post fight too. He got a big gift against Dirrell by doing absolutely nothing. And his fans or countrymen won't even admit it.
second that, some people just can't except when their fav fighter loses and cry a river. hell now some people are making up things about AA's gloves
The reason people hate him is because he talks so much **** for a fighter that has no skills at all. His post fight comments are the most ignorant **** i ever seen and not giving anyone any type of credit.
