    I hope we don't lose him soon, would like to see him in 2-3 more fights anyway.

    I agree with the TS.

    Credit to Froch.

    (and yes, he's a brutal ko to happen...possibly by Abraham)

    Froch is a tough cookie,but is given too much credit for beating overrated Taylor.I just don't understand this "Wow he beat Taylor in Taylor's backyard"attitude whereas Taylor had already been beaten twice(including once by knockout)by the reluctant Pavlik.I see the brawl with Kessler as a far more impressive performance even if he didn't get the nod,although it could have gone either way.THAT was a fight that defined each as an iron man.

    froch makes fights exciting by wanting toe to toe tear ups every time. his moaning and bull**** is annoying tho, and he also thinks he is a lot bettter than he actually is. close decision could of gone either way against direll, taylor running out of energy in the last 60 seconds, and the only reason he owned a belt is because joe c left them behind. if it wasn't for his mouth i would like the guy tho...

    A don't like the bloke as a boxer but one thing i can't argue with & he is hard as **** !
    and doesnt back down which is a credit to the man , although a thought he lost clearly to kessler a wouldda had more respect for him instead of his complaining after it

    the thing is i feel like froch could be so much better of a boxer than he is

    if he had legitimately good combinations and overall skills i would say he would be the favorite to win this tourney along with ward

    in the ring though the guy is a warrior and doesnt give an inch

    How is he hype??
    He's worked his arse off and earned his standing in boxing, no one is saying he's going to be an ATG ffs.

    I'd like you to explain:
    1) Who hyped him?
    2) How he's only Euro level?

    He is like this because he has no choice. If he had the money and fame of a Mayweather and Khan, he would also take easier fights. He has to take the hard fights to get some hype and make money.

    I still think that froch's only disadvantage as a fighter is lack of speed.
    If he was almost as quick as ward or dirrell, i think he would have swept
    the super 6. He has very good ring generalship. He can slip punches with the best, but is too slow sometimes to do so. He is very cunning and sees
    everything thrown at him and sees everything he throws. He cuts the ring very well and has a chin, good power, and more heart than anyone in the tourney. I'm telling you that speed is froch's only killer. Lacking a major tangible like speed, power, chin, heart or skill is what keeps one from
    acheiving legendary status, but doesn't necessarily keep one from acheiving greatness. Froch just happens to lack that one thing that is key
    in establishing yourself over every other fighter in your realm.....Speed!

    He's a great fighter outside of that, and he doesn't make a single boring fight.

    I agree with most of the posts here. His attitude is what we need. Fight fans have been dicked around enough recently we need more fighters with his attitude

    I like Froch as a fighter. He fights the best and he always gives his all. Great entertainer.

    I hate his cry baby attitude since losing to Kessler tho.

    I think your friend conveniently forgets that Taylor was going to outright duck Froch unless the fight was taking place in the States.

    :hey
