    i know, i wish that too, but i guess it was emotion talking, you know after a 12 round brawl you would do well to be thinking sensibly.

    the whole debate about fighting abraham, i do understand that. froch has been in two fights now that would have been different results had they been in different countries.

    atleast now the fight with adamek there can be no talk of hometown decisions.

    it was an all out war wasnt it. then again the marquez - diaz rematch is on this weekend so that could end up being a barnstormer again also.

    yea but as good as the first one was, I was gripped by the froch - kessler fight, round 12 was up there with any of the Vazquez - Marquez rounds. Maybe not in terms of quality, but in terms of out and out determination and will to win.

    Looking forward to the fight this weekend all the same.

    He's also one of the toughest *******s on the planet. When he was a kid he fell of his bike and got straight back on it.

    round 12 was like something off a rocky film. and the fight was close enough that i felt at the time, a knockdown by either guy would win them the fight.

    one of the best moments in the fight was when froch walked right into a straight right hand counter by kessler, and it landed flush on the bridge of frochs nose, and probably broke it. that punch was so vicious it hurt me!

    how froch stayed standing was beyond me!

    What Froch doesn`t have in skills, he have in heart and guts. And that alone can be a scary weapon!

    I like Froch and there is not many top fighters who aren't a little arrogant!

    Mayweather is a total ****

    Ali was a bit of a *****

    Not that i'm comparing him to these two however most fighters are cocky out of the ring Froch is just a little more high profile than most.

    He's got balls is not afraid to fight and DOES have skill he is a bronze medalist from the 2001 world championships and last time i looked they weren't giving them out to the kids like free sweeties!

    his current record speaks alone..he would fight anyone & at any time. Warrior status!
    It's a shame his promoter is doing a grand- lousy job and ruining carl's career!

    He's decent to watch in the ring, but a whining ***** outside it.

    I think Froch is underrated. He's very unorthodox but that doesn't mean he isn't skilled. He just does things differently. To say he's less skilled than Green is ridiculous. Less textbook technique? Sure, but many great fighters didn't follow the rules either.

    I tend to think his chin is underrated too. Many people think he will collapse soon, but I see his chin as almost undentable. He can be buzzed, yeah, but from shots he sees, hehas an amazing chin. This is where his unorthodox style hurts him because he moves into shots too easily but he has a granite chin.

    I've got to agree

    where does nebody barring those in the upper levels of the sport have ne right to say he has no skill.

    The first amateur world medal champion england had

    a few ABA championship

    British champ outright

    WBC champion

    I like to see him get his props but to say he has no skill is rich coming from any body even his fans, obviously not a boxer
