    Inkin pulled out injured a few times, which made it suspicious, and has done **** all since.

    Has any current boxer fought 5 better boxers in a row?

    I was quite drunk watching it so I can't quite remember...it wasn't an entertaining bout from what I do remember though.

    Unless Froch wins the S6 and has the prestige to go with it his resume might not get any better after the S6.

    Froch is a tough fight for most smw's, doesn't bring much money to the table as he is largely unknown to the general public and he has a **** promoter. All this adds up to high risk-low reward.

    Shame really considering he is an old school warrior.

    He may not be the best fighter out there (though I think his skills may be a bit underrated at times) but he's definitely willing to give it a go.

    I think half the stuff he says is just a joke but he seriously believes all the warrior stuff he talks.

    The poor guy is practically a nobody compared to the Hayes, Khans and Hattons. For his resume and the fact that he's competing in a major tournament, he unfortunately doesn't get the recognition he deserves here in the UK. That in my opinion is a travesty. His promoter or whoever else, should be doing a better job than this.

    With that said, I hope Abraham smashes him to bits.

    John Murray was on Sky a couple of weeks ago and he's a Hennessy fighter so maybe Froch will get his chance on Sky now and get the exposure he deserves. Though probably not, Hennessy is a **** poor promoter and Sky are absolute ****s hyping up **** mismatch fights like they're 50/50s then putting them on Sky Box Office when Froch is out there having wars that aren't even being shown on TV. Know which I'd rather watch.

    Glad some people are giving the guy credit here, unlike so many boxing "fans" who mock his (underated) skills and have a go at his (obviously tongue-in-cheek) trash talk. The guy is a credit to boxing, he takes on all comers, gives us great fighters, and is one of the funniest ****-talkers around. Shame he's been so terribly promoted.

    Froch is a breath of fresh air in modern day boxing, He had had 5 top class 50/50 fights in the time Haye/Klistchkos Pac/May have been going back and forth. The sad thing is at the end of his career he will have a hellova lot less money than he deserves.

    People might not like him but he's the best British fighter around and his resume is brilliant. He's a credit to the sport.
