    You know what i had alot of doubts about Froch based on his previous peformances. But this guy shows the balls and continues to impress. That was a complete shutout!?!? Boy did i get that wrong. Too much respect for this dude. Im not a bandwagoner but Froch just made me a fan thats real.

    David Haye is the best fighter in the country......end of.

    Its Mick Hennessy's fault, the fat ****ing waster. Carl Froch does not get the exsposure, and recognition, because of this waster of a promoter.

    What does Mick Hennessy do, from day to day....? Make afew phone calls, and stuff his face with pies...?

    I can't stand the **** twat.

    He destroys boxers careers, because he cares to much about pie's and ice cream. He needs to sort himself out and get Carl Froch a deal with SKY, ITV OR BBC.

    I agree that Mick Hennesey should be the most shamed by Frochs lack of recognition hes got a genuine World class fighter and Legit World champ not just an alphabet champ in Carl Froch and only really die hard boxing fans have heard of him.

    I've been a fan ever since the Pascal fight.

    I never thought Froch would be able to do what's he's done but he put on a tremendous show in the Pascal fight and has gone on to give his all and take on the best.

    The guy's shut me up and many other's, good and proper. :oops: :good

    Froch is a real warrior and if you're not a fan of him then you're not a fan of boixing.

    Never been a big fan of the Cobra. I think Dirrell, Ward, Bute are better than him. But he is what is good about boxing. He will fight the best and lay it all on the line. He gets my respect for that. If clowns like Harrison can get on Sky Sports then this warrior needs to definitely be on there.

    I've liked Froch since his early days. Mainly down to his attitude. I didn't expect him to be as successful as he has been, didn't think he was that good.
    I agree it's a travesty that celebrity boxers like Hatton, Khan, Fraudley, Haye etc get way more attention and money than guys like Froch, who doesn't have a manufactured record and tests himself against the best available. The same cannot be said about chancers like Haye, Hatton, Khan etc.

    Froch was top class,he takes on all comers non of this hand picked rubbish you get with most of Franl warrens fighters.
    Fights abroad to ot cossetted and fighting at home.He deserves as many no more plaudits than calzaghe without a doubt.

    Froch will fight anyone, unlike Void. Froch has fought in other fighter's home towns. Froch got robbed in the Kessler fight. I had Froch winning and he could have knocked Kessler out! Froch should have 6 points. Ward will not fight outside of his home town. Froch/Ward fight should be in neutral territory, but Ward is counting on his personal referee and judges as usual.
     
  11. for fcuks sake, he did not get robbed against kessler. People forget froch was hurt in that fight 2.
    I think carl has a great chance to win the super 6 now, he should beat johnson and then we will see how wards dirty tricks come up against the cobra

    I've always given Froch his recognition despite the fact I don't like him. Fact.

    Froch has the respect from the true boxing fans around the world. I personally think he'll be more than happy with that when he retires.

    He'd have surely left Hennessey a long time ago if he was desperate to become a household name?

    Froch is the real deal. It will take a B+ level performance by a B+ fighter to beat him in a close, hard fight. Froch is a top world class fighter for sure. Very good performance.

    I think he's got best chance of getting in the papers not for his superb record of taking on tough tough fights and winning nearly all (at home would have beaten Kessler too) but for his missus.

    Sure he is bothered that the relatively undeserving hype jobs get the coverage but as was said earlier if he wanted that he'd have left Hennessey.
    He's always said he wanted to test himself against the best and long after he's retired his record is going to elevate him higher than others with more column inches.
