Are people here really trying to say Froch isn't as arrogant as Khan?... the guy who firmly believes he would be able to beat Ward in Nottingham, after getting dominated by him under a year ago??. I guess when Froch does it, it's "confidence" though. These guys are in a highly competitive, dangerous sport... if they didn't believe in their abilities I would be worried. What do you expect Khan to say? "I got smashed by Garcia and Mayweather would dominate me. Also I'm really not that smart, please love me now"... Khan is no more or less arrogant than most other top fighters nowadays, although he may be less intelligent, which is saying something I guess
froch shouldn't get overconfident lets not forget who Yusuf mack was, a washed up LHW contender who lost all his big fights. and by the way it was not long ago where froch was claiming he would be up there with marvin hagler, sugar rey leonnard and hearns if he fought in the 80s era, YES the deluded mother****er said this.
they both should show respect for one another.... i didn't say froch should show more than khan... truth is froch cant help himself his jealous and bitter of khan.... khan talks a lot of trash but its a different kind of trash to froch
What do you really think he has to be jealous of at this point? Could he crave the credibility Amir has amongst boxing circles? Could he envy Amir's vastly superior durability? It's another myth that Amir is more popular than Froch now.Yes,Froch didn't get recognition until very late in the day,but he has credibility that Amir will never have. All Froch is doing is enjoying his moment in the sun.Why do Khan fans have to cry about it? Khan goes around calling Mayweather and Morales cowards,(Paraphrasing for Morales) yet some black humour from Froch has Khan's crew bubbling?
khan is on record as saying that froch should retire after the kessler fight, and should put up his posters, i think froch who is enjoying success again is returning the favor.
They are both as bad as each other in many respects. Neither personality is that great tbh ... Khan has always shot himself in the foot, and listening to Froch lately drone on constantly about how great he is himself has also started to get a little tiresome. I can understand Froch ( being 35 ) trying to make the most of his Indian summer in terms of his boxing career, but i would prefer he showed a little more humility. Saying that ... ive given up on Khan in regards to such things
At least Froch doesn't refer to himself in the third person or constantly talk about how much of a superstar he is.
Khan is just jelous because while he just signed a multi fight deal with showtime ( considered frochs home) froch just fought on intrgrated ppv. lets not forget khan has like 2-3 ppv fights coming up win or lose. Besides its not judt khan. Froch cries about haye and hatton. Doesnt matter though he will be gone soon.
Its good Khan is getting all this stick from everyone, the only way the shut everyone is to do his job properly in the ring, Khan needed to be humbled in the ring again, smart fighters learn from their first mistake, Khan needed to be reminded twice. Lets see if he learns this time or Froch is right, thinking your a superstar and getting KO is a joke, Khan needs to beat Garcia to gain even my respect back for him.
I'm not sure Khan should need to beat Garcia to get your respect, Darni. That may not ever happen, they may not even fight again although on the balance of probabilities its likely. Khan's been a decent fighter, he deserves respect regardless of what we think of his personality, as a boxer he deserves respect. He doesn't need to do anything to 'earn' respect in a ring, IMO.
I as a fan feel let down, lets face it Khan was ment to beat Peterson and Garcia, if he cant beat this level comp why the **** was he even thinking about Mayweather?? What makes it even more painful Khan could of beaten both guys without too much trouble, Peterson being the harder guy to beat imo. Garcia has a great well timed left hook, apart from that Khan beats him in most areas. But Khan's lack of respect for both fighters lost him the fights, at this level and knowing what was at stake its plain dumb/Stupid/big Ego.
Darni, he's competing at world level. Your expectation of him was always way too high to begin with. It's not his ego, his attitude or lack of respect for his opponent that lost him them fights. It's just that he's not an elite fighter.
Someone needed to remind Khan of this fact World Level, At World Level you dont try and blast the guys out in the first 2 rounds, someone needed to remind him its a 12 round fight. What was the hurry about?? Thats lack of respect for me at World Level.
