    I am from London and I too like Froch...

    As for prejudice, well to paraphrase a UKIP (the seemingly socially acceptable populist racist party) spokesman as to why their party did not do as well in London, compared to the rest of the Country:

    "London is educated."

    it's probably more to do with the fact no English people live there anymore. :rofl

    Well considering we are all 'from' East Africa, arguably English, like all nationality is an abstract concept...

    Lennox Lewis, born and raised in London, went to Canada at age 15 not really stretching is it. No need to be jealous :yep

    I was at the Premier league darts while in Nottingham, and when Froch took to the stage the crowd booed him, could be because of his post fight interview when he sounded like a twat, or could it be when he took to the stage and said 'George Groves is in for a 3rd whooping'. Froch picked up on it and it showed in his face. But this hate certainly ain't no London thing, it's a National thing!

    Respect has more density to it, we can change the people we like, quite quickly, respect is a different story.

    Watching some of the first fight again and you have to respect Froch for the punishment he took and the fact he was still swinging and in any kind of position to even be chasing the fight in round 9.

    You weren't at the darts, were you? :patsch

    If you were you'd know the booing was towards some Groves fans in the corner. :roll:

    Why on Earth would someone lie about something like that? :think
