    I like Carl Froch, he’s been brilliant for British boxing and I’m happy he got into the hall of fame.

    But the biggest thing that I like about Froch is his honesty, doesn’t dance to any channels tune and is always honest.

    Not sure why he’s hating on AJ but I’m assuming that it’s got to do with leaving McCracken (the way in which he fired McCracken)

    Anyway does anyone have any info on this?

    I think it stems from jealousy of AJ. That and Froch is a tit.

    Maybe, but AJ hasn`t had a better career than Froch did.

    Froch was an elite fighter who fought the best in his division whereas Joshua is a bang average fighter who feasted on puddings.

    Agreed but AJ financially is in a different realm. May be hard for Froch to accept given AJ has been found out a bit

    He's a bang average heavyweight in the grand scheme of things, who had a decent streak with very lucky timing while the whole division was bang average. Still think Wilder would have put a stop to it but Ruiz did it first.

    It's about AJ doing bigger numbers than him at Wembley.

    Froch has always been a wanker.

    Who did Froch beat worth a toss?

    Carl was just what Boxing needed at the time. But his biggest wins were against an old Kessler, Groves, and a hypejob in Bute.

    I went to a few of Carl's fights but he was arguably 3rd best in that division.

    He was in a very good division and most of his fights had uncertain pre fight outcomes since and including Magee.

    Taylor and a Prime King Arthur were very good wins at the time plus he was not scared to fight away from home.

    Ward was the only fighter that really had his number.

    Bute a hypejob? That was a 50/50 fight where Froch destroyed him and he was never the same.

    Take off those Joshua Glasses @Brixton Bomber as you are having a complete mare on here.

    Not disputing that mate. I don't like either of them for the record.

    Lol @ Abraham. Too big for MW and too small for SM.

    Taylotlr had been battered by Pavlik.

    Froch was he bookies favorite to finish last in the super 6. I’ve never been a fan of his and wanted Groves to smash him. But I have warmed to him of late.

    The last few years of his career were littered with fantastic wins, fighting top guys one after another with no pointless tune ups in between. Got to give him his dues.

    All being said, the Groves 1 fight was an awful stoppage.

    Froch opinion would be a lot more valid if most of it didn’t stem from AJ changing trainer.
