    Since Froch has got on the world level has there been anyone is in as many good excititng fights as hehas ? Pascal, Taylor, Grovesx2, Kessler x2 all absolotuely top class fights, Even the Dirrell fight had some interesting moments and that anticpation for one of Frochs onslaughts is always soemthing that gets you on the edge of your seat. Bute was a great fight aswell and Ward for for the number 1 undisputed championship at 168.

    He's pretty much retired at heart now, hope he gives one more good lash at a someone like Golovkin to really go down as a great.

    Has there been anyone more exciting?

    I'd maybe say Pacquiao but Froch is right up there too.

    So far Hearn has said their still interested and Froch just got injured while preparing for Chaves. Ward called GGG out and GGG first said he isn't PPV ( is that ducking?) and then said he wants to finish at 160 first ( is that ducking?) You can play fanboy games all day but I say let's see what happens when GGG moves up to SMW. To me you can't duck someone who is not in your division wouldn't you agree? GGG's team has said their hoping for Chaves and Froch soon. If it was completely off the table I doubt they would mention it. Then again Froch could be retired soon before GGG moves up he's old in boxing years and has been in a lot of wars. He is clearly past his best. I think GGG would wait to play the weight game anyway until at least he cleans up MW which would be wise. He is in his 30's and jumping up and down with no body fat could mess with what he has going on.

    Biggest heart over the last 8 years - then you have my vote.

    There are more exciting fighters than Carl.

    Big fan though.

    Most exciting? No. Pacquiao, Marquez, Donaire, GGG, just off the top of my head are more exciting. Rios, Arce, and a couple of others too were known for their wars in that period. Oh, and how could I forget Matthysse? Guerrero, Berto, and Ortiz have had some exciting matches too.
