Just fight Ward again already, he might knock some of the ****ing delusion out of him.

 

Froch fights Chavez Jr in June/July

 

On Sky Sports 3. With Lee Purdy on the undercard. Woo ****ing hoo.

 

Just stating a Fact!

 

Doubt it. Hearn surely wouldn't be silly enough to green light that! Sky Box Office won't touch it.

Pathetic excuses from an increasingly desperate Carl Froch.

 

I really wish Carl would stop saying he gave Groves an opportunity, he is quoted as saying he stopped a voluntary....no he didn't! Groves was a mandatory challenger. Convenient excuse to bring up Degale, this has been a PR disaster for the Cobra.

 

The IBF should order a rematch or make Froch vacate and show him up for the ducker he really is.

 

In his latest iFL interview Fast Car seems to be cooling on Froch- virtually admitting the International Superstar had got the tone wrong in his post match interview.

The fact is although Groves might not be everyone's cup of tea he has conducted himself rather well after the fight, with Froch sounding delusional to say he has been disrespectful.

 

Quotes from Froch from that article:

1 - "There is a real stink of hypocrisy about this because George Groves has been telling anyone who would listen I have a duty to fight him"

Well, no he hasn't. He been telling anyone who will listen that he feels hard done by and wants a rematch and feels he deserves one, and the lions share of the sympathy of the boxing public is with him. Many people have argued that Froch will lose a lot of respect if he doesn't give Groves a rematch.

2 - "I beat him fair and square. The referee stopped the contest and there is no argueing about the fact he was down and out."

This comment is an out-right lie.

Froch didn't beat him fair and square and everyone can argue that Groves wasn't down and out. Froch fought a dirty fight and ignore the referee a couple times to get some cheap shots in when called to break, and the only man who hit the canvas in that fight was Froch, and Groves was still attempting to fight back when the ref stepped in.

3 - "Did Groves hand James DeGale a rematch when they fought a few years ago in a close one? I didn't hear Groves going on about duty back then."

No, Groves did not hand DeGale a rematch, but has not ruled out ever rematching again because of his attitude as Froch seemingly has to Groves. In fact, Groves said after beating DeGale that he could see a rematch happening a couple of years down the line when he imagined them both on the world stage with world titles. Groves reason for not fighting DeGale was about moving above domestic level to bigger challenges whereas Froch's reason is because he's lying through his teeth to try to justify the gift he was given and seems to feel threatened by a fighter who clearly proved he was good enough to beat him.

4 -Yet I stopped a voluntary challenger and I'm supposed to hand him a rematch."

The issue is though Froch, you didn't stop a voluntary challenger, Groves was a mandatory and the ref jumped in far too early to gift you the win, and if you were half the man you claim to be you would not be trying so hard to ignore it and justify it, and would have demanded a rematch yourself to save your pride instead of going out of your way to argue that there is no justification for one.

5 -"I'm very reluctant to hand Groves a pay-day, especially when he behaves like an idiot all the time."

The payday argument is bull**** pure and simple. It's the biggest payday out there for either man - even a fight with Ward would not generate the same interest - so its not that Froch doesn't want to "hand Groves" a payday, its that he's saying money's not an issue and he wont be bribed into taking it.

As far as behaving as an idiot all the time goes, pot meet kettle.

6 -"I don't like him as he has absolutely no respect, no class and is a spoilt kid."

He could be talking about himself couldn't he?
