Froch: "I come from a very tough background!"

we are suppose to believe that he is not just a palooka in the ring....but he got a hard knock life story behind it...

now he says this.... the real carl is from the streets... buy it..

 

Nottingham used to have the highest murder rate relative to population size in the country.

I can't see the video coz im at work, but you guys strike me as the sort of tards that think a guy has to talk like he's off the Wire and bowl round in clothes 20 sizes too big to be considered tough.

 

Not as tough as having a strict Dad or riding the motorcycle he gave you..

 

I doubt his background is as tough as he makes out compared to some of the other kids living in Nottingham. But to all you fellas that seem to think notts is a lovely place to live compared to Detroit etc. You'd be much mistaken. It's well documented that this place has a serious drug and gun crime problem and it's taken over from London in that respect. Some boroughs of nottingham are real **** holes like st annes or the meadows where people have been getting murdered for petty gang fallouts, I can't stand the inner city for these very reasons, not the best place to grow up.

 

Wow you Americans are so hard!!! I think you will find that Scotland has the highest murder rate of any developed country. Does that make all Scots hard as nails?

Nothing more embarassing than people boasting about how hard their area is.:verysad

 

we actually think that toughness comes from adversity not privilege:good

 

What makes the Scotts tough as nails is they kicked your arses out of Scottland

 

we heard it since we were kids Robin Hood and the evil Sheriff of Nottingham

 

miranda/froch....what a hate filled gatti/ward it would almost be.

i feel that edison will be bute's toughest test to date....and has a great chance of taking it from someone who really hasn't impressed me in a character in lucian bute..... i think bute is pretty good for what i have seen.... and miranda is more battle tested. i'M NOT A HARDCORE FAN OF EITHER.

The winner of this bout will certainly gain my respect.... I won't be on the candian express....at some point you need to get out of your forcefield land.

mirand vs bute will be a determining factor. ... Bute has fans here that know much about him...what time he takes a **** and everything..

the winner of the super six will probably face ab hbo fighter on hbo...or hbo ppv...

i rather pavlik bute...and the winner of them two face the champ of the super 6..... if not a double header... of the best two of the super 6 fighting bute and pav. ...anything of that sort is good stuff

 

I am pulling for Miranda as he is one of my favorites...loved his destruction of green

 

I am Scottish/British. However, I dont go about boasting about how deprived my uprbringing was or how many folk I've seen being stabbed like its some kind of badge of honor, like some of the clowns on this thread.

Everywhere you go in the world people like to think where they stay is unique and hard as nails, in the hope it reflects on them and people think they are also hard as a product of their environment, it's embarassing.

 

Just noticed you are from Queen's

Whatever Froch's background may be he sure fights like a tough as nails warrior in the ring so he must have some kind of inner strength wherever he came from.

 

Yeah you're right, Froch is soft as shite really isn't heatsch

Andre 'The Crying Game' Dirrell was a true warrior.

 

This is the kind of silly thinking that annoys me. If you haven't grown up in both places you cannot talk about what its like to be a child in either place. And even if you grew up in both places, if you did not go to through the same experiences it doesnt matter which country you grow up in. The point is that tough individuals share the same sort of experiences growing up.

Froch, Abraham, Tyson, all had similar or in some cases the same exact obstacles. Crappy education, bullying, surrounded by violence and gangs, and a justice system set up to take them down. In these types of environments only the toughest survive and become successful while the rest end up dead or in prison. A lot of Americans have faced the same sort of odds that Abraham faced or worse(think of New Orleans), or Froch, in fact Abraham's odds in Europe weren't so bad because the USA actually has the highest rate of incarceration and the largest prison population so you could say the risks are different in Abrahams backround but you cannot say Abrahams backround has more risk.

To objectively measure risk you have to first find the success rate for children who grow up in that neighborhood. If the success rate is ridiculously low then the individuals who manage to make it in that specific neighborhood have to be very tough. On the other hand you have some neighborhoods where success is expected and there are no obstacles at all and I'm guessing you are from one of these neighborhoods because you don't understand that risk is about the neighborhood you are born in and not the country. The USA is one of the safest and most dangerous places in the world depending on which neighborhood you grow up in.
