    Anyone else notice how Froch's comments get more and more delusional and self-serving? Supposedly he's a boxing commentator now. Probably the most biased I've ever seen:

    1. "GGG is not a P4P fighter, but Ward is" (GGG is the guy Froch ducked when he retired. Ward is the guy who dominated Froch. Froch trying to lift his own stock's value?)
    2. "Wlad was perhaps spooked by Fury's aggressiveness in the press conference" (and perhaps its just an injury. You know.. 39 year old fights do get injured from time to time)
    3. "Bute is not the same after I destroyed him" (again trying to lift his own stock while downplaying DeGale's)

    When you say "even more" it's a bit of a stretch, he's always been a deluded self promoter.
    I'm glad for him he didn't fight GGG, he is like Kryptonite to an iron chinned washing machine with arms and legs like froch. he'd look worse than Rosado did.
    After Ward beat him up with one hand has to i guess otherwise he looks foolish.
    Still thought i respect him for what he has done, took me years though he is so damn unlikeable.
    This may change if i hear him say the words:
    "in front of 80,000 people at wembley stadium" again though.

    He's lucky he has a homer like brain and can take so many clean hard shots otherwise he'd of never gone past being a journeyman

    He's always been arrogant, it's that arrogance and unbending self belief that allowed him to succeed when others would have faltered when struggling in a fight.

    Ok I agree with you there. But he would look so much better if he was a bit more diplomatic and gallant now that he's retired. He appears very bitter and still full of himself. Makes him look childish.

    Who cares about what Froch thinks. he's a ducking *****

    has there ever been a fighter who was scared into retirement by someone from a division below?

    at least Barrera and Vitali were in the same division when they scared Naseem and Lewis into retirement respectively

    Whoa, Leave Nas out of this, his god bubble got burst. different case entirely. if Nas made as much out of his talent as Froch well........it's obvious isn't it?

    Agreed, I've never liked his personality, he would have probably been more fan friendly early on if he had been more diplomatic and charming instead of coming off arrogant and bitter as he usually does.

    :rofl:rofl:rofl

    I just mean Nas was a very talented boxer who let himself down with laziness, arrogance etc. took his loss and bounced.

    Froch made the most of his ..talent and instead of being happy with it trashes far superior fighters than him and backs it up with the fact he decked george groves.......in front of 80,000 people......at wembley

    well, at least Nas had his soul eaten and ripped out from him in the ring, after stepping up to the challenge


    GGG ate Froch's soul without even getting in the ring :-(

    Considering how his views about Ward changed before and after the fight, I imagine he'd declare GGG #1 ATG if he had the cojones to fight him.

    It is sad when a clearly overly rabid fan allows their support for a fighter cloud their judgement and results in irrational statements based upon bias and a desire to build up a fighter when in Golovkin's case it really isn't necessary.
