    I can see this guy being picked as the underdog in numerous fights but somehow pulling it off in the end. He just has one of those styles. Pure heart.

    I'm now a fan of this guy. He is willing to go to Siberia to fight if he knows that a quality boxer is out there. Let us hope he makes more high profile fights in North America so I can see more of him though!

    Froch was the underdog in one recent fight only, against Taylor. He was largely favourite to win against Pascal. Your premise is wrong.

    Correct, although he's a very dangerous fighter to bet money against(and avatars!!):hey

    It was also nearly even money against Taylor with some sportsbooks. On the forums there was a fair bit of support for Froch, and not just excited Brits, the only people that said Froch would be punished were idiots who had minimal knowledge of Froch and Taylor's recent performances.

    If Froch faces Kessler or Bute, I'll have the same bet but I won't lose that time. ;)

    I was talking about in the future. Now that he has a top name on his resume, it will open the door to more big fights such as Kessler, Pavlik, Bute, Abraham, Miranda, etc. and I think he would still be labeled as an underdog against all those guys

    Froch has balls the size of churchbells.
