    Dont really know what Froch's beef is to be honest.

    What does he expect Khan and his promoters to do after he got brutally KO'd in 1 round in a main fight on PPV?? They are hardly going to put him in fights against huge punchers straight away!

    Taking on Barrera in his second fight and then fighting for a world title in his 3rd fight (and winning) isnt bad going in my opinion.

    Every fighter in world boxing is protected, to a point. It's called building up a fanbase and getting pro boxing experience before mixing it with a higher class of opponent. To be fair, Warren probably does protect his fighters more than other promoters, but I dont think Warren can still be accused of putting Khan up against journeymen opposition.

    Khan has gone back to the drawing board and Roach has helped him develop his boxing to suit his strengths. It's working, so what is wrong with that?

    I dont think Froch is in any position to start slagging off other British fighters to be honest. After 23 pro fights, Frochs biggest had been against a shot Robin Reid. The other 22 were nobodies.

    It's true.

    I've lost count of how many ridiculous fights Froch was involved in before he fought Pascal. Froch will blame that on the fact that fighters were avoiding him, he has a point. I'd also take a look at his resume and say the first 23 fights were filled with mostly poor opponents. Was that not a case of his promoter protecting his fighter and building up his record?

    Whichever way you look at it, Khan became a world champion in fewer fights than Froch did and that included a 1st round KO loss. I'm not knocking Froch, he's a good fighter who gives it his all, but It's hard to take him seriously when he starts slagging Khan off (after openly admitting to not even watching his last fight) as a boring fighter and it was no great feat winning a world title in his first bout at light welterweight!?

    Froch talks far too much bulls*it. He's not a well liked character and thats why the UK public will never be fully behind him.

    froch is a goon,his biggest win,is against a career middleweight who dominated him for 11 rounds before gassing.

    No sacrifice is worth 3 extra years in a geriatric home.

    which would undoubtedly be the consequences if one were to undertake an endeavour as to educate a simpleton such as yourself...

    simply put the sacrifice just outways the reward,and will no doubt be utterly futile.

    stick your head in the originality bucket before thinking next time you "goon".

    To an extent that's true, but it still doesn't stop Froch from having a big nose.

    It's true, but it's not a bad thing to a point and all promoters do it.

    I think Warren is the kind of guy you want as a young up-and-comer and to get yourself to world title level. Excellent for that. Once there, time to move on or you'll be wasting many years fighting also-rans and faded talent, and missing the biggest fights.

    It is true. Warren often takes risks when he knows his fighters will walk if he doesn't deliver i.e. Calzaghe v Lacy and Kessler, then Hatton v Tszyu. Even then his fighters leave for a reason. Warren thinks business not boxing.

    is there a difference between the 2 nowadays?

    this issue is not just a warren thing,its promoters worldwide.
