Household Name?

he wont be, but hey it will be great while it lasts!

 

He doesn't have Calzaghe's skills.

He doesn't have Haye's looks, one punch KO power at the highest level or HW advantage (Joe Public still loves the big fella's :deal).

He doesn't have Hatton's "one of the boys" personality that acts as a magnet for the football fans.


He could still make himself a few quid, but I don't think he'll be big-time household name stuff.

 

I second that.

 

He talks the talk

he does good job in the ring

undefeated

He has made it into the metro a few times aswell, Calzaghe's bull****, is doing good to make froch more famous

Froch just needs to beat up a bigger name, taylor

 

Agree with much of what's been said but think he's actually in quite a competetive division. plus if his name becomes too well known, who knows who'll pile on / lose the pounds if the money's right. Talking of which, does Floyd Jr not fancy him in a tune-up contest before he faces Pacman? Bit of a silly comment but who knows...

 

Calzaghe became an household name when he became 25 and only just before the sports personality win.

Hatton is well liked by talk show hosts ect but his fame has only been recent.

David Haye who? Guy who can not fill arena's and who is not known to anyone but real boxing fans. Most people could not pick him out of a line up.

 

Amir Khan, Ricky Hatton, Joe Calzaghe....

Are the active household names..

David Haye..Carl Froch are on there way. With David Haye slightly ahead...

 

Why not ?

regarded by few as the p4p king

 

He gets hit too much it really is as simple as that. It lends for a fantastic fights but fighters with that style rarely stay champion for long. Pascal although talented was a big question mark going into the Froch fight and Carl himself was a question mark himself. When a question mark fights a question mark what comes out at the end...another bloody question mark.

We dont really know how good Pascal is so we still dont really know how good Froch is, but going from what I saw I think a better boxer like a Kessler or a Bute would give Froch troubles. Taylor also has all the fundementals to beat Carl Froch, but again how good a suoer middleweight Jermain Taylor is, is still a question mark...:think

 

His technical boxing ability has nothing to do with him becoming a household name. It's all about exposure to the masses and as of now that means terrestrial telly. If he stays with ITV he will become a household name. Like some others have already said I've had a couple dozen colleagues mention to me that the fight last weekend was good, some of them were women and none were boxing fans.
