Is Carl Froch a bum?

I think its a little too soon to be calling him a bum. He seems like a decent enough fighter and has great power but we still dont know what level he's on.

 

Croch is a decent boxer, but hes not up there with the likes of Kessler. If he wins, he wont hold the title for long in my opinion. Hes no Joe Calzaghe

 

:rasta Put that downnn

 

He wont get past Jean Pascal IMO

If he somehow manages to do so, then Taylor will have an easy fight

 

The fight I will be waiting for is Kessler vs Taylor.

 

he has 1 punch ko power and a chin but he is also very akward and with a good
reach and height

 

Hypejob

 

Taylor is f*cking dull as dishwater.

His 12 round borefest with Lacy was a disgrace.

Froch always brings excitment - i'd rather watch 20 of Froch's fights than 1 of Taylors.

 

It's Taylor's promoter who said that (a) they turned down the Froch fight to fight Lacy for more money and (b) they are interested in fighting Pascal if he wins, but not Froch.

But why would someone turn down a title shot to fight an elimator for the same title shot?

Clearly there's some bs involved from Di Bella but it's obvious that Froch is seen as far too much risk for too little reward by the Taylor camp. No doubt many of the ESB posters who see it as a reasonable approach would be screaming 'ducking' if the roles were reversed.

 

The Cobra has good relexes and has a good chin, He will be very hard to beat !!

 

:yep Taylor is to fast for Froch.

 

he is not a bum yet to find out how good he is. big punch and good chin. not great boxing skills. he is better than lacy.

 

I agree with what you say especially about the risk/reward factor involved when fighting Froch.If Taylor still doesn't fight Froch(if he gets by Pascal)for the WBC, when he fought Lacy in an eliminator,is he not ducking Froch?

 

Hes not a bum. Hes not awesome either, but theres a lot of middle ground between awesome and bum.

 

:huh

Of course not! He's a bronze medalist at the amateur world champs, so he's got very good skills. He's got a very good chin and very good power (how good we'll find out within the next year, year and a half, I hope), he's aggressive and strong willed and very confident. Such fighters always do very well in professional boxing. How well? We'll see!:good
