    He was fighting for Hennessy before he had a tv deal. He was never going to get the attention he deserved

    That doesn't even make sense.

    "Is carl Froch a warrior because he fought a load of tough fights what HE SIGNED UP FOR"

    I think he would, yes. No evidence to suggest otherwise.

    He wanted to fight Joe for years, he has travelled to fight the best around, and clearly wants to rematch Kessler and Ward.

    Yes, the fact that he's well paid for those fights doesn't alter anything.

    It's not as if he's been on minimum wage and then someone has said ''we'll offer you £1m to fight X''

    Like Peter McNeeley for instance. Or Julius Francis.

    To be fair the fight was offered to Kessler, Oousthuzien and Pavlik but none wanted it.

    His classic encounters with Pascal and Kessler prove he is a warrior, regardless of where they were fought. Also his comeback last second KO of Taylor defending his title away showed hsi Warriors heart

    He's had his poor performances as well, like Dirrell but everyone has his poor days

    Why continue to take tough fights while out of the Super 6 if it was simply money.

    Froch has fought the very best at every level. Even on the British scene he fought em all and cleaned up.

    Just read wazza's s*n column (not on their website, just on the FW website) and it's quite ironic how his comments (which are extremly out of order, considering froch outshines anything any of his fighters have done) are followed by a snippet about cleverly. Now Wazza bangs on about how abraham and taylor were long in the tooth middelweights. Shall we make a comparison of those two, who were genuine world champion versus cleverly last fights v hawk, kapency and bellew, who all, with the greatest of respect could not at this moment in time hold a candle to the likes of taylor and abraham.
    I think that it is highly disrespectful to a current, legit world champ. He must be soooo bitter that he never got a bite of froch when he left hennesy. Wazza does a lot of good things for boxing, but doesn't half let himself down with some of the bull **** he comes out with in his column.
