Going to be the first British world champion who is olympic gold medalist, why is Froch scared to take the fight
Simple, he wants to fight in Vegas before his careers comes to a close, he hasn't fought there as a professional.
Froch doesn't have many fights left in him, and I think he's earned the right to pick a big swansong in Vegas if he can get it. Young Chunky, whatever his qualities, doesn't bring that kind of cachet to the table, so it's not realistic to expect him to be at the front of the queue. Ducking doesn't come into it - DeGale just needs to wait his turn, and Froch might run out of fights before his turn comes.
Exactly he has fought Kessler, Taylor, Abrahams, Ward, pascal & groves yet he he ducking chunky atschatsch do me a favour
I'm a huge Froch fan, followed his career since I started watching boxing back when his fights were on late at night on the BBC but I've said it from since this fight was muted De Gale is all wrong for Froch, I think DeGale at this stage of Frochs career beats him, Southpaw, slick, skilled, fast hands and he has an Iron chin... I'll say it again, DeGale is all wrg for Froch I see no reason for Carl to fight him At this stage
I also think Hearn knows it and would be happy to get the fight to go ahead so Matchroom can hold onto that IBF SMW strap
Yeah all wrong when he is backing up against the ropes with his hands down near his di@k - froch would murder him.
Ha I knew someone would bring up the lazyness against the ropes! U seriously think someone who has the skills to win a world title at one of the most competing weights in the world away from home would do the same in a fight against Froch? Any fight he's done that he's been cruising Let's face Carl was never in the driving seat when he faught Groves at any stage and if he hadent have hit him with that shot it was going to the wire no reason why the DeGale fight would b any different
Froch had centre of ring in second fight, controlled pace of fight and was ahead before he knocked winger out cold
But he did land it, he might have landed it any of the next 4 too, or just worn Groves down again. You can't say it was going to go to the wire with any certainty. He won fair and square and was never in trouble.
He was beginning to struggle b4 landing that shot, he was also buzzed in the round b4 he landed that shot, that shot was the best shot he's ever landed in his career, He's nvr been known as a one punch ko specialist he landed that shot right on the money so it's fair to speculate that without that shot it was going to be close in the final rounds just like it was close for the first 8 I travelled from Belfast to Wembley to support Froch so I am no Groves fan but I am unbiased when it comes to breaking down a fight So ru just suppose to dispell everything that happened in that fight because he landed the greatest shot of his career? I don't think so, he struggled from the first round of the first fight until the final right hand of the 2nd losing 75% of the rounds
:deal Use of the word ducking in a thread title gains you an instant 'upgrade' to the general. It's awesome there. :hi:
