    He brain must be bubbled wrapped or something. His ability to take flush punches is not human.

    Where would he be today without punch resistance?

    Ive not been on here for months but for anyone to suggest Robert isnt a class coach needs there head seen too.
    Froch has had a magnificent career won many world title fights ask him how good Robert is, also ask the lads that just won gold medals and have secured there futures ask them who was instrumental in getting them there.

    Surely those things can be taught and improved in a fighter.
    Floyd also has amazing punch technique and accuracy. Can also stick to a game plan and has the best footwork. Taught
    Joes punch output was down to his trainer.
    Khan also has decent punch technique. poor defence so he changed trainers. Has it worked yet? I'm not so sure.
    The point I'm trying to make is, froch skills are nowhere near up there with his level of punch resistance and heart.
    Take those two big factors away and he has a **** load of KO losses on his record and no belts

    Answer this truthfully. How far would froch be today without his chin and heart? Does rob McCracken deserve credit for this?
    I'm talking world level trainers here

    But you cant take them away from his make up he has a great chin and desire, something you cant train into a fighter they eithier have it or they dont and Carl has plenty which has seen him through fights

    Lol funnily enough I was thinking the exact same thing today. Either terrible trainer or terrible student.
