"After that fight, Carl Froch is a shot fighter and that means, in my game, you are finished," said the former featherweight world champion, speaking on the Hawksbee and Jacobs show. What I found amazing about George was, before that night, I never rated him. I was amazed to see everything he said he was going to do in the first round, he did. He reminded me of me, of what I used to tell opponents before the fight. He went out to put him on his back in the first round and he went and did that with an amazing shot. I rate Carl for coming through the whole of that and finding a way to win. Thats what champions do. But if there is a rematch, I honestly do believe that George will win it, convincingly. One of the first trainers I ever had use to say, there comes a time in a fighters life when one day they climb into a ring, whether they are a champion or not, and all of a sudden it is over, it is finished, and they should realise that. Carl is a lovely guy, he has got a lovely family and I love the fact he looked out the ropes at the end of the fight, looked at me in front of the whole crowd and said, I love you, but I can only tell the truth. He has had an amazing career, he has won some amazing fights, he has done what some people can only dream of in the sport of boxing. Instead of going on for that extra fight or whatever, why not do the smart thing and say you know what, like Sugar Ray Leonard said, I have had my day in the sun. Whether the whole nation would love to see the fight or not, I only wish he retires."
If you watch his interview after he made out like he knew froch was gonna win he is a has been who is guilty of ruining his own career. He has no reason to judge anyone else
Naz' prediction for Froch vs Groves wasn't too accurate so this doesn't mean much. It could be true though, Froch is at that age. We'll have to see how he looks in his next fight. That "I love you" stuff gets me every time.
Them's fighting words. Cobra vs. Prince this winter, make it happen. (or, can Prince even make 168 by then?)
Must be hard for Carl to hear, he models his style on Naz. Let's hope he doesn't copy his post-boxing lifestyle too much though.
Naz has sure changed his tune, straight after the fight he was saying how was the stoppage was totally correct, Froch was better, blah blah blah. Maybe he's sober now.
The guy is so up his own ar$e its unbelievable, his views on fights are skewed by the fact he's bang on the trumpet most of the time he's at them... Was an exciting fighter but when you look back at him in the cold light of day, he was actually just an ungrateful bellend with a bit of swagger in a weak division, that is until he was found out in a big way.
Naz is a tool, never rated Groves and thinks Froch is shot. A Shot fighter would not of taken 7 rounds of beating and come back the stronger in the later rounds to win. Pillock
