Saying he lost to a shot, blind Kessler.. yes, he lost.. but many had him winning the fight and besides, Kessler was able and willing to give full intensity and non-stop action for twelve hard rounds. Yes, Kessler hasn't looked good since his fight with Calzaghe, but don't you guys think SOMETHING has to do with him stepping up in class? Froch beat Pascal (reigning LHW champion), Dirrell, arguably beat Kessler and knocked out a game Jermain Taylor on Taylors home turf. Tired of all the apologists and Bute nut swingers, Froch has a formidable record, deal with it.
People will miss him when hes retired.They will realise what a warrior he was in the ring when he was fighting
Finally, a breath of fresh air in this torrid anti-Froch environment. How can you not respect a warrior who gives 100% every time, and gives us excellent fights regularly. Americans are just pissed because he beat Dirrell. Good thread. RESPECT Froch!
This hate comes from the double standard posters. They hate ward so much that they say Kessler was shot, hurt or whatever to take credit away from ward's easy win over him. This in turn puts a bashing on froch who kessler was supposedly double visioned against and all that other mess. Froch is what he is. He's a SMW with Cruiserweight bone structure with durability, stanima and a stiff type of power. He lacks some sharpness in the ring but he fights alot smarter than people give him credit for.
It's always the same idiots who are anti-Froch, so I wouldn't take them too seriously. Anyone who has Froch's willingness to fight when in the ring, and willingness to take on any fighter out there, is good for the sport. I understand people thinking he's lost certain fights and has looked poor, but I can't understand how that frustration could turn into dislike for him. He's a warrior and it's a pleasure to have him in the mixing it up. If he wasn't around, the division would miss what he brings.
Agreed. His resume is excellent and a loss to Kessler is nothing to be ashamed of. A win over Abraham would surely make him top three in the division.
Fighter like froch always get stick , if he was from the US they would be making a movie about him . When your not from the states and fight like he does your called a bum . Typical ignarance. And this MichiganWarrior just doenst know boxing.
Froch is a warrior and a very likable fighter. He always come to fight and is always a pleasure to watch. Plus, his comments are very funny. Froch and Abraham are my favorite fighters from the Super Six. I hope one of those two wins.
Froch is a warrior and is great for boxing b/c he will fight anybody, just look at his resume. He is not likable though, all he does talk sh!t about other fighters and trys so hard to be a badass.
Well he's not the most gifted fighter but he's very exciting to watch and I appreciate him for that reason. Because of the fact he's not as naturally gifted as certain others at 168lbs, he probably deserves more credit for his wins than he actually gets.
That was odd He's a poster going through a meltdown though. He's been schooled that many times, it's like he's on edge all the time, throwing around petty insults. He can't hack ESB, so he's turned into this odd troll. The only thing which separates him from the morons who get ignored is a dictionary.
I'm totally in agreement with you about Froch. If we had more fighters like him boxing would be a lot more populair and exciting. But weren't you just the one bashing Bute in another thread? :think
