Froch got outboxed and dropped by shot Taylor. Froch got out boxed and hurt by Dirrell. Froch lost to shot Kessler. Now froch beats bum Abraham and 52 loss glen Johnson both non boxers and he's the greatest thing since sliced bread? His weakness have not been adressed and and he hasn't stopped a fighter since Taylor a fighter that even maliggnaggi himself could stop. Ward is the best pure boxer next to mayweather and froch is somehow suppose to beat him? All fighters from uk are frauds and overrated Hatton Haye Kahn Froch All a bunch of cocky, overconfident bums
Really, haye was a blown up Cruiserweight fighting a guy who is a future ATG and was much bigger in his own back yard. Hatton lost to the top P4P's of his era. No shame in that. Agree on Khan, although no one can doubt his talent, just needs to up his defense and inside game. And how anyone can critise Froch is beyond me, one of the few fighters who will fight anyone anywhere.
What I can't stand from those 4 is not their losses it's their overconfidence and constant padding themselves in the back, they reek of insecurity.
And Froch stopped Taylor, TKO12 Dirrell ran like a ****** all night and ruined the fight Froch lost to Kessler fair enough. I had Kessler by 2. But Kessler was sensational that night, in his home country and was fired up. How can you critise Froch when all he has done is fight the best in front of him in there home countries. Wish more boxers were like Froch Sure he has his flaws, lacks boxing skills and doesn't have the speed of Dirrell or Ward. But the guy has amazing heart, an incredible chin and will fight anyone. He is a fighter more than a boxer. You should appreciate what he brings to the game
Ward will dominate tonight. No doubt about it. He will be too fast and too slick for Froch. 8-4 UD or it might even be 9-3.
Thats fair enough mate, most of that is to do with the British media always biggin up there fighters. But you will find the best fighters always carry that over confidence which border lines cockiness Tyson, Roy Jones Jr, Lewis, Mayweather etc etc
I found this post not an interesting take on British boxing, nor an insight into tonights fight. Its more a look into the mind of an uncertain fan who deep down knows exactly who his favourite is in against tonight. No-one knows Carl Froch more than the man himself, certainly not you. He's an extremely focused, mentally strong individual. He may or may not win tonight, but one thing's for sure, no-one's getting outclassed.
I agree his in ring qualities are admirable but they over do it outside of it Kahn for example was getting annoying talking about mayweather every other day. Froch constantly talks about himself like he's already great.
But thats his mindset. He is 100% mentally strong and you'll never hear him say anyone would beat him. Thats how he wins his fights. His heart and mind are at 100% and he truly beleives he can beat anyone. And you have to admire that
