Is Carl Froch the most unpopular/disliked fighter with the UK fans?

Not so sure about most hated, he's not as well known in the UK as Hatton, Haye, Khan ect by casual Boxing fans. Think thats just down to the fact that hes not in the media as much. Iv got a mate who a big fan of Haye, and was a big fan of Calzaghe but says he hates Froch as hes to cocky. Iv told him i cant see where he is coming from, Froch is confident no doubt and that comes across in his interviews, but is he any more cocky/confident than the likes of Haye / Calzaghe, id say no. Im a big fan of Froch, hes a limited fighter in term of skill, but hes a tough fella with a big heart. He will fight anyone, hes already beat some good names and is 2 next fights hes got lined up are against good fighters. Say what you lke about him, but you cant say he ducks people, unlike alot of the big name fighters out there at the minute.

After the abuse he gave calzaghe when he was still fighting, , do you think he goes down as the most unpopular/disliked UK world champion? P.s. i think hes getting outboxed by Kessler Are you kidding the first thing yopu post here is the reason I dont hate him, anyone that slags off that fraud ducking twat Calzaghe is a friend of mine. And to your second comment.....what outboxed like Calzaghe was :bryce:

Joe Calzaghe needs to come out of retirement and destroy this bum name Carl Froch so he can keep your name out of his mouth. Froch will never be like Calzaghe he needs to get over it

People criticize Froch for his lack of skills, but he's brave and comes to fight, I like watching his fights. Let's face it, for someone with such limited technical ability, he's got a pretty good resume! Yea, sometimes its the intangibles that can make the difference as well not always the athletic and technical ability.

Yeah, Khan should leave the Taliban or at least not go on any more campaigns with them.

Khan is the most disliked UK fighter. Mostly because of the Taliban.

Sorry I meant Froch Abraham TBH i see Froch getting hurt in that one, wouldnt be at all suprised to see him get KTFO, if he did pull it off i would be very impressed. I think all the euros are gonna have trouble with ward and especially dirrell.

I like Froch and he is my favorite fighter in the tournament right now hands down. Say what you want about his lack of technical ability. But the only reason he looked kind of dirty in the Dirrell fight is because Dirrell constantly clinched in that fight and did some dirty things himself too. When you put him in front of an offensive-minded fighter you are gonna get fireworks. If he was a piece of crap like people make him out to be on here he wouldn't have beaten Pascal. To me, every fighter in the tournament besides him have a lame, watered down style of fighting. Rather if there style is to hold, run and pot shot, head butt, complain about borderline body shots like Abraham does and don't throw any punches. And Kessler to me is boring too because his style is so robotic and he moves in straight lines with no complicated awkwardness to him and he's a mental weakling. I think Froch is gonna beat both Abraham and Kessler. I think he'll lose to Ward though unfortunately.

Thanks for posting this. What about Kessler Froch, how do you see that playing out? Thats what fight im talking about Froch - Kessler

Out of the UK boxers, he is not the most unpopular, but not the most popular at the moment. David Haye is the most popular at the moment, until Ricky Hatton has another fight again. Saying that, if Ricky was to fight another top 10 p4p fighter in Manchester, he'd probably lose, retire and leave the british boxing legacy to Haye. As for Froch, he needs to win the super six for people to stand up and take notice of him, which I hope he does.

after the kessler fight we will know how good froch really is, i dont criticize him anymore that he looked like shit against dirrell, abraham looked worse. dirrells style is the most awkward i have ever seen.

I stand corrected, I hope Froch can pull it off, how do you see the fight playing out? Froch seems to like to box in early the rounds for some reason, i expect him to do this again, so I see Kess picking him off in the early rounds, then it seems like in all Froch fights he starts to put on the pressure, and honestly and dont know how Kess will react to this, i think he likes to box at his own pace so the high intensity in the late rounds will win Carl rounds and I can see it going to the cards, possibly a SD to someone if I was pushed I'd lean towards Kess with it being in denmark as it seems all the home fighters won so far, but it could go either way, but i do think it will go the distance.

I hate him, not just his personality but his fighting style. It's sloppy, slow and he didn't deserve the decision against Dirrell. Calzaghe would have boxed circles around him, Froch wouldn't have won a round. I think personally he will lose every fight in the super 6 (HE LOST THE DIRRELL FIGHT!)

After the abuse he gave calzaghe when he was still fighting, and the fact Froch is a complete c*nt , do you think he goes down as the most unpopular/disliked UK world champion? The man has such a tiny following he cant get a TV deal to show his fights, he has to resort to his own website streaming. And id be suprised if he got ov er a thousand buys! I know Amir Khan is hated by a fair amount of the UK, mainly white racist trash, but he does have a big following still. So what do you thin? Is he the least popular/most disliked UK World Champion? P.s. i think hes getting outboxed by Kessler no he aint hated...if anything hes loved by U.K. fans...i dont particularly like him but i respect him for having a good chin and all and keep on fighting

I like the Cobra his fights are exciting.

My mistake, you are completely right. How do you see the Kessler fight playing out? At the moment i've got two outcomes which i can't narrow to one. 1. Kessler UD. Depending how much the Ward loss has him mentally, if Kessler sticks to his fundamentals, he should be able to beat Froch at home, unanimously. Froch will bring pressure, and Kessler will be the man backing up....he wouldn't want to go toe to toe, but perhaps this is the fight where Kessler see's he has nothing to lose and will go all out? There will be a knockdown or two on the way, i can see reasons for both men getting dropped. 2. Froch stoppage. I don't see Froch knocking Kessler out to win, but maybe through sheer punishment/cuts, Froch's only way i see him winning in Herning is by stopping the Dane. This outcome will only happen, if Kessler decides to trade in my opinion.

Win or lose in the tourny, Froch's resume will look like this. Pascal Taylor Dirrell Kessler Abraham Add Ward and possible Dirrell 2, if he progresses to the next stage. Is a pretty impressive list, all back to back aswell, kinda puts joes resume to shame, he may lose one or two along the way but thats bound to happen when you constantly compete against the best, still gets my respect.

People who hate Froch are not fans of boxing.....they are fans of 'boxers'. The hate usually stems from jealousy. Froch would fight anyone. There isn't many like him. I usually prefer 'boxers', but i can also appreciate what Froch brings to the game.
