Not sure how many of these threads have been made but I thought I could make it so we can give this man some props.
The dude is charismatic, has balls and knows how to fight. Sure, he's no Sweet Pea but he can give anyone hell just with his sheer grit and determination (although, his boxing ability is underrated).
oh, and his smack talking is hilarious, it isn't the same regurgitated garbage again and again, he knows how to fool around with his opponents (in a good way, though, nothing crass or too extreme).
YOU THE MAN!

Whatever happens in the final The Cobra is what made the Super Six. He took the hard fights, on the road and he's got better as the tournament progressed.
WWAARRR FFRRROOOOCCCCHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
dude is straight G. I hope he pounds out Ward badly, outside of kessler ward has had cupcakes in the tournament. his whole son of god act is getting really oldvery quickly. the cobra has been and will finally be crowned king of 168lb
Froch has got about as much charisma and personality as a cardboard box. Boxing wise however, he is a beast with a huge heart and strong deterimination, i respect him for that. I Don't like the way he complains and moans about everything ranging from the success of other boxing ahead of him to not getting enough exposure when it was his own doing. Appreciate him as a fighter, Would i place him next to Hatton, Hamed or Lennox Lewis? Certainly not. Oh and he will lose to ward.
In what way do you think his lack of exposure was down to him?
Carl Froch is good for boxing.
Every fight he has had, has been great entertainment, and when he isn't inside the ring he's really funny, I remember one it was like:
"His birth certificate is an apology from the condom factory"
Almost poetry from the cobra.
If boxing put more money in Froch he would've proppeled the sport upwards! He's such a great fighter and every time he speaks, he's cracks me.
The way he fights is just something for the masses, always fighting back no matter what, constantly believing in himself. Like when Taylor put him down, the way he came back and fought even stronger was just one of the foundations of why I love boxing.
I remember when he came through the ranks knocking out Taylor, everyone was thinking, that he would be long forgotten after a couple of years and when he ventured into the pits of 168 he would be outskilled by at least 3-4 guys. Now in the finals still going stronger than ever. This matchup for me is as big as Pacquaio - Mayweather, this is my favourite divsion and Froch is definitely one of the main reasons for that.
Without him boxing would be great bit more cloudy for me at least.
Everything's stacked in Ward's favour, he's the better boxer, unbeaten, skillful, fast but I just want to se Froch win. He's more crude but fun to watch and tough as nails.

Frochs one of those dudes that I didnt think much of when I first saw him(thought he would be another joe calzaghe ) but dude earned my respect. Dudes got balls and will take on all comers .
Carl Froch is very underrated, not just in the boxing world but by his own people here in the UK (bar Nottingham where he's from). It's a bit of a disgrace to be honest.
Froch has had one of the toughest runs in boxing. After he beat Pascal, his 1st defence was to go over to America & fight Taylor. How many champions do that? His run; Pascal, Taylor, Dirrell, Kessler, Abraham, Johnson & now Ward. Not many fighters have had a tough run like that without sandwiching in a "easy" fight between them.
He's got balls, willing to fight anyone; anywhere. He might not be the best technically but his boxing ability is underrated.
Class act all the way; really hope he wins the Super Six & gets the credit he deserves.
WAR FROCH
Well said!!

WAR FROCH
i like Ward's ability, maybe he'll grow on me over the years but i'm not a fan
i'm a full blown frochy fan though, dude's legit
the ward fight is going to be tough, i'm pulling for my boy carl!!!!
WAR CARL!!!!
Yeah Froch is a great fighter, proved himself, always puts forth a great effort.
Will be a good fight, looking forward to it.
May the best clincher win :p
Actually think he will be able to avoid the clinching fest with movement.
Rooting for Froch. :D
Its nice to see froch gets his respect finally! Even if ward wins there is still great fights left for froch! Kessler rematch! Fight against bute! and then a move up to light heavyweight where he could fight cleverly
If he wasn't fighting Ward, or if Ward was not in his weightclass, he'd be my favorite at 168. I like him, I respect him & I wish him the best, but I'm going for Ward. May the best man win!!
