This is a great interview from last month. Sorry if it was already posted, the search facility round here is next to useless so it may have been. I was just in the mood to spread some Cobra love :boxing:
i think its good that froch has some respect for kessler beacause he can punch and carl cant get sloppy. at the same time i hope he doesnt have too much respect, he needs to know that they arent evenly matched. froch is better and he need to go in there and put it on him, be vary of the big shot but put it on him none the less.
He has never depended much on speed or reflexes, he depends on his chin, stamin, reach, power and will so hopefully he can be at the top a few more years. He talked about retirement if he loses to Kessler... I hope he wins and have a few more fights, maybe 4-5. He could take on the winner of Bute and pascal if they want to step up. Maybe fight Dawson or Hopkins at a catchweight.
He says he's more likely to move the other way in weight.

Only so long till this stamina, timing, resistance all decline. He may not rely on reflexes and such but it's only so long until he'll no longer be able to pull the trigger. Froch is already slow as it is, once he get's that one step slower and less sharp he'll be in trouble.
I'd rather him fight others than rematchs but as long as he keeps fighting top fighters you can't complain.
It's a shame Froch is 35 and it won't be long before we start seeing a decline.
He's a young 35, he started his career late and stays in shape year round but still, it's only so long before you decline and the war's he's been in don't help.
He's overachieved beyond belief already but it's a shame he won't have more to give.
If he beats Kessler, he's booked his place in the HOF in my book.

If everyone was in the sport was like him we'd get the best match ups all the time. After the Kessler fight I'd like to see him fight Golovkin or Hopkins. I can't see him winning a Ward rematch at all
you never know lol. If Froch looks great in this fight he might want a shot at Ward and I think he could be able to challenge him more this time. No matter what this will be agreat fight unless he gets brutally ko'ed, that would be sad for everyone lol even kessler would be disappointed

We're watching a legend here and we dont even know it.
Froch is up there with Marquez, Hopkins and Floyd, as one of the best of this generation. still a far cry from Calzaghe but he's coming.
:lol1::lol1::lol1:
Against all odds, this man has become my favorite fighter.
I second that, gives it everything every time he steps in the ring and is honest as the day is long. No self respecting boxing fan could dislike this guy, he is a fighters fighter.

so calzaghe is behind hopkins, floyd, marquez
thats good because ward is gonna take all his titles anyway
I'm not sure he'll fight Ward again. As a fan I'd rather see him fight the likes of Martinez, Golovkin, Hopkins, Chavez Jr and a Kessler trilogy.
