Froch has always got alot of hate from fans despite being arguably the most exciting fighter in the last 20 years.
Sign here if you are a fn of froch, when you first became a fan and why?
So a boxer isn't allowed to have an opinion on another boxer unless they are in the same weight class?
You know well it has more to do than just having an opinion. I didn't mind at first because I understood Froch had to struggle to get his props, while Khan being an Olympic medalist had been afforded opportunities, but as of late it looks petty on Froch.
Bashing a guy you can't possibly ever get in the ring with is real great.

A lot of people don't understand that Froch genuinely went in the harm's way to get his respect. It is quite surreal if you look back at it. That Taylor fight was something else.
For me the thing that annoys me are the Khan bashing cuz he can never fight him along with not shutting up about Calzaghe because Joe didn't had to fight him and especially now with Degale it is looking silly on him. I don't think he is ducking James, but it is the same as him calling out Joe even after he retired.
I get the Khan fans having some issues with his comments. There are quite a few though who struggle to separate his career from comments made outside the ring which is just silly.
I don't get the DeGale thing. To me George Groves was his Calzaghe-Froch situation: a British rival currently only at European level (beating DeGale in the process) that he didn't feel was a deserving opponent or even a big fight, but he fought and beat him (twice) anyway. I don't see why he should have to do it again when he's looking at one final fight before retirement.
You'd be surprised, quite a few on here don't like Froch. I've seen people (in a serious manner) call him everything from 'awful', 'unskilled' and the funniest of all, a 'ducker'.
Freedom in particular hates Froch ever since he massacred his guy Bute, according him he's a 'PED cheat' :lol1:
I've seen Froch being called many things but a ped cheat isn't one of them. Outstanding :lol1:
There's a few, mainly GGG/Ward/Khan nuthuggers.

''Froch has always got a lot of hate from fans''

You what?
Froch has been by far one of the most respected boxers on here for ages now.
Every fighter gets hated on, Mayweather and Ward are bums according to a lot on here so of course Froch has probably had a bit of hate but all in all Froch is probably the most respected boxer around.
Yeah he might have got a bit of stick for being a bit of a cunt outside the ring with his personality but who gives a fuck about that?
Only thing that matters is how he is inside the ring.
And you don't need me to tell you how he is there.
I genuinely cannot think of one poster on here who dislikes Froch.
Is there a single one?

I have long defended Carl Froch and contested allegations that he is a knob, but I watched ten minutes of that ITV documentary tonight.
Never again.
Same, love the guy as a fighter. Determination personified.
But I avoided that documentary because as a person the guy is a pr*ck
I don't see as a boxing fan how someone couldn't like Carl. Gives it his all every time out, very good resume. The only knock is that he's not the best super middleweight of his time. He's still a great fighter though.
I became a fan long before Calzaghe retired and always thought Froch could give Calzaghe all he could handle. I think Froch might not be the fastest boxer out there but is pretty effective at what he does. He has fought so many top fighters and didnt wait for people to be in the old people's home before facing them.
The guy has achieved huge success with relatively limited skills - and ducked nobody.
That's why i like him. He's not the most talented fighter in the world, but makes up for it with pure grit & an unshakeable self-belief. The amount of times fans (myself included) wrote him off and he came back to prove us all wrong is incredible.
When i first joined boxingscene in 08, Carl Froch was a laughing stock on NSB, now he's one of the most respected boxers on here.
Over the years I have had mixed opinions about Froch.
However,
He has backed up every stupid thing he has said outside the ring inside the ropes.
Yes, he is not articulate or even that charismatic but he is a true warrior and nobody can take that from him.

People who hate on Froch (as a boxer) DKSAB.
Top 5 British fighter of all times.
Great fighter, great man.
Known him since he was a shy beginner who lacked confidence. Was ringside for his fights with Dudson and Reid, as well as press row for Kessler I.
Not a bad word to say about that man. He's a sure thing for the hall of fame too.
