Anyone else read this in Boxing Monthly??

[-----------]

It was in " Class of 2008, End of year reports" Pg 29.

Bit about Carl Froch, It said that "Carl needs to address his smoking habits,"

"A young man with pretentions of being a world-class athlete certainly should not be smoking"

Never heard this before, does Froch actually smoke??

If so, world title is way out of the question.

i thought all british smoked.

[Addition]

Even if it's true, why would a world title be out of the question?

I believe it was in reference to him constantly saying "I'm going to smoke his boots"

Even if it's true, why would a world title be out of the question?

* Lung cancer. About 30,000 people in the UK die from lung cancer each year. More than 8 in 10 cases are directly related to smoking.

* Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). About 25,000 people in the UK die each year from this serious lung disease. More than 8 in 10 of these deaths are directly linked to smoking. People who die of COPD are usually quite unwell for several years before they die.

* Heart disease is the biggest killer illness in the UK. About 120,000 people in the UK die each year from heart disease. About 1 in 7 of these deaths are due to smoking.

* Other cancers - of the mouth, nose, throat, larynx, gullet (oesophagus), pancreas, bladder, cervix, blood (leukaemia), and kidney are all more common in smokers.

* Circulation. The chemicals in tobacco can damage the lining of the blood vessels and affect the level of lipids (fats) in the bloodstream. This increases the risk of atheroma forming (sometimes called 'hardening' of the arteries). Atheroma is the main cause of heart disease. It is also the main cause of strokes, peripheral vascular disease (poor circulation of the legs), and aneurysms (swollen arteries which can burst causing internal bleeding). All of these atheroma-related diseases are more common in smokers.

* Sexual problems. Smokers are more likely than non-smokers to become impotent or have difficulty in maintaining an erection in middle life. This is thought to be due to smoking-related damage of the the blood vessels to the penis.

* Ageing. Smokers tend to develop more 'lines' on their face at an earlier age than non-smokers. This often makes smokers look older than they really are.

* Other conditions where smoking often causes worse symptoms include: asthma, colds, flu, chest infections, tuberculosis, chronic rhinitis, diabetic retinopathy, hyperthyroidism, multiple sclerosis, optic neuritis, and Crohn's disease.

* Smoking increases the risk of developing various other conditions including: optic neuropathy, cataract, macular degeneration, ******genic fibrosing alveolitis, psoriasis, gum disease, tooth loss, osteoporosis and Raynaud's phenomenon.

Ah ****, forgot about him saying that.

He was always saying "I'm gonna smoke Calzaghe's boots"

****, that must have been a reference.


Ok, my bad.

No man it's impossible to do that

I wondered about this too. Does any one actually know if Carl Froch smokes.....as in cigarettes?

I know some other boxers smoke, but does any one actually know if he does?

[BattlingNelson]

Frazier smoked too you know. Hence the nickname Smokin' Joe.
