Carl Froch...Most avoided Fighter?? or Overhyped british prospect??

[abadger]

I have not seen a lot of Abraham, but what I have seen....well I don't like him a lot. He seems to just shell up loads and then explode with his power shots. I think Kessler would out work him to a UD. Abraham wouldn't be able to just catch Kessler with his shots like he has against the other guys I seen him fight, Kessler has a pretty good defense.

I more or less totally agree, though I've seen quite a lot of Abraham fights and if memory serves me correctly his showing in Miranda II was one of his more extreme "wait, wait EXPLODE" performances. He definitely has more to him than that, he'll both box and brawl with you if neccessary and he has quite nice Cotto-ish movement and knowledge of when to attack and when to back off.

Why didn't you post that on your normal account?

I've only seen his last couple of fights, and the first Miranda fight. As I said, I am not really impressed by him, He is a good fighter an all. I'm just not much of a fan tbh.

I think he deserves a chance at fighting one of the top guys, though I don't think he's anything exceptional. He has decent power but he's so wide open, someone with straight punches and a consistent jab will give him a lot of trouble. Someone like Mikkel Kessler would be too much.

It's premature to say anyone is ducking him because in all honesty, beating him wouldn't prove much because of his lack of big name opponents or American exposure. Similar to when Phillip N'Dou was beaten by Mayweather, no one knew who N'Dou was though he had a solid record so the win was brushed aside.

Froch should fight someone like Edison Miranda who the public knows as a breakout fight. Until then he's still anonymous.

does it matter

does it matter

Just wondering

That is not a good enough reason to avoid a fight for me. Was money an issue? Why would Taylor take that fight with Froch, is it for the title?

He and his promoter admit they are taking an easier fight against Lacy for more money. Dunno why people are acting like he's making megabucks against Lacy, it'll be more than Froch but not by that much.

The Froch fight would've been for the WBC Title.

I'm not trying to knock your info, but this doesn't make sense. Froch is unproven so why would you consider Taylor as taking an easier fight? Who is Froch fighting for the WBC title anyway?

And Lacy is proven? Getting the **** kicked out of him for 12 rounds by Calzaghe doesnt mean he's proven. He's been getting beaten up by nobodies in his recent fights scraping wins. Whereas Froch has been knocking nobodies out.

The point Im making is that Taylor and Di Bella admit Froch is a harder fight. Anyone who knows anything realises Froch is the harder fight. So I dont understand what you're asking.

Froch is probably gonna fight Jean Pascal for the WBC Title now.

That is a good point,

Really I think the Taylor camo are looking for an easy win, over a name oppenent. Lacy is known, he isn't that good but he has a name. And he is an easy win for Taylor, who needs a confidence boost coming off 2 losses. Getting into another tough fight after that isn't a good idea,

I think Taylor and Froch will fight, if they both win their next fights

Thats exactly what Im saying. They admit that.

So how can people say no one is avoiding Froch?
