Carl Froch The Next Big British Star?

[Stallone60]

There have been some great Super middleweight's to come out of britain! Benn, Eubank, Watson, Collins and the best of them all Joe Calzaghe. Most of these men became world champions and great to watch. Carl Froch? Most ppl have probably not even heard of him. He is undefeated in 23 fights and has 19wins by KO. Impressive? He hasnt really been tested yet he has a good win against an old Former World Champion Robin Reid. But the question is how far can he go? He has a WBC World title shot against Pascal. I believe he is the strongest the division of the Super middleweights have. Lacy, Taylor, Dennis Inkin who rejected 2 fight with him and Karoly Balzsay wouldnt be srong enough against him. The best fight he could get is Kessler that would be a test for him. But the Ultimate would be Calzaghe. I think Calzaghe would beat him but i think he is the only one that could. What do you think?

[hammerhiem]

No, he's way short of elite level.

[Hitman932]

If he cannot beat Pascal then he will be nothing more than a domestic fighter for the rest of his career. Pascal is a fake.

[VY CMa]

Plus he's nearly 32.

[The_Visitation]

No, he's way short of elite level.

And how can you tell that from a 23(19)-0 record? As yet, we don't know how good he is. And I for one think he is as as good as the SMWs who have consistently ducked him seemed to think. But he needs to beat Pascal well, certainly, and move up to bigger fights... then we might find out.

[BattlingNelson]

The jury is still out on Froch and will likely still be even if he beats Pascal since Pascal himself is untested.

Only time will tell but I don't think he'll be as big a star as Calzaghe, Hatton, Lewis etc... I think Kessler would take him and I think Jermain Taylor would get a UD over him! I could be wrong though and he may emerge as a big star but I can't see it. He is a good fighter though. I think he'll beat Pascal and I'm sure the mandatory for the WBC Super Middleweight title is Jermain Taylor so then we'll see what Froch is made of!

We will see!! I think he could take Kessler but that would be a good fight. But Taylor i think that would be an impressive win for Froch. He's ducked froch before so i think there could be fear in taylors eyes that he cant beat Froch. Would Love to see that fight. As for a great fighter he wont be as great as Calzaghe but he has a shot of being a top guy.

[Dynamite Kid]

Froch has an awful defence but upto now he had gotten away with it because of the low calibre of oponents he has faced Robin Reid was an old man by the time he fought Froch

Froch will get my respect if he can defeat Taylor or Kessler! I think Taylor didn't want to fight him because Froch was not a big name and there were bigger names he could fight. I think the same about Calzaghe, Froch has been calling Calzaghe out for ages but Calzaghe didn't fight him because there were bigger names out there. If Froch can win the WBC title he'll get the credibility and Taylor will have to fight him! Then if he can beat Taylor he'll get his respect and could draw the big names to fight him!
