Carl Froch Admits to Training Injured For Taylor

[ACHlLLES]

Did Froch talk about Calzaghe anymore? That is all he usually can talk about, how annoying it will be if Froch does pull the upset off and constantly calls out Calzaghe.

Already has excuses

Like: Look, i`m not fighting my best... So if i lose, you know why...

Every fighter goes into the ring with minor injuries nothing new here, You dont put your body through hell for 2 months without some form of kickbacks.

But Froch coming out with it looks like a tactics.

[Dave Rado]

The title is a bit misleading, but why would he even mention the injuries if they were not serious? There is no point in commenting on it, especially before a huge fight like this.

I agree with black.ink's post:

I think the article is a little over-exaggerating Froch's problem. He has had many 'minor' injury problems before other fights, but raising it before the biggest fight of your career doesn't seem right.

It could be a ploy, to make Taylor come for him, to pick him apart, setting him up into a battle, which Froch favours. Who knows?

I am rooting for Froch but this sounds like a ready made excuse to me.

ready made excuse. couldn't put it anyway better


jermain is too skilled and experience for froch to beat, even he himself knows this hence the ready made excuse

A good or bad tactic?

Do you think it's a ploy to throw Taylor off his gameplan to try and inflict more damage to Froch? Froch must realise that his best chance to beat Taylor is to drag him into a toe-to-toe affair, perhaps he has said this to change Taylor's state of mind and bring him into Froch's gameplan?

If it was that, why would he stress the fact that he's no worse than he's been in any of his other fights?

I agree with their posts as well

[ATFsven]

I think its all blown out of proportion!
You know what journos are like!!

he was obviously asked how training went and any injuries.. and he just replied with a comment. i get "niggles" after training doesnt everyone?

[mines a pasty]

Froch always hurts himself training, this is nothing new what so ever, and also nothing new for him to mention it.

Posting this article is, in fact, completely pointless and shows how little the person who posted it actually knows about boxing. Clearly just another cut and paste idiot.

Im amazed at the lack of knowledge by so many people on this forum.
