    What do Americans think of Froch now?

    This has probably been discussed else where, however as this fight wasnt shown live in England (which I think is shocking)

    Do you guys think he has a future making fights in the states?

    I liked him since his fight with Reed. Hopefully he more bouts in the states.

      No, they'll just call him a bum until they're blue in the face regardless.

      He's good, but he's still got a lot to prove.

          I would guess that Froch probably made himself a few fans stateside after that performance.

            To be fair Froch has a big gob, and I have followed his career (and seen him live) from the start. He always talked a good fight and I respected the fact he wanted to do things properly IE british commonwealth, european then WBC title (the one he sees as important).

            For about 18 months he did struggle to get fights and had a number of injuries, at 31 he cant hang around, he can **** and has a solid chin but since fight one THAT LEFT HAND IS TOOOOO LOW!!! It does mean he will be in exciting fights and wants to fight the best which is what boxing needs.

            It was a gamble going to the states and fair play to him, would love to see him in with Kessler

                  We have some great domestic level fighters at the moment, and I think Boxing is undergoing a bit of a revival at the moment. The I was out of curiousity really, its good to get the opinion of guys looking at Froch with fresh eyes.

                    froch has made a name for himself.

                    I still think he's very amatuerish. I give him credit for beating taylor, but taylor is a gatekeeper.
