    am i the only one who thinks froch isnt that good?

    full credit to him winning on saturday,but that fight showed more of his weaknesses than strengths.the fight reminded me of cotto-margarito in some ways.the cobra won the fight with heart and determination but his gameplan was to get outboxed and just pray that his opponent ran out of gas.im sure hes happy just to get taylor out the way so he can go back to his obsession with joe calzaghe

    I personally don't think he is good.

    Kessler would pummel him.

    Hopkins and Calzaghe would take him to school.

    I would even favor Taylor in a rematch.

      no i didnt think he was that good, but he was entertaining. Lots of heart, guts and a bit of power. I'll watch again.

            Technically Froch isnt very good, but he has the heart of a lion and the will to win! That makes up for the lack of technical skill. He is a world class fighter and is going to be hard to beat but i agree that he most definitely has his flaws. I ve followed him for a while now and between rounds 1-6 that wasnt the real Carl Froch, even the commentators mentioned it, he looked flat, wasnt letting his hands go, i just think the nerves and lack of warm up in the dressing room got to him.

            IMO he is world class, but for unconventional reasons, not because of his boxing skills.

                We've been spoiled with great fights this year, your too fussy! I didnt care who won, so didnt care if Froch was outboxed. I thought it was a good fight.

                  na nothing 2 do with being fussy,i just find his amatureish style horrible 2 watch,but i also think he would be boring 2 watch if he didnt fight like that,his bad defence makes it entertaining

                    I also dont think he's very good, but he has heart and a chin, and good power. I'd also favour Taylor in a rematch. His fights do seem to be worth watching, although its more of a, whats gonna happen next thing, other than a wow this boy has some skills thing.
