We won't get a Carl Froch again for a long, long time

[Dubious-Dutch]

My point about him not being American is more related to the chances he could of had and a little more recognition.

Being a fighter outside of America is tough and going to America as a world champion at the age of 31 is even harder. If Froch lost, his 'career' in America would have probably been lost.

Maybe if Froch had gone to America earlier, Like McEwan has and Khan. Perhaps he'd have fought the likes of Kessler by now..

But with the British disrespecting.. I put that down to a lot of them being Calzaghe fans.

I understand your point about fighting in America and gaining recognition. Froch made his best effort to do that by having his first defense against a well known opponent in America. If that doesn't get him the exposure/respect he craves, I am afraid nothing will. Carl should be commended for the risk he took not put down and laughed at.

The guy is too SLOW and easy to hit ,his power is ovverrated and if TAYLOR doesn't fade he wins.He came 14 seconds away from losing to a fighter who hasn't scored a knockout since before HOPKINS and has been beat and knocked out in 7 ALREADY.I can't take away his heart but even his chin isn't that good.He was hurt multiple times and this coming from someone who was there saturday night at FOXWOODS.I really wanted FROCH to be the next great thing since I do dislike CALZAGHE,but CALZAGHE would absolutly embarrass FROCH.He would be WAY TO SLOW and easy to hit.One sided UD for CALZAGHE,at first I thought FROCH could ko him,no way ,too slow and his punches would be telegraphed all night.If I was TEAM FROCH,I wpould stay FAR away from KESSLER,ANDRADE,DIRRELL-I think SAKIO BIKA and ALLEN GREEN are VERY DANGEROUS but winnible fights.

Froch has a ****ing beast chin.

He always looks like he's been hurt, but no one ever finishes him off.

According to his trainer you only get one Carl Froch every generation.

Why don't you like your UK fighter Froch? He showed the heart of a lion on Saturday.

Actually, I think I know why you don't like him, Davros.

Any one willing to travel to the US to fight Jermain Taylor then wants to go to Denmark right after for Mikkel Kessler should be applauded. Bottom line.

Exactly.

Say what you will about his fighting style, but the man wants to fight the best and is willing to go to other guys' turf. Those are balls right there.

Yes, he may not have the best boxing skills, but unlike most boxers nowadays, he's willing to fight anyone, anywhere.

[S.G.]

he has the right attitude towards his boxing career. very refreshing

however he is not a special boxer... he gets by on toughness, which is not a rare trait in this sport

I am quoting what his trainer said nothing more.

I don't think he relies on toughness...he's just tough. He also has a solid chin, good power and is an excellent counterpuncher. His best trait however is his looseness in the ring. He's very relaxed, wasting little motion.
