Carl Froch appreciation thread

Carl Froch appreciation thread. Man i just rewatched the last round of Taylor vs Froch what a fight that was. The showtime commentary was electric to. Froch cant box for **** but man has he got a set a balls.

What i like about Froch is he is not arrogant either. In the build up he probably is, but you can tell he is a genuine sound guy after fights etc.

I would LOVE to see Pavlik vs Froch. What a fight that would be. It would be fight of the decade imo.

I gotta say I have alot of respect for Froch, that big moth of his is annoying but I respect the fact that he is looking to fight the best.

Definitely, hes one of my favorite fighters and everything he brings, is what boxing needs. Some excitement, a bold talker and a strong boxer with one punch power. He doesn't play at all and i hope he takes it to the top.

Co-sign that.

What i like about Froch's style is ......people dont usually give credit to guys who are JUST consistent. They are not exceptional at anything but they have a ton of heart and and they keep coming after you.

To me Pavlik is in that mould with Pavlik in that sense.

Here is my appreciation....

I did notice most of Froch's critics have a soft spot for Joe. It doesn't add up tho as Carl made a great effort outside of his comfort zone and got the job done in dramatic fashion. Carl should be able to call out anyone he choses. His first defense was against the former number one Middleweight. Anyone who hates this guy obviously has an agenda.

Fighters need to promote themselves sometimes and it may lead to arrogance and insults. In his mind he can beat Calzaghe and IMO he desperately wants this fight. Lets not forget, he has been pursuing Joe before his retirement and I am sure he will continue to do so. If Froch didn't think highly of Joe why would he want to fight him so bad? Calzaghe is a legend that is why.

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.

This post encapsulates everything. If you cannot respect a fighter like that no matter how technically inferior you gotta be a bitter Joe fan.

It is the sad truth. ACHILLIES is the biggest Joe fan/Froch hater on this board.
