    1: He's tough
    2: He'll fight anyone
    3: He's Determined
    4: Fights are exciting.

    He and Pascal both have made me a fan of theirs in the last year. Are they world beaters? no they are not. I do think though that both of them will test the heart of anyone they fight.

        any fighter with a good chin, good workrate and some inkling of boxing skills would easily UD him. calzaghe would have had a field day with him, froch is tailor made for calzaghe slow open and delusional. he seems to think hes stronger and quicker than he actually is.

        froch however is an exciting fighter, he comes to fight has two big wins over pascal and JT and is good to watch. but imo hes only going to last a few more years so enjoy him while you can.

        i think froch is a truth fighter, if you haven't been doing your roadwork he will find out, if theres hype behind your strength or quickness he will find out and if you're a good fighter making ourself out to be better than you are he will find you out.

        froch imo is a gate keeper whos enjoying some title success and because of his style i dont think anyone would begrudge him of it.
        Calzaghe was a better fighter but the difference for me is Froch is willing to fight anyone anywhere. Joe simply never had that mindset. Joe teetered with his belt for years without doing much. Froch is out there kicking down doors. I'm sorry but guys like Froch are better for the sport than Joe ever was.

            Ten reasons why Carl Froch great for boxing -

            1) Power
            2) Heart
            3) Endurance
            4) Never give up attitude
            5) Will fight anybody
            6) Will travel anywhere
            7) Can give it as well as take it
            8) Beat Jermain Taylor in his own backyard in his first defence
            9) Signed up to a tournament where he has the most to lose out of anybody participating
            10) Underrated

            I can add 50 reasons why Carl is great for boxing. And I'd rather have a Froch than a Calzaghe or Mayweather.

                Great points, I would also rather have someone like Froch than Joe calzaghe/Mayweather to be honest, Am a big calzaghe/Mayweather fan but some of the decision they make leave alot to desire.

                    He's just a tough guy who makes excitin fights. Maybe not a gr8 boxer but got chin, heart, stamina, workrate. I respect Froch.

                      Froch can ****, has a pretty horrible defense and a good chin. Combine those skills with his fight anyone spirit and you got yourself an exciting fighter. There isn't a thing to not like about him. He isn't the best fighter in the world but no matter who he fights he gives you a show.
