Comments Thread For: Carl Froch on Amir Khan: We Need To Shake Hands, Have a Little Kiss and Make Up

Crawford AND BoMac said this. Yes. They're responsible for what Brook did to him.

Wasn't Froch the one that said, "he's only good for getting knocked out, that kid"?

then crawford came all the way over the ocean to sit ringside for the fight & i was trying to watch the crowd but i think he was cheering for brook

Fixed win against Dirrell, facts!

I was ring side and thought Dirrel nicked it.
Froch is right about Khan though , bitter or not.

I don't believe that. Froch only had his first pro fight when he was 25 in 2002.. Khan is 10 years younger and was an Olympic Silver medalist at 17, BIG publicity.. A better amateur CV than Froch so was into the big money right away.

Froch had only 2 losses one against Kessler in Denmark a home town decision which heactually won. The second was a very close loss to Andre Ward. He beat Jean Pascal who later became World light-heavy champ.

Boxrec says he's the 3rd best Lb for Lb British fighter in history. He was a top rate WARRIOR, I saw several of his fights and he was afraid of no one. He'd fight King Kong if he had a chance.

Don’t believe what? Amir was earning big money way before Froch. Check the purses, that’s factually accurate.

Selective memory. After Froch's first loss, Amir was mocking him saying that he could get a job at his gym hanging up posters.

How many jabs has Froch taken at Amir in comparison? Froch is way more bitter, it’s not even close. Khan’s never really cared about Froch.

Has he said anything that’s not true?

That’s not to say you aren’t correct. What Froch has said is true regardless of their bickering.

Froch was calling for Amir to retire back in like 2012.

He’s always carried this weird bitterness towards Amir.

One thing I have learnt in my life is life is too long to bear grudges, although I guess I wouldn't say that to my M-i-L.

what's M-i-L ?

8-4 isn't really nicking it bruv.

Being right is one thing, it's about how he said it. Brutally honest on a countryman isn't the proper approach right. Maybe be a little nicer instead of being a manky cunt about it.

I thought Froch v Dirrell was correctly decided. It was one of those fights where round by round scoring meant the better man lost, like Bowe v Tubbs. Dirrell definitely won his 10-9 rounds while Froch didn't really win a single round. However Dirrell lost an awful lot of rounds by moving backwards without throwing any punches at all. In those circumstances the judges have to give the round on aggression, even if it isn't effective aggression. As I recall Froch won 5 of the first 6 just on moving forward. Dirrell looked the better man in 7-12 but had given himself a mountain to climb.

That’s a little too much.
Khan had some tough losses but won some decent fights too.

I can understand why Froch would have been bitter as it took a LONG time for him to get his deserved recognition but he needs to understand he was with Mick Hennesy who is a B level promoter.

I remember his fight with Pascal was on ITV3 really late at night with no advertising and then I belive he was on Premier Sports etc?

So yeah his ire should have been towards mick not his contemporaries.

Was that the fight with Timmy vs Witter on the undercard? They did a bit before the fight where Froch rang up Calzaghe sheepishly asking for a fight lol
