    Yeah that’s the perfect way to describe Froch. A thin skinned and jealous bully, but on the flipside he’s endless entertainment for getting the piss taken out of.

      Carl Froch does and says things for sensationalism, he knows what he is doing 'and I have come to understand this. That is his entire game'.

      People need to think back, Carl Froch for a large majority of his career 'was not really a big fighter, and he did not really appear to have a passionate fan base in my opinion. And that is why I think? He did have a slight issue with fighters such as Anthony Joshua and Amir Khan who from the moment they turned professional they were block buster attractions. Especially in the case of Amir Khan'.

      Note: I think his podcast is alright, once you understand his game 'sometimes he is serious, and makes great points. Other times he is heavily criticising certain fighters such as Anthony Joshua'.

      I used to think it was a great attribute to 'tell it like it is' but? Sometimes you need to show compassion and empathy when you speak on certain subjects.

      I have always believed that many people within the boxing community, have over exaggerated and down played Anthony Joshua's efforts to actually win vs Daniel Dubois 'Joshua got up off the deck in round 1 from a knockout punch, and then proceeded to uncharacteristically abandoned his usually measured and calculated boxing. Instead Anthony Joshua had a swing up with Daniel Dubois while severely concussed, and nearly turned the fight around'.

      Terrible fight tactically, it was in all honesty? Anthony Joshua's worst ever professional boxing fight in terms of tactics used and the application of his skills. But no former professional fighter can watch that fight and criticise Joshua for lack of effort or courage'.

      To conclude: So overall I have not really got a issue with Carl Froch and his podcast, or attitude 'but as a former World Champion boxer, I think he must understand that he is talking about other professional fighters some? That have technically achieved greater individual feats than himself' etc.

        He also never seems to keep the same energy when he see's the person. Either back tracks, or totally softens his delivery at best.

        If you're going to be the "I just tell it like it is" guy you have to be that in front of them as well.

          I don't think I've ever heard anything about him getting cancelled or any controversy, just isn't that likeable really

He was a great champion with many highlight wins. And the moon landing was a publicity stunt, it's impossible, that's why we never went back and never will go back. As far as flat earth - I talked to two pilots who assured it's round but who knows ) So much BS and fakery in this world, can't rule it out.
            The establishment is now tin foil hatted wing nuts, though. These weidos are the establishment.

            Whenever a person plays the cancelled card, they get even more attention. The establishment shills are those who use expressions like "establishment shills."

            It's not 2010 anymore, wings nuts are in power and the whole crying comes from the establishment. And conspiracy theories and wing nuts who promote them (joe rogan types) are more influential and powerful than ever.

            Froch is just another example of this nonsense.

            Case in point, in the U.S., the health minister, RFK Jr. is a wing nut conspiracy theroist.

                Froch has his issues, but most boxers do too, so it's hard for me to criticize his ego trip or when he's clearly playing it up because he is performing a role in order to make money, as he admits in the interview. The problem isn't Froch it's the system that keeps feeding us empty spectacles like his.

                An easy lesson I've learned is to love boxers for what they do in the ring and ignore everything else. Not saying there aren't exceptions, but it's how boxing flows. I always enjoyed seeing Froch do his thing in the ring, he is the classic example of the fighter who isn't the most skilled but uses every ounce of his brain and body to try to win. And for that I will always remember him with warmth.

                  Shows what the UK hype machine is really about in boxing and how Groves was never really even close to a top fighter if past his peak Froch who didn't even want to be there stopped him twice.

                    RFK Jr is making it so that vaccines are no longer forced on people, although they will still be free to take them if they want. That doesn’t make him a wing nut.

                      • In 2019 RFK Jr. visited Samoa and met with local anti-vaccine activists and the prime minister. Public health officials and Samoan health workers stated that his presence and the subsequent spread of misinformation by his organization "emboldened" local anti-vaxxers, further harming efforts to rebuild trust in vaccines.
                      • Consequences: Within months of his visit, a severe measles outbreak, originating from New Zealand, swept through the vulnerable, under-vaccinated population. The outbreak infected thousands and led to the deaths of 83 people, most of whom were young children.

                      get ready merica, guess you forgot why vaccines exist...check the life expectancy in the early 1900's. less than 50...then the first vaccines were introduced and it skyrocketed. not to mention sickly people will overload our health care system, destroy people financially etc...but yeah freedom to be dumb must be abided
