Comments Thread For: Carl Froch Discusses His Side of The "Amir Khan Feud"

[Shattered Jaw]

Carl Froch is a no talent jealous b*tch. He wished he had Khan's talent and popularity (and money). He doesnt understand that Khan is getting all this fame and money because he is a very talented boxer. Froch on the other hand is a robotic boxer with no talent or whatsoever.

Ofcourse Salita isnt world class but Khan threated him just like that by knocking him out in the very first round. Khans resume at 22 is more impressive than Frochs resume at 30.

HAHAHA.

Not only are you way off the mark but age has nothing to do with it mate. Compare the actual number of pro fights please - both had similar amateur backgrounds.

I'm giving Froch his just due. At his late age (probably already missing his physical prime) he is undefeated having taken on and beaten Pascal, Dirrell and Taylor. Kahn has a similar number of fights, holds a title as does Froch but has nowhere near the resume. Think of all those paper champs out there with a fair few defences... At all those obscure weight classes... Why are we not speaking about them? Why is there this hype for Kahn? I'll tell you why... it's because of fabricated hype, nonsense and a lot of people lap it up like sick puppies. Froch worked his way up the hard way, out of his physical prime, without a bottomless pit of money to allow him to cherry pick, fight at home constantly, buy the best training in the world and generally make the absolute best possible career possible.

Some day you'll sit back and realise I was right... until then, please continue to feed from the milky breast of Frank Warren.

There is a reason you are deeeeppppp into the red. I'd be glad to be on your ignore actually, saves me having to skip your posts everytime.

Okay back on my PC because control typing on the PS3 is annoying me.

Age matters. Name me any 23 year old fighter that has done what Khan has done now.

His resume is not as good as Froch's possibly, but the best at 23 IMO.

Okay you say that the fights are the same, and that Froch has the same amount of fights and is most likely out of his prme age, but he himself said that it isn't a problem because he hasn't been in many wars and is fresh.

Pascal was a good fight but he is not a great fighter. Drianou isn't either if you want to bring up his light heavyweight success.

Froch is what, 29/30? There are plenty of year olds who have done better than him. Infact Taylor has already lost and made Froch look awful. Abraham exposed Taylor by outboxing him, and he ouboxed Froch for 11.99 rounds.

Dirrell did run, but he is green. You saying he is is a good fighter? Because if you are, then Khan is too.

Khan has plenty of skill. He may have been overhyped, but he worked hard for whatver he has, and where he is. The Olympic silver started it off.

Froch will lose to Kessler. All my points against you on it. Deal?

Why is there this hype for Kahn? I'll tell you why... it's because of fabricated hype, nonsense and a lot of people lap it up like sick puppies.

Rubbish. He won an Olympic silver medal at an extremely young age. The Olympic final was watched by around 15 million people in the UK, and he also had a lot of terreststrial TV coverage in his early pro career. That, rather than any hype, is the main reason he's a lot more well known in Britain than Froch is, and is why he's been able to make more money than Froch.

Soon after his loss in the Olympic final, he convincingly avenged his defeat against Kindelan.

As a pro it was obvious from the get-go that he has truly exceptional talent, superb hand-speed and timing, and a very exciting style. It was also obvious that he had a lot of stylistic flaws and was being very badly trained, but that didn't hide his raw talent.

Since teaming up with Roach, he has improved his fundamentals dramatically. Kotelnik was a very good and completely one-sided win against a solid top 5 opponent, who had just beaten Maidana. Salita was a mandatory, so criticising him for taking that fight is ridiculous. And although some are blowing that win out of proportion, the fact is that no one could have dealt with Salita more decisively than he did.

What really matters is what happens next. Maidana is his next mandatory, and that fight should answer the questions about his chin. Provided that fight happens in 2010, anyone who is not a hater will give him full props. And criticising him for wanting to fight Marquez on the basis that he's old is also ridiculous. Marquez is still ranked very highly in the P4P lists, and it's not a huge jump from 135 to 140.

Sure Warren is trying to over-hype him now, and so are many journalists. He should still be regarded as a fantastic prospect, but not yet as a real world champion. But that doesn't alter the fact that he has tremendous talent, and has massive potential.

Froch criticising him for not having rematched Prescott is pathetic. Prescott has lost his last two fights badly, the last one to a Jnr Lightweight. Before those defeats, Khan said many times that he wanted to rematch him soon. But it would be ****** to rematch him now, after those defeats; and Froch is an idiot for suggesting otherwise.

Froch seems to have a psychological need to trash the records of other British fighters, when any true patriot would celebrate their achievements. As others have said, it's hard not to put that down to jealousy.

Froch worked his way up the hard way, out of his physical prime, without a bottomless pit of money to allow him to cherry pick, fight at home constantly, buy the best training in the world and generally make the absolute best possible career possible.

Froch waited until he was 31 before fighting any meaningful opposition. He spent 6 whole years fighting nobodies. He has no one to blame but himself for his lack of stardom. If he'd fought some top 10 fighters a year or two sooner than he did, and won, then he'd have got the fight he craved with Calzaghe. But he blew it by fighting nobodies for too long.

And almost everyone thought that a very green Dirrell deserved the decision against him. And he is clearly not outstandingly talented. He fights with a lot of heart and intensity, and has tremendous stamina - and his style is exciting, provided his opponent is willing to trade; but he is a very limited boxer, and no trainer is ever going to be able to alter that. Which is the reason Roach wanted to train Khan but would never even consider training Froch.
