    Is Carl Froch hype?

    I saw his fight vs Jermain Taylor and he was getting outboxed, outjabbed, knocked down and taking power shots from Jermain who was on the down-low, Andre Direll i also saw that on PrimeTime when they were previewing his next fight and from the highlights i saw he was losing aswell so if not for that TKO he would have lost, so i want to know if he is all hype or not.

        The same Pascal who is going to take a brutal beat-down this Saturday by "Bad" Chad Dawson.

          But that was a pretty close fight and both took shots, very close fight.

            Carl froch would suit cage fighting or some other crap. He won a world title, cong**** but he isnt legit.

            Hit and not be hit is the aim of the game

              Froch will always get outboxed but can his opposition do it for 12 rounds? That's the toughest part. He lacks in skill but has a good chin and can apply pressure. I actually think his jab isn't that bad...it's his awkward style. I think he earned his spot.

              Magee, Hauge, Pascal, Taylor, Dirrell (gift).

                He is competant in all areas. His boxing skills might not be the best, but he is physically capable, with speed and power.
                ANd he has resilience and determination on a world class scale. ANd he capitalises on his strenghths and it has taken him this far.

                So he is not hype but he isnt the greatest of all time ability wise and resume wise.

                  i don't think he's hype because as far as i know no one really rates him that highly

                  the fact that he always comes in tip top condition and can take a good shot are his best assets but he is always going to be outclassed by better technical fighters which most american fighters are

                  abraham isn't as good a boxer as taylor or even kessler so it will be interesting to see how froch does against him he should be able to land more than a few shots on abraham who is a stationary target for the most part

                    It wasn't a close fight.
