Is Carl Froch hype?

[Guest]

He says he will start faster. He has said that was one of the lessons he learned from the Dirrell fight. Question is: Can he? He has been fighting the same way all through his career.

Well he did jump on Miranda when there were doubts about him.

The fact that most people are praising his record when the 4 big fights he's had are 3 losses in reality W or no W, Taylor took him to school while he was on the downslide, Direll was a hometown gift which everyone knows was a L and Kessler beat him on the downslide. I actually like Froch and i think he's a very clever boxer and made the most of his abilities that he has - pretty much a typical british boxer but he can't get praise for a record where most fights are 10 minutes away from his house and got lucky for 1 fight and gifted 1 more and the main thing that pisses me off about him is the way he talks **** for a guy with barely any accomplishments thats all.

One man sees a guy get lucky late after being taken to school

Another man sees a gutsy warrior pullin out the win when the chips were down


Taylor also outboxed AA before folding late, Abraham is no bum so i not gonna hate on Carl for not dominating Taylor.

Dirrell is the better fighter but he only has himself to blame

And his loss to Kessler was a classic and real close tho the right man won

Carl Froch BEAT Jermain Taylor, he KNOCKED him out. Why is that so hard to understand? It doesn't matter if Taylor was ahead on the scorecards, the bottomline is that he got knocked the **** out. It's not like it was a robbery like in the Dirrell fight. Knockouts are a part of the sport you know, that is what makes boxing so exciting, that anybody can be knocked out at anytime and that it doesn't really matter who is ahead or not. So I just don't get why you around saying that Taylor actually beat Froch... He got KNOCKED OUT!

No one could argue the fact that he is hard to beat, so that is half the job done.
I mean not everyone could force a stoppage like he did against JT in the dying seconds without some kind of attributes in your locker room. Maybe that attribute is determination and will to win.
But having said that, JT was knocked out in the dying seconds in his next fight. SO maybe JT is easy to beat in the dying seconds? I contradicted myself trying to defend Froch.

Abraham has said in a recent interview he intends to start strong against Froch.

he took himself to school, he was starting to get beat up in the late rounds and got finished

Froch isn't hype at all, if anything he is seriously underated.

Froch doesn't possess fast hands, slick footwork, defense,etc but he has become a top 168lber because he can punch, has good stamina and is tough as nails.

His ability to box is underated also, he actually has a decent jab and he proved he can move decently well against Kessler.

What impresses me the most about him is his resume.

Wins over Pascal, Taylor, Dirrell ( i thought Dirrell won but he looked like crap), close loss to Kessler which he could of easily won had it been anywhere else but Denmark. Thats a top resume at 168.

He deserves props for being willing to take tough fights. I never used to like Froch but these past few years i've grown to like him because he wants to test himself against the best and he fights hard.
