They hate him because he gets hit alot and boxing fans hate the entertainment that produces.

After Abraham, Froch's last five opponents will look like this -

Abraham
Kessler
Dirrell
Taylor
Pascal

No wonder why boxing is in the *****er when warriors like Froch get needlessly hated upon.

He might not have a lot of skill, but he makes for an exciting fight and has balls the size of bowling balls. If you don't like him I suggest you leave the thread and go watch 12 boring rounds of 'slick' boxing. Me, I would rather watch Froch walk head first into his opponents best punches, smile, and then throw some of his own.

People are talking about Froch since Pascal have beat Dawson. The problem is that Pascal fought him at 168 wich was not a good division for him "he had problems making 168...", he's a natural LWH, in a rematch Froch would lose by UD 10-2. I respect Froch though, he's a warrior...

He definitely appears to expose the lack of required skill on some level. He's probably secretly and subtely more skilled than fans realize. He's the opposite of a Hopkins/Ward type. Although his press releases are on par with Hopkins.

Abraham not done yet
Kessler - lost
Dirrell - only 2 non brits had him winning that fight - lost
Taylor - lost till the 12th
Pascal - well I give him that, althought there could be made some excuses

His resume though is very good, he's willing to take every fight.
He just *****es around too much after a loss, which makes him unsympathetic

Hes in the mould of an old school fighter, he doesn't care much for defense, he just wants a brawl. Hes there to try and knock you out.

If you don't respect him as a boxer, he has to earn your respect as a fighter.. He comes to fight, I don't know why anyone would hate on that.

People will always criticize his wins though.

He won a razor thin decision over Dirrell and he beat Pascal clearly. Pascal said something like he just feels more comfortable at 175, he wasn't weight drained in the Froch fight.

Froch isn't a good style match up for Pascal full stop. And all this Pascal was weight drained when he fought Froch nonsense needs to stop. He wasn't weight drained or hindered. Froch was just better than him. On top of this, Pascal looks slower at LHW, and looks unnaturally big like he has put on too much mass. To be honest, I believe Froch would suit LHW better than Pascal. He has the frame for it and could easily add more mass without looking blown up. Thus I think Froch beats Pascal at whatever weight they choose to fight at. It might be a closer matchup but no way does Pascal beat Froch 10-2. That's a crazy and ignorant statement.

He fights anyone and has only lost once. If everyone in boxing did what he does, the sport would be much bigger. Froch's attitude = good for boxing.

Seeing that he lost his last two fights, and would have lost three in a row had Taylor not been stubborn and took a knee I don't know. Evryone in the supersix has been fighting good fighters, why not give credit to Ward, Direll, and Abraham?
