Is Carl Froch's Resume Underrated?

[damned1974]

Bute is the one who is underrated.

Bute is over-rated at the moment.He beat Andrade cleanly 1 time,and Edison Miranda yet is high on the SMW list...

Froch is a B level fighter who has struggled against fighters who flick a jab in his direction.He was waiting to be derailed and Dirrell should have gotten the nod.Fortunately Kessler did.

I shudder to think what Arthur Abraham will do to him,and Ward would straight up embarrass him.I would like to see him face Sakio Bika.

If anything it's the Poms that overrate him, not the internationtal fans.

I personally have a lot of repect for Froch and wish the other UK fighters had half his heart and 1/8 the desire that Froch has to prove himself in the ring.

If Froch wanted to fight a whole bunch of bums I am sure he would have run up quite a few meaningless defenses like Joe Calzaghe did.

As it is he can't get a TV deal in the UK and he had to enter the Super 6 to get big $$$ because quite simply the British Fans won't support him and instead prefer to spend their money wanking off to David Haye and Amir Khan's mismatches.

By my count Froch's fights with Taylor, Pascal and Kessler were all much more exciting than any one fight from either Haye or Khan's entire careers.

I think so. He fights very good competition and wins more times then not. His win over Jean Pascal has got even better with time. I wouldnt be surprised if he beat Abraham.

Hes a warrior

Is Froch's resume underrated? I should hope not. He's always taken on tough challenges, including one of the gutsiest first defenses I've seen when he went over to Taylor's backyard for pittance and beat the stuffing out of the American star despite overwhelming odds, the first knockdown of his career, a hostile crowd, crooked judges and a crooked ref who gave Jermain a 14 count when he in turn was knocked down. He clearly beat Pascal who, as subsequent fights have shown, is a much better fighter than people gave him credit for at the time, he beat the undefeated Dirrell in a controversial win, and he was extremely competitive in his one (to date) loss against Mikkel Kessler, though as others have said I felt Kessler clearly won that one. He's now taking on the uber-dangerous bald bombshell Arthur Abraham. I don't know about you, but in this current climate of duckers and procrastinators that's a friggin mentallist resume.

how were the judges crooked? 2 of them had taylor rightfully ahead 7 rounds to 4 and one insane judge had froch ahead 8 rounds to 3 which is mental.

Should have lost to Dirrell and lost to Kessler clearly but has good wins over Jermain Taylor and Jean Pascal. He is a better fighter then his haters would have you believe and not nearly as good as his ****** ass fans would tell you he is.

That's not true.

Dirrell didn't deserve the win,a draw yes,but a win?nope...

People use to take the mickey out of him. But most of the good things hes achieved is very recent. Since his win over Pascal is when it really started to look up for him.
So in a very short space of time he has won people over.

That goes for me. Personally. ^^^^^^^^^^^

I used to underrate him as a pro fighter. But he proved in my eyes what kind of quality he has, despite his street fighting style.

It's rare to see real quality brawlers like him.

Perfectly said, pretty much my exact thoughts.
