What was your first impression of Carl Froch?

[Fox McCloud]

I first saw him fight Jermain Taylor, and I thought he was total trash.

I find it very interesting that he has changed my mind more than anyone in the sport, because I am actually very impressed by his will to win, and his boxing intelligence, to see what is going on in the ring, and making the adjustments necessary to put himself in a position to win the fight.

My first impression was this guy had to be a fencer in a previous life. I was impressed with his power in the Pascal fight.

I hope he beats that one fighter who talks like he has brain-damage. That AA fighter, his face was very beaten up after Dirrell got done with him.

saw the taylor fight as well. thought he looked like a killer robot who cut of the ring like he was doing "the robot.".

I expected more from him technically. His mental toughness has carried him beyond the limits of his gifts. It'll be interesting to see if experiencing defeat affects that mental toughness.

My first impression was that he was going to get KO'd soon. To his credit, he's worked on his defense and that's helped. He still needs to do a lot more to fix it though.

I still give him credit for being a ballsy fighter with a tremendous self-confidence and will to win.

Love the fencer comparison. Hilarious.

First time I saw him fight was the Taylor fight to be honest. And I did not think that Taylor was SO far ahead on the cards. I thought Taylor came out fast and Froch was really rallying when the fight was stopped.

Really didn't think it was the blowout that people thought it was. Froch was landing his jab all fight and was competitive throughout.

First impression? He needs to improve his defense. Which is why he should have lost the Dirrell fight.
