Froch is a great example why resume is so important

[studentofthegam]

We´re talking resume wise, yes. BTW, do you like "gam"?

Oh ok. No and I dont appreciate you coming on to me for the world to see considering your BS history. LOL

Froch has all the in-ring and out-of-ring ingredients to be a domestic star in the UK (a market you don't really understand);

no he doesn't.

in-ring... he's average at most things and sub-par in a few things, excelling in nothing.

out-of-ring.... he's ****y and aloof which makes him hard to like.

it's just that those who could/should have been tapping his potential are clueless.

the only way to tap into his potential is to set him up as a "heel" or a "villain". froch just doesn't have star quality.

Sounds like Ricky Hatton. Its nothing to do with that, i dunno why you comment on ***** you have no awareness of.

what? hatton is the total opposite of froch.

in-ring: hatton had an exciting style before he started doing his hold-n-hit bit. froch's style isn't as exciting.

out-of-ring: hatton is "average-man". he's like the homer simpson of the UK... drinks beer, fat, eats alot, etc... froch isn't "average-man", froch is somewhat elitist and dismissive which makes it harder to relate to him.

Ricky on paper skills is a better fighter. He has quick feet and above average power. Froch is a ****y SOB which is more my style of fighter. It just that his skills definitly dont match his mouth.

It's arguable, IMO. They both transcend seeming limitations one way or another, are both cast-iron battler types.


But -- regardless of who you give a skillset edge to between Hatton and Froch -- the domestic star potential in Carl was/is apparent.

Seriously, go away and stick to talking about things you know about; which I appreciate is virtually nothing, but, re. this subject, you have even less of a clue than usual.


You're an American who likes the sound of his own voice taking shots in the dark trying to talk down to British citizens who understand what makes a fighter in the UK, understanding that extends back further than just the recent success of Ricky Hatton, BTW, and back to the late 80's/early 90's, the Benn and Eubank days.

You're just another gimp with a textbox and a third-rate 'opinion'; nothing personal.

The irony is; he has the best resume out of all the active British boxers -- and he's still the least popular.

That is because his promoter is Hennessy.

I cant say I totally agree. Pull is over the top sometimes but I think he's close on this one. Hattons appeal was that he is a regular guy. I seriously doubt the UK will come in groves for Froch like they did with Hatton. I mean, They made a song for this guy. Froch has been a little snooty in the past but I have seen his attitude calm a little and with that change came more of a fan base even in the States. I used to be anti-Froch but he's growin on me at a slow slow pace.

I think Hatton was the bigger star. By far...

Hell I think Haye is a bigger star in the U.K.

However, Froch can retire right now. And, he would have a better resume than both.

Froch is the man.

As a fighter Froch>Hatton and Haye.

Hatton is 'humble'

Calling Hatton humble is an insult to a genuinely humble guy like Mikkel Kessler who hasn't marketed himself on fake modesty.

A humble boxer doesn't charge his fans (the fans he is suppose to be thanking for staying up to ****** o'clock to watch him take on v Floyd Mayweather) £15 to see him take on Juan fúcking Lazcano. I remember the advert "This fight is for all my fans".....then there's other ****** shít where he's actually said in interviews "The fans like me 'cause I'm right modest I am"....any one who openly call themselves "modest" aren't modest. Then there was Ricky firing Billy Graham believing that it was Graham's game plan which failed against Mayweather, nothing to do with Ricky's lack of ability, oh no. Then refusing to pay Graham the agreed amount for the Mayweather fight, which Graham had to chase up through lawyers.

Then the joining in and ridiculing of Pacquaio and Roach with Floyd Sr.

Ricky Hatton, humble? Pull the other one.

Fight for fight Hatton fought better guys. Im not downing Froch's res but he's only fought one guy maybe two guys that compete with Hatton's big fights. I call it a even. Skills and excitment.........Give me Hatton.
