Can Carl Froch be the UK's greatest fighter ever?

[Toney Loc]

Well, can he?

[DET. IRONSIDE]

He is FAR too old.

[Earl-Hickey]

Nah he won't beat Lewis let alone some of the real old timers

[goblin213]

I don't think he can top Lennox Lewis or Eubank.

NO !

The best British fighter ever was Ted "Kid" Lewis, who literally had hundreds of fights, fought EVERYBODY, all the way from Welterweight to Heavyweight (actually lightweight) NOT by putting on weight and "going up" but generally at the same time. He was always badly outweighed and won the vast majority of his fights. Even fought Georges Carpentier when he was little more than a welterweight, and was expected by many to win, although of course as is well known, he walked into a KO punch early, and lost.

I believe that he was voted by boxing historians, and sports writers some years ago as the top British fighter of the Century. That is the 20th Century.

I didn't say they are the best but I think Carl Froch won't top them. Of course there are better UK legends like Jimmy Wilde the best flyweight ever.

[Rassclot]

if Froch wins the super 6.

moves up and beats Pascal again for the belt. Defend it a couple of times.

Retire before he loses. I can definitely see a case being made.

[Pullcounter]

no he can't
