    Why isn’t Carl Froch a top 10 P4P fighter?

    Let’s look at his last 5 fights

    A Abraham – total dominance. More so than anyone other fighter. Won every round.

    M Kessler – His first loss. But went out in a blaze of glory. I don’t disagree with the decision, i had Kessler winning by 2 rounds. Having said that, it was competitive for the whole fight, and the 12th was my round of the year for 2010

    A Dirrell – Gave Dirrell his first loss, and whilst the fight was horrible to watch, you can’t blame that on Carl. Dirrell ran for 12 rounds and deservedly lost the decision.

    J Taylor – What an ending! Froch down in the 3rd for the first time in his career, got up, kept battling and proved that no matter what the odds are, if you KO your opponent then you win. Down on all 3 judges cards he knew he needed the KO. 14 seconds left in the fight, he smashed him.

    J Pascal – Gave Pascal his first loss. A man who has gone onto claim the 175lb WBC belt. A fight of the year contender and a war in every sense of the word.


    3 of these fights away from home don’t forget.

    Carl Froch ALWAYS brings it.

    I hope he wins the SS, this is a boxer who gets my respect. So far i haven’t seen enough from A Ward to get the respect from me that Carl ‘s has earn’t.

    Yet Ward is seen as higher up the ranks, indeed a top 10 p4p fighter.

    This is all wrong.

    How many fighters today are prepared, truly prepared to fight the very best.....and actually go ahead and do it?! Almost none.

    Carl Froch is fighter for the fans. You get your money’s worth.

            Promotion and lack of TV exposure, I suspect.

            Comes to something when a boxers talent is determined by which television channel he is or isn’t on.

                  I wasn’t aware of that. However, immaterial, he still needed the KO.
