I have to admit I have always been a little bit critical of Carl Froch and his boxing ability. He just never really impressed me all that much, maybe it was his awkward style or his brash personality but I was just never really sold on him. I remember seeing him at the Pac vs Mosley fight with his wife (who is gorgeous by the way) and I said whatsup to him and he gave me a pound and I though damn that's pretty cool of him, seems like a genuine down to earth dude. Then he goes in and takes some real big shots against Glen Johnson, shakes it off like it's nothing, and completely handles business. I'll tell you what, I still don't think this guy has a remarkable skill set, but he sure is one tough son of a b**tch, and anyone who steps in the ring with him is going to have to go through hell and back to beat him. I still like Andre ward to beat him in the Super Six final, but I really do have a new found appreciation for Carl Froch.

Froch has excellent skill, he was a world class Amateur who got a medal at the world championships. His defence is lax at times but skillwise, he's as good as anyone. -

He's ROCKETED in my estimations since the Dirrell fight too, and im from the UK i watched him come up. I thought he was European class at very best, oh well!
Im a big fan now, and while im still backing Ward its a HELLUVA lot closer than i thought a while back!Comment

Yeah, maybe it's just because he looks so damn awkward sometimes that I under estimate his skills.Comment

He looks so slow and wooden at times and he DOES make silly mistakes like for example when he jabs he pulls his right hand back too, amature stuff...
But hey he his a good chin a huge heart, top level power, a good engine, perfect SMW frame and he can fight! I rate him highly and its about time he was seen on some p4p lists imo its not all about flash and slick skillsComment

I agree with you. I'm not totally sold on Bute at the moment and i think both Froch and Ward beat him.Comment
