    Being British means nothing.

    People don't have to support people from the country they are form.

    I don't support Carl Froch nor David Haye. Infact, I dislike both of them.

    I'm not going to stop disliking them because they are from the same country as me.

      Exactly, man - it's all kudos to Carl, win, lose or draw.


      He's challenging himself more than anyone in the game right now, and I don't think it's close.

        this feels like a new york fight. it is a true international fight, concluding an international tournament. new york is the most well know international city. madison square garden baby!

          I can't wait for this.

          I never expected to see Froch in the final of this tornument but I applaud him for pulling it off.

          Should be a great event.

            I find it hard to figure out how anyone could dislike Carl's contribution to the sport since stepping up to Championship level.


            We won't even talk about level of comp, that's a no-brainer.


            If it's a style thing, I can see how one might feel some elements of his style are less aesthetic than is ideal. But you could say that of a lot of quality fighters who, overall, deliver watchable performances and fights, like Carl does.


            If it's a personality thing, I look at most complaints about Froch's personality the same way I look at the complaints about, sayy, Floyd's.

              Congratulations Iron Dan, you just owned and ****d(even if it wasnt your intention) the entire crowd of loons and casual fans that populate NSB nowadays.

                I don't like anything about Carl Froch. I don't like his style or way he fights, I don't like his whinging and moaning, I don't like his voice, and I don't like his wife.

                That's just me, that's my personal view. I have never liked Carl Froch and I have followed his whole career and I have never liked him and never will. That's just me, I don't like the man.

                Do I respect him? Absolutely.

                I have in incredible amount of respect for the man because;

                1. He fights the best and gives it his all. No way to deny this.

                2. He finds a way to win.

                3. He had to come up the hard way getting no help from Sky and instead chose the root of earning his respect as opposed to being given it.

                I'm not biased toward him, I give credit where it's due regardless to the fact of me likeing someone or not. I respect Carl Froch, and wrote him off before he had even fought Jermain Tayor and he proved me wrong. I have to tip my hat off to him for that.

                But I still doesn't change the fact I don't and will never like him.

                  cant u tell, didnt u see the fight, Hatton was about to kicks Pacs ass, then he suddenly felt like it was 4am and had to go to sleep straight away.



                  Anyway back to the point of the thread, vegas or new york would be fine. Hopefully Froch can prove me wrong again and get a win i dont think he is capable of getting.
