Froch was outclassed and people who know boxing saw this coming a mile away. There was maybe 1 close round that entire fight...and that is only because Froch is just tough with a great chin and a lot of grit. Froch's actual skill level is one flush from going down the toilet lol. His footwork is awful, he has no defense, mediocre at best fundamentals and is about as slow as a boxer I have seen in years. He is just determined, tough and strong. As far as all his "great" victories, let's look at them:
1.Pascal (hometown decision)
2.Dirrell (hometown decision and Froch was rocked)
3.Kessler (lost)
4.Taylor (lost 11 out of 12 rounds, was knocked down and won with just 17 seconds left)
5.Johnson (close fight and could have went to Johnson as well)
6.Ward (was outboxed completely)
7.Abraham (solid win)
So there is no dominance and only 1 clear, concise solid win for Froch over great opposition. 2 fights not being in Nottingham and a 17 second difference would give Froch 3 more losses. I would be fine with Froch if it wasn't for his annoying arrogant loud mouth. He thinks he is better than he is, he is tough, will fight anyone and has mad heart, but his "actual skill level" is closer to toughman/barroom brawl level than prizefighter.Comment

I'm a Froch fan but he was totally outclassed by Ward.
But whilst he does say he doesn't think it was a beating or that he got whooped, he did say Ward is the man at 168 (the best bar none). That's a pretty big statement to make with someone that's in your division & fair play to Froch.
And why do people hate on the guy for being arrogant or ****y? Considering what he's achieved; I think he can. Nothing wrong with it, so long as he hurting anyone by being that way.
I hope he whoops Bute.Comment

I think you sometimes need that kind of mentality in order to face the biggest threats available.
The sort of guy who is 100% aware of and honest with himself about his short-comings is probably more likely to be selective about who he faces.
Anyway, Froch said after the fight that he had no excuses and that Ward was simply the better fighter, the fact that he sees it as closer than it really was is no big deal imo.Last edited by Clegg; 02-24-2012, 10:52 PM.Comment

1.Pascal (hometown decision) - nope good win for froch.
2.Dirrell (hometown decision) - close fight could have gone either way
3.Kessler (lost)
4.Taylor (lost 11 out of 12 rounds, was knocked down and won with just 17 seconds left) - Fight that went the way it was suppose to good KO
5.Johnson (close fight and could have went to Johnson as well) - not a chance
6.Ward (was outboxed completely) - agreed
7.Abraham (solid win) - most convincing win out of the lotComment
