    Do u know anythin about him?

    Froch is arrogant but has definate talent. He is elusive and powerful but he really needs to test himself. I want to see him take the European belt off Chanet and then get himself in a position to challenge Lacy/Kessler (Beyer will probably be retired and Calzaghe will be fighting at Light Heavyweight). He is definately a more talented fighter than Lacy, but Lacy seems more prepared to put the work in.

    Froch has already fought on your side of the pond against Henry Porras.

      Froch is from Nottingham in England like me so I should like him, but he comes off like a bit of a prick. He couldnt stop Matthew Barney and got a gift against Groenwald, although he was winning and winning well. I doubt he'll win a genuine world title though, not unless the super middles go back to how they were about two years ago

        Barney isn't easy to stop though is he? He is as defensive as Ottke without the gift decisions. Barney was also robbed in a European title fight at Light Heavyweight in Germany against Thomas Ulrich so he isn't a bad fighter.

        Groenewald wasn't fighting back, similar stoppage to Jones-Braithwaite and fairly justifiable.

          Lacy was supposed to be fighting Froch in a USA vs England meet, but he saw how Froch dismantled one of his US team-mates then didn't bother showing up!

            I think this was October 2000.

              It's a nice myth, but quite ridiculous. Joe was calling out everybody for years, nobody had the courage to fight him because they knew that they would lose.

              Calzaghe has never calling out Kessler,because Calzaghe now he will lose
