Froch on why he's NOT a Ali fan

[Vadrigar.]

He's basically saying he respects Ali as a legend but doesn't find his fighting style interesting to watch. You can respect a fighters accomplishments without being a fan. There's nothing wrong with that.

Carl Froch is a well spoken boxer when it comes to analysing fights.

That's true but you take away Roy's speed and you end up with a fighter half as good. Tbh it's amazing what Carl has been able to achieve with what he's been dealt.

True, an overachieving fighter if there has ever been one. But in fairness, I think Froch has something that Roy never did, and that's an iron chin.

The thing is that Roy never did that until he faded and neither did Ali. I can respect that too. I just didn't like Ali because he was a naive ****** when it mattered the most. It is sad to me that he is more insightful now in his old age. He realizes now that all that garbage he was fed was exactly that. Garbage.

A man who views the world the same at fifty as he did at twenty has wasted thirty years of his life.

Wow, what a nothing video. He just said he doesn't like a fighter. That's okay.

Obviously never saw Ali in his prime working laterially and moving in and out long before Roy was born! If you look at Leonard and Jones your looking at Ali just as the older generation looked to Sugar Ray. Boxing skills are learned and adding the "rope a dope" as a defensive tactic against a younger/bigger/stronger/dumber opponent was genius!!! This fellow Froch doesn't seem to have his history straight in the sport he only knows what he's seen in the present and close past. He sounds abit confussed. Ray.

That's the problem when you elevate a normal, mortal man to deity status. Ali was a loudmouth America hating punk for most of his career. The way he treated Joe Frazier was the height of hypocrisy and lack of class.

And his boxing career is overrated as well. But that's hype for you.

He's an overrated icon, I wouldn't want my kid to act like he did.

But his boxing career is untouchable. He did some pretty phenomenal stuff.

Why should Carl Froch have to justify his opinion in the first place? Makes no damn sense.

Its kinda like with Tyson. He hasn't won a serious fight in almost 25 years but he lives off the fame he had when he was knocking out mediocre fighters for a 3 year stretch.

Did you just admit being a religious bigot?
