Carl 'Cobra' Froch Apprecation Thread

[bravestone]

He's made a fool outta me i never thought he'd become half the fighter he has, i picked Taylor over him, then Dirrell, then thought Kessler would slice him up for a stoppage but that was very very close, i then picked Abraham, Ward and Bute too! The guy has fought everyone and he entertains too! Pure warrior, granite chin, subtle skills, fitness and conditioning, Iron will, size, presance and solid power make The Cobra a force to be reckoned with!
Its his attitude that sets him apart though he is what u want in a fighter, boxing would be a better place if we had more Carl Froch's in it!

He goes into Terminator mode when he gets a guy hurt, it's scary When Kessler hit him and he just stood there and hurt him back, he drops his hand and goes for the kill!

Carl who? dude is a bum.

[Skip Bayless]

i dont like his style but the guy is tough as nails

[LacedUp]

You can say what you want about Froch, his style and his funny bursts sometimes, but he showed himself as a true champion yesterday. I will always support him (unless against Kessler).

He's a real man's man and I hope he takes Ward.

Precisely.

Froch was the betting underdog against;

Taylor
Dirrell
Abraham
Bute

Heavily in some of those.

He fights the best consistantly and beats the best most of the time.

It's amazing what he's managed a achieve considering what was expected from him.

I rate underdog wins VERY highly. The best wins are from Hall of fame calibre fighters turning the tables in a fight they shouldn't be winning. Where is the glory otherwise?

I also thought Pascal would have him!

Yeah when u beat the odds time after time that really says something about your character. I remember watching him vs Dodson and the like and thinking - yeah he's "GOOD" but he'll get mangled on the world stage with that defence and the lack of speed...
He's someone kids in the game can really look up to.

I think he has been improving his whole career, but from the Ward loss on he has really stepped up his game and really come into his own. I think its just the belief in himself he has now.

I picked him to lose every fight he's had since Pascal outside of Yusuf Mack and last night and he consistently proves me wrong.

I think Froch is better than ever at this moment in time.

Yeah clearly at his best right now. How would he do against Ward? Again id have to pick against him, Ward is so sharp and skillful. That said if he can make it happen in the UK and really lets his hands go with those raiding attacks he's been using he has a chance. Remember Darnell Boone had this guy down.

I think the fight will happen and Ward will win it well on points but its a better fight now than it was when they fought, Froch has progressed a lot. Besides if S.O.G wants to stay at SMW who the hell else can he fight? Froch is clearly the top challenger to his dominancy in the division.

As a boxer I'm not really a fan of Froch, but as a fighter I've got huge respect for the man.

I find myself appreciating the more technical aspects of boxing. Froch is one of the few men in the sport who consistently beats opponents who are better boxers than himself.

It takes a special kind of will to do that. The man is a warrior.
