[shenmue]

Call me mad, say i don't know **** about Boxing. but i love watching Carl Froch fight. And i don't understand why any Boxing fan wouldn't.

This again?

It's amazing how he's managed to go in the run he has over the past 5 or 6 years despite being so crap. He's unorthodox but he's effective. He isn't the most gifted fighter you'll ever see but if you watch him closely he's better than he's sometimes given credit for. He's good at controlling distance, his long arms and casual style means the can throw punches from angles other fighters can't. His long arms can make it difficult for him to fight on the inside which makes his ability to keep fights on the outside even more important. His foofwork isn't the best and he can look clumbsy, and bad at times but he's found a stlye that works for him and although you won't see it in any 'boxing training manual' it works for him and not many fights have been able to get the better of him.

All you guys talk about is granite chin, exciting, blah, blah blah. He gets hit way too much, because he is not good. He is defensively inept, his footwork is horrible. I just watched this Kessler fight right now. I though Kessler won it; he did the better work. He had him staggered all of the place and he is supposed to be elite? GTFOH with that bull****. I like boxing and I enjoy skills; which he is obviously lacking. I know that is not the best the UK has to offer, because I watch a lot of UK fighters.

But this dude talks himself up as a great, however I have yet to see anything that is above average about him.

Really?

Prepare for immediate humiliation.

Quality post here.

I remember when almost everyone disliked Froch, including me. Got to admit he grew on me and his choice of competition is always first rate.

[SouthpawAL]

I see what you're saying, but 3 out of his last 8 opponents have gotten the better of him. 2 of them have made him look like complete ****, yet he touts himself as some sort of great when he is just an average fighter. I respect that he has gone as far as he has with his limited skills, but he is not that good, let alone great.

I think Martin Murray would beat his ass. Cleverly, Degale, Macklin, Barker. I'm not hating, I'm just calling it how I see it. Kessler was tagging the **** out of him. He talks **** about Ward is a spoiler. What the **** does that mean? He just stood his ground in the pocket and beat you the **** up. Dude is sloppy as **** and overrated as ****. Talking about Calzaghe; what the **** Calzaghe was an excellent boxer.

Macklin and Barker are struggling at Middleweight a division south of Froch. De Gale but not Groves? I assume ur a Groves hater too then yeah. Either way neither one is ready for Froch. Martin Murray is a good fighter but there's no special effects with him and Froch is simply bigger and better.
Ward is an excellent fighter and better than Froch yes but there is no shame in being a lesser boxer than Andre Ward. Calzaghe was a biitch

[Wenger Is God]

If Andre Ward is the only guy to have decisively beaten him in the toughest run of fights in recent history, then he must be doing something right.

[black.ink]

If Froch isn't that good, why is Ward so highly regarded?

Ward's win over mediocre Froch obviously means nothing in your world, so what has Ward done otherwise?

If Andre is p4p top 2-3 right now, a win over Froch must have been a bit of a deal, no?

lmao, tis true though, the alt OP deserves a neg bukkake
