      not in america but in the uk sure he's twice the man and fighter calzaghe is/was.

      i consider him the uk's best fighter at the moment but he can't change the face of boxing when losing like he did to andre ward.

      if he beats ward he might actually be given that honor.

        I'm not saying that Froch is indeed our lord and savior the Flying Spaghetti Monster I'm just saying I've never seen the two of them in the same place at the same time...food for thought.

            Theres a reason that bbc lied about him getting schooled by Jermaine taylor. A fight he took a pay cut and got paid less, went to America and brooked him.

            Look at the Kessler froch fight 2, ward and co hated Froch because they knew it would mean Ward may have to come to the Lions dens and beat the Froch in England.

            They give him his big moment on Skysports when they thought he was going to get Mullered by Bute.

            And its backfired. He made the likes of Floyd Mayweather and other cherry pickers get exposed, as froch is now getting the world wide exposure, and look at the fights you got this year.

            Froch is the reason that Fury hayes happening, cleverly Kovalev happened, canelo Floyd happened, povetikin Wlad happening...

            Theres no where to hide because of froch willingness to fight anyone anywhere, the Fans took note and now they expect everyone to be like Carl.

            Like him or not he has literally changed boxing forever...
            I appreciate Froch, and like him well enough, but changed the face of boxing forever? GTFOH!

              Lets be honest i love froch as a fighter but good looking? I dont think so. Calzaghe was a good looking man but froch no. Other than that eveything else about him is badass.

                but you've got to be a complete moron to think he's changed the face of boxing...

                and that's the point you're trying to make....

                he amongst several very good fighters and that's it, no more no less.
                Not one thing you have said survives even the most effortless scrutiny.

                I do not think Froch has changed the face of boxing.

                Since capturing the vacant WBC belt against Jean Pascal his record of fights in terms of caliber of opponents is unparalleled. That's not my opinion, that is a fact.

                One could make the argument that that and the revolutionary super six tournament has had a a positive influence on recent and future match ups in terms of competitiveness.

                There is a lot more to it than that and for the OP to say Froch is solely responsible for the improved match making in recent years is simply wrong.

                    Yeah, can't believe he's taken the rematch immediately. There are a couple of others out there on strong runs too, Devon Alexander is one.
