    Yeah that accent is disturbing to say the least, just goes right through me.

      It's extremely hard to dislike Froch.

      I used to stronglyl dislike him as posters from 2009 onward will know very well but he's managed to make me completely change my opinion on him.

      I can see why people might not like his style because he's very clumsy and not the most skilled and nice to watch in the world but on the other hand he's a tough as nails warrior who provides exciting fights.

        Says Ali's been beat a few times, says OUTSIDE of boxing Ali is the greatest for what he's done for the sport...

        Says he's not a fan of Ali's actual boxing "sitting on the ropes taking shots which he does in a lot of his fights". Says he likes to see someone like Roy Jones instead "speed, skill"

        Obviously this arrogant Froch needs to go back and watch Ali before his 3 year ban.

            How is this arrogant in any way?

            All he's saying is he isn't a fan of Ali. He's allowed to not be a fan of Ali.

              It's like a law that you have to love Ali otherwise you're evil

                  People want guys who fight everybody, guys who leave it all in the ring, guys who are in exciting fights, guys who tell it like it is.....Carl Froch is all those things.
                  This.

                  I can't think of a fighter I've enjoyed watching more the last six years. He's everything fight fans say they want in terms of sack and matchmaking. He doesn't win them all, but he fights them all and beats most.

                  I'll vote for him to the HOF without blinking.

                    The only boxer i have ever disliked i think is JCC jr, but that was more because how he wiped his ass with boxing as a whole. At the same time nationalistic butthurt fans think people just hating on their boxer or "dislike" them when people point out their decline, or that they are just not as good anymore . Carl froch falls into that declining category as long as Ward is in his weight class he will have to settle for being #2 .

                      Pretty hard to get into the HOF when you were never the best fighter in the weight class you were fighting in.

                      I'm an American so the microscope isn't on Froch here like it is in the UK, but from what I've seen Froch has been pretty humble in the fights I've seen. Not to mention it appears as though he's willing to fight anyone, anywhere.
