Comments Thread For: Groves: Froch Has An Awful Style, Technically Terrible!

[chocolate]

He's so terrible he beat Groves who says he's terrible.

Spot on. Wether we hate or love the stoppage in the first fight forever Groves is going to have a red L next to the fight for the rest of his life. To say a 2 x WBC champion and a reigning IBF/WBA champion to have the audacity to call him terrible when all you have won is a british and commonwealth titles is a head scratcher. Froch has been in there with the who's who of the 168lb division.

I agree that Froch has a terrible style. He is hard to look at if you favor technicians. I also feel yhat he should have lost the Dirrell fight but shame on Dirrell for never asking for a rematch after the Super 5 and Alan Green tournament ended.

All the top pundits had froch beating dirrell including the press row. Dirrells best round was round 10 which he rightfully got decuted a point. He was marked up froch was unmarked.

Dirrell is no where to be seen, bigragu sums up the fight well, althugh i had froch winning by 4 rounds...

He's so terrible that he beat Abraham better than Ward, beat Taylor who Hopkins could not beat, and has wins over Pascal and Glen Johnson who are and were world class lightheavyweights, Kessler , Dirrell, ****ed the reigning champion Bute up so bad he has never been the same and looks afraid in the ring now. Styles makes fights. A young mover was always going to give Froch problems if you looked at the Dirrell fight.

Kinda how I feel about Paquiao.

While Pac obviously has the better attributes, they are similar in the fact they're overachievers. They both always manage to surprise me in the fights I pick against them in.

Like most boxers, Froch can look good or bad against certain styles.

Was he "technically terrible" against Arthur Abraham? No. He put on a clinic. He outboxed Kessler from range with the jab in the early stages of their 2nd fight.

Against faster fighters, he can look technically inept because he has to change tack to compensate for his speed disadvantages.

Groves is right, and this is the reason I became a fan of Froch.

Because Froch is so technically wrong, he has to be tougher, work harder, work longer, be stronger, and more confident than everyone else. This guy truly wins at the highest level, off intangibles.

That's highly commendable IMO.

Groves should pay Froch a compliment at the end of the criticism. Along the lines of he is awful and technically terrible, but I take my hat off to him for all hes achieved with him being as limited as he is.

Nah he would come off as condescending,best just to be brutally honest.
