Why is Carl Froch called the Cobra when he is the complete opposite.....

[crazyboy867]

when i think of a cobra i think of speed and fast reflexes like mayweather or roy jones. carl froch is the opposite. he is slow with his hands and feet. only thing he's got is ton of heart and power.

maybe he should be called another animal like a gorilla or buffalo instead.

good win though.

Ask rachel why is he called the cobra!!

[kardsufur]

I agree I mean it's no diss on him, i think froch is far more powerful than a cobra. there are just other animals more fitting to him. But then again his recent knockout of Groves was very Cobra like.......

Now you see where I'm coming from when they call Floyd a warrior.

[GhostBlade]

It's a catchy name used for marketing purposes. You people are way too bored to be debating this.

[The Gambler1981]

It is a cool nickname, although you are right it kind of doesn't fight. At least his nickname is not mongoose which are quicker than cobras

[Dr Rumack]

Danny 'Swift' Garcia is even worse.

[White_Knight]

He's called the Cobra because he is long and stringy. I'm guessing this is why Hearns had the cobra moniker too.

A better question is why is Pulev called the cobra when he is beefy?

Lol Well he struck Groves very quickly and left him in a paralytic state.
