Comments Thread For: Carl Froch: If No Chavez, 'Strong Chance' That I'll Retire

[Real Talk85]

Beating up a stoner would be absolutely massive for mah legacy, the legacy of Carl 'the Cobra' Froch.

He isn't, it's a money grab. Carl has been in with close to everyone you could ask win lose or draw. He deserves this cash fight.

will be sad to see a warrior like froch leave the sport. he is a true ATG future hall of fame legend.

Slow the roll there turbo. Froch will be lucky to crack the HOF. He's def no legend or ATG.

I'd say he is.

Why wouldn't he be?

He's fought great competition consistently.

Thanks for the great fights champ.

His trainer probably told him degale is a difficult match up and I think froch isn't motivated by that fight

[TLC8]

Why is Froch acting as if fighting Chavez Jr would be career defining? Sure he'll get a decent payday but who is Chavez Jr and what has he done that's so great that Froch is basing his decision to retire on whether he fights Chavez or not?

Because he can stop a name like Chavez. Froch gets stopped himself by GGG. Chavez makes more sense to go out on.

Chavez are you crazy Roach??that kid no want no part with you hahaha

Step up to 175 and fight BHop or Stevenson.

I do unsterstand where he comes from. At the age of 37 he's already accomplished what he needed to. While he's still a distant number 2 behind Ward he wants a quality name where he can earn a good payday. Chavez is the right name. GGG is also a good name. Who else is out there for him where he can earn a good pay day? While Ward has his number, he isn't much of a draw not even in his hometown.

yes, similar thoughts here.

Chavez Jr is the target only because it would be 1. Vegas 2. PPV.

I think that if Ward would be Vegasd with as much $$ then Froch would probably take that too.

GGG just wont get Froch either of those.

If Froch cant get Chavez in Vegas then walking away might be enough; it's his career to decide how to end it.

A possible alternative would be for Hearns to get Ward over to London O2 but it wont be Vegas and it ownt be as muich $$$ as Chavez!!

[IronDanHamza]

I don't blame him.

He's 37 and has nothing left to prove.

I don't begrudge him the fight either, nor the money.
