    What offensive skills does he have? He's slow, he plods, he's not athletic. He has a jab and a hook and fights like a drunken bar fighter





    Can you provide some insight as to why you think my post is wrong? Please.


    Is Carl Froch anything more then a tough guy with tough guy attributes, who got by on "will and grit" in a weak and terrible era at 168, filled with nothing but overrated fighters like himself?
    You just don't want to be wrong. If Froch had average power and little offensive skill we wouldn't even be discussing him right now.

        In the IT terms he's like WYSIWYG... He's for real and he never pretended he's anybody else... The guy was always truthful -- which makes him a real MAN...
        That's exactly what he is.... A tough ass dude who you would want by your side at a bar fight.


        But this is boxing, and he simply isn't a good boxer.



        No one can tell me what he does well and what "skills" he has besides physical attributes (LOL) Reach, Chin, Stamina, Ring IQ.


        Yeah.... great "boxer"

          And too hapless to acquire proper knowledge.

              No, this is just my opinion.


              We're talking about him because he was fortunate to fight in a weak era at SMW. I'm not dis*****g the fact that he was and is a top 168lber.... he was and is. I'm just saying he's overated as a fighter because he fought in a weak era and nobody really looks at him from a skill perspective: he doesn't have any

                He's British, he must stick together with his compatriots -- it's only marketing... Aren't you also British?

                  Exactly. Lol come on Dirk.....



                  You and everyone else know its true.



                  Carl Froch = Tough guy with tough guy attributes. ALL of his "skills" are physical attributes (Ring IQ, Stamina, Chin, Reach) he simply isn't a skilled fighter.



                  Just tell me why that isn't true if you don't think it is. Please

                      Weak era at super middle? The division has been around less than 30 years. Weak or not, he's been near the top of it for a long time.
