    I like him better than calzaghe...

    what I don't like is him ducking bhop and ward (after they had already fought and he lost. bhop was willing to move down and fight him in the UK before and after he fought kovalev but froch never responded. froch brushing off a second ward fight by saying it would be boring made me believe he wasn't the warrior I always thought he was, which is why I think him mentioning ggg is just him looking to stay relevant

      I always had the utmost respect for Froch until he started down this ridiculous twitter path. I defended him when others were attacking him for wanting to go out with a last fight in Vegas against Chavez Jr.. I defended him when he decided to let his titles go instead of defending them so that some new and deserving fighter could have a chance.

      But now he's making noise about fighting DeGale when he dropped his title instead of defending it against that same fighter? He puts out juvenile tweets directed at GGG and others? I think he is having some psychological problems and may need professional help to deal with retirement which is what he really should be thinking of instead of getting back in the ring. He should join Kessler and finally accept his fate. Whatever his problem is, the respect I once held for the man is rapidly diminishing.

      Time to hang up the gloves, Carl.

He is far from the greatest in the history division and has done more fighting on social media than in the ring.
                  So I guess Andre Ward sucks then? Because Froch is Ward's best win by far but if you hate his record so much then Ward must be a nothing because he beat "terrible record" Froch, and did worse against "talentless Abraham" than Froch who you said has the overhyped record.

                  Just saying what you're trying to say.....

                    Froch is Wards best win and I feel the Same about Ward. Wasting away talent on one big pay day they feel they deserve so early on. When some fighters it took decades... Mayweather some how made every boxer feel they deserve 50 mil a fight no less... But it took him multiple divisions and over 30 fights to get the right to get that kind of money. Same for Pac. They both deserve what kind of money they have gotten through Years and Years of hard work. While the two you mentioned cleaned out one division, now feels they have the right to be considered the best and all the money that comes with that. But they aren't the best, the best of their division yes but what have they done outside of the super six.... Nothing!
