    Well good for Carl. Thanks for all the great fights, Champ!

    Just kinda' sorry I probably won't get to hear his commentary as I don't get Sky.

    Anyhow, good luck in the new gig!

    War Cobra!!

        Hard to find a tougher resume for 12 fights in a row out there. I doubt there is one.

        Hes right about his legacy doe

        I'm gonna leave him in my P4P list cuz I don't think hes really gonna retire just yet

          Very good resume, but damn, it feels like there is a big win missing in his resume. Nonetheless he went through one of the toughest lineup's of his time. Really just Mayweather and Pacquiao had a better resume than him from 2008 to 2014, close 4th goes to Hopkins in that span.

            His final fight was his most memorable, defeating arch-rival George Groves in a rematch in front of 80,000 at Wembley Stadium.

            Very very good fighter. Biggest loudmouth ever and often didn't back it up. He never wanted to rematch ward and what was that bull about posting a pic of him flexing and saying he's too strong for ggg only to retire? Even he didn't believe he beat Dirrell. Every fighter should be able to retire without people saying he's ducking some young fighter because there will always be up and comers but the way he handled himself really took away from what a good fighter he was.

              I didn't know Froch until the Taylor fight and since then, I have been a big fan of his. Why does he need to fight Golovkin? Carl Froch has already proven himself against the best i.e. Kessler, Pascal, Bute, Abraham, and Ward. He is definitely a hall of famer and a throwback fighter. He will be missed

                I dont disagree he's a very good fighter but you ask why he should fight ggg? Because he just posted a pic saying he was too strong for him only to retire.

                    I dont mean to sound like a hater, I actually really like how he fights and his heart. I just hate all the empty talk. Great career.

                      He posted a picture so shouldn't retire?
