Comments Thread For: Carl Froch: Taking a Look Back at Two Big Nights

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Carl Froch’s decision to call time on his career earlier this week prompted a lot of discussion amongst boxing fans. His in-ring achievements received unanimous acclaim, but some criticised his out-of-the-ring persona, which in my opinion is driven by a sense of humour so dry it is almost a stain.

“The Cobra” (33-2, 24 KOs) has had some massive nights: his title winning effort over Jean Pascal in December 2008, the come from behind win over Jermain Taylor (TKO 12), wins over Andre Dirrell (W SD 12), Arthur Abraham (W 12) and Glen Johnson (W MD 12) during his Super Six run.

The Lucian Bute destruction is the day I became a fan of Froch.

That night he proved me wrong one time too many.

Picked him to lose to Pascal, Taylor, Direll and Abraham. Like most, picked Bute to beat him easily and not only did that not happen he brutalised and destroyed him in 5 rounds.

Epic.

Yes Terence, he did make the right call. Heck of a career he had.

Sidenote, typo saying it was 85,000 for Dirrell bout.

Watching Froch vs Pascal now, I have seen the fight so many times & it still gets me excited. Seriously one of the best fights I've seen live and criminally underrated, no doubt its right up there among British boxing classics.

The exchanges in this fight, God damn, almost have to close your eyes and turn away at times

(not the best quality)


Really going to miss Carl Froch. I don't think any fighter has consistently provided such great moments in recent times as he did.
The epic war with Pascal
The comeback against Taylor
Putting on a clinic against Abraham when written off as usual.
The destruction of Bute
Two gruelling fights with Kessler
The comeback against Groves and finally the epic K.O ending that rivalry.

I'm proud to be a Froch fan.

Enough of this Froch nastalgia already . I'm still salty he didn't make the GGG fight happen . He still had a lot left and should have ended his career on a REAL high note (he could have beat GGG) , not a artificial one (Groves) . Can't be mad at someone retiring while all their faculties are in tact , but one more vs GGG wouldn't have made much of a difference . I give Froch the diva two thumbs down .

This coming from the same guy that claims everyone's ducking GGG , meanwhile Wards practically begging to fight him this fall . Do u just fabricate all your posts ?

Of course he didn't want to fight Froch in UK. You saw the highway robbery in the Dirrell fight. Ward beat the brakes off Froch with a broken hand. Imagine what he would when healthy. I went to the super six finale, there was no reason for a rematch. I actually like Froch a lot but let's not pretend he actually deserved or wanted to fight Ward again that much. He's always sought out the best but still.

robberies happen everywhere. you can't use that excuse. ward robs people all the time by clinching. it was a career high payday and ward didn't want it. just like the bute and stevenson fights.
