That's a new one.
He couldn't cope with a volcano, no wonder he turned down to face a Welsh Dragon.
I already said I can agree he wasn't shot, calm down. He wasn't at his best in terms of top level. After Froch he was looking for a pay day/trilogy to cash out where the beat down would be worth it.
He was looking for a big fight, Chavez was one of them, of course keeping a belt doesn't hurt your bargaining power, or has it ever? Dropping IBF would leave him WBA Regular ie no bargaining power.
At the end Froch was gonna run away, he got caught, you can keep denying it, but 1+1=2. Carl's hand was forced, he was content with the ending.
He turned down Calzaghe when it was offered. What if Degale turned down a fight with Froch coming off lets say one of those bums on Henessey's cards? Cuz James was ready for a while.
That options part I for one can't find online PLUS Froch was a nobody getting a shot at the best SMW who brings in $ unlike Ward, surely he could take them, no? Then again assuming options part is true.
The whole Froch wanted to be mandatory is just convenience talk.
So, he was cherry picked, but does it take away what an incredible accomplishment it is for a guy with 0 amateur exp. For someone who has been following boxing for so long surely gets it, no?
Dirrell was a green contender WHEN he faced Froch. No names, no titles. When Khan faced Chris, he had a name and a title.
I backed and picked Froch to give Groves a pasting, you're an expert on it, surely you can find the quotes.
You question my objectivity, but all you do is back fighters from the Isles and we all know where your hatred for Khan is coming from, these are the same wins you once bragged about and spent countless posts/years defending so in your own words "let's not pretend that you're being totally objective here."
