I thought I read that Froch had been offered a fight with Calzaghe but turned it down ? Anyway Froch has nothing that can be of interest to Calzaghe so Froch should stop whining and get on with being a deserved World Champion.

Head says Pac-Man, Heart says Hit-Man.

Am I the only person who doesnt rate Froch one bit?

Nope, theres plenty. He has serious technical flaws, especially in defense. But he has superb punch resistance, a huge heart, and is willing to go anywhere on Earth to fight the best fighters and give the fans the fights they want to see. He could become a breath of fresh for boxing. I hope he goes far.

You are to me, He is quite possibly my favourite fighter around at the minute, Although not technically great he has a very good chin and a huge heart his fight with Jean Pascal was a classic...

Junior Witter will fight to regain the WBC LWW title after Tim Bradley was stripped for fighting Kendal Holt instead of his mandatory challenger.

Personnally I think "Captain Charisma" should retire, or at the very least change his style. He's too old for that Brendan Ingle style.

Don't insult Ricky by comparing him to your Aussie boxing school of mediocrity.

That would be a fair assessment if the fight followed that path.

However, if Calzaghe gets caught like he did against Jones or Kessler, then he wouldn't be let out of trouble cos Froch punches considerably harder than either of them (even though the vast majority of boxing fans would not rate Froch anywhere near as good as either).

I understand what your saying, but the more footage I see in the build up to the fight, the more convinced I am that Roach's confidence and belief in his fighter is eroding.

I even think it's quite possible that Hatton cleans him out inside of 4 rounds.

As I've said before, I think most people are seriously underating and overseeing Floyd Snr's influence in a really big way - Floyd Jnr owes all his success to what his Father tought him. Add Ricky Hatton's physical strength and punching power then I think this could be his time...

No, and I can see why people don't rate him, but I (like the poster above) think he is a great fighter to watch, if not a great fighter. How people can keep knocking him though, when he's been out of his way to make a name for himself, put his career on the line and come out with a last minute knock out to retain his world title on foreign soil is beyond me. The man has the heart of a lion, hits harder than anyone else in his division and has a granite chin.
He's always winding up a big punch which can change a fight, and his style is exciting, if not defensivley sound. Remember he's only been knocked down once in his career now, and he was hardly wobbly from that.

I do however agree that his defensive technique will be his downfall one day, hopefully not for a while though.
