Carl Froch

[leighton]

Sad to hear that Carl Froch has announced his retirement from boxing. Talk about a fighter who never ducked anyone Froch is the man. He boxed the best fighters out there. The list is as long as your arm. From his fights in the Super 6 to the wars with Mikel Kessler and to a extent the fights with George Groves.

Froch will go down as 1 of the greatest to fight from the UK he is my top 5 fighters from the UK of all time. With Joe Calzaghe , Lennox Lewis , Naz and Ricky Hatton my list always changes by the way. Froch got in with the best that was there and was top class not the greatest technically but a heart of a lion and great determination to win. His only losts have come from Kessler who he got his revenge on and Ward who is a pound for pound great not a bad way to go out too. Beating Groves at Wembley stadium.

Its a shame he never got to fight Calzaghe and to some extent not fighting GGG but if his heart isnt in fighting any more then he is best off calling it a day. I cant wait to see him on sky as a pundit in the coming years he be good.

He fought at Wembley in front of 80,000 people you know.

Read his book. It's fucking dire. I told him as much when I seen him in Vegas. That I had read his book I mean. Not that it was ratpiss

Yeah; he does tend to remind people of that. A lot. Similar to a certain leg!

 

[Paul Lake's Left Knee]

Was a warrior, not quite elite or P4P best, but a very very good fighter, or as he would say faahter.

 

[Never Mind The Pollocks]

I like him - gets a bit of stick but I think he's always been good value for money, entertaining in and out of the ring.

Cracking punch to turn out Groves' lights in the rematch;



Shook him down to the soles of his boots.

He truly was a Warrior. He would take on anybody and a I mean anybody !

Gennady Golovkin vs Froch would've been brilliant.

Shame we ain't going to see it.
