His on screen confidence has drawn in a few posters on here in my opinion. He could have got his arse in gear and left Hennessy a long time ago if he really wanted the big fights, but he's happy to stick with Hennessy and top the bill at the Nottingham arena. Winning a world title isn't necessarily the answer either. Look at Witter and what he did after picking up the WBC title.
Froch is gonna be just another decent British fighter who may or may not pick up an alphabet title and defend it in Britain. What British boxing needs is more guy's who will take the step into elite class and stay there. That's where we always drop off. Froch isn't ever going to do that.
Considering Carl is fighting for the WBC title in his next fight, how the hell can you say he's gonna just be another British fighter who may or may not pick up an alphabet title?
As far as Carl stepping into the elite class; he has called out Joe Calzaghe, but Calzaghe wasn't interested. He twice agreed to fight Denis Inkin, only for Inkin to pull out both times. He agreed to travel to America to fight Jermain Taylor, only for Taylor to decide to fight a faded Jeff Lacy instead. What more can Carl do? He can't make these people get in a ring with him. Judge the people who choose to duck Carl, instead of judging him.

A simple question for you.
If Froch is going the traditional route, why isn't he challenging / fighting Christian Sanavia ?
A simple answer for you.......
Several attempts have been made in the past for Carl to fight Sanavia. Froch was even happy to travel to Sanavia's home country and challenge him, but Sanavia simply wasn't interested.
Is Froch Ironman or something in disguise ?
On this thread alone it's everyone else's fault.
1/ Calzaghe
2/ Taylor
3/ Inkin
4/ Sanavia
Sorry, I just don't buy it.
There is a simple common denominator - a Promotor not willing to pay the price.
FFS if Pascal gets added to the sob story list, I'll pull my teeth out.

But Froch is happy to fight on other promoter's bills. He has often offered to step in as an opponent for Joe Calzaghe when Sports Network have advertised a TBA opponent on certain shows featuring Joe Calzaghe in the last few years. Carl would have fought on a Lou Di Bella show had the Taylor v Froch fight come off. He also fought Brian Magee on a Frank Maloney show and knocked the Irishman into next week. So if the fight and money is right, I think Froch would fight on any show regardless who the promoter is. So even if Mick Hennessy isn't "willing to pay the price" other promoters aren't willing to let their fighters face Carl either, regardless who is promoting the show.
26, I know you have major doubts about Hennessy, but I still think Hennessy Sports will get the fight that sees Carl Froch crowned WBC world champion before the end of this year.

The sooner this Pascal fight is announced the happier I'll be, I can't fcuking wait for the business end of Our Carls career!! He's a bad bad man, he's a 12 stone Antonio Margarito and he's more than ready to be let off the leash. Some poor bastards are in for a right fcuking shoeing!!
