It was quite strange hearing Froch go on about Khan's chin as well, seeing as Froch has been hurt in his last 2 fights. His poor defence is cracking his chin fight by fight.

difference between getting hurt and laid out compared to getting up of the floor and beating up your opponent.

i didn't get it the first sixty times.

Your dead right.

It reads like I care more than I actually do in reality.

Khan's alright. I just disagree with the brainwashing programme and PR machine that goes along with it all.

fair play

wow, khan's alright? and the brainwashing and pR around him is part of a much bigger context, you mean?

i never thought i'd see the day

I never said there wasn't.

I'm interested to hear what Froch says when he gets knocked out, though.

No it's called media whoring "ooh look at me, look at me, don't look at him look at me"

froch may be arrogant.

There's no maybe about it.

but he is quite a funny guy.

Not really, I know plenty of funnier people.

what do you want him to do?? praise "king Khan"

No he should fight more and talk less then maybe people will pay him more attention.

you sound like a stuck up areshole to be honest.

You on the other hand sound like a cunt.

it is good banter between froch and khan. it is khan that is coming off 2nd best

Popularity contest is it?

froch clearly doesn't crave all the media attention. how often do you see froch talk?? not alot! he does alot of fighting at the highest level. so more people will pay attention to him if he doesn't talk?? what a spastic

froch's chin always holds up in the end tho. i don't knw how he wasn't ko'd in the pascal fight tho he took huge shots. why is it strange for froch to talk about khan's chin every person on this forum says he has a poor chin so why can't froch say it?

MrBoxingUK2 wrote:froch clearly doesn't crave all the media attention.

Then why does he have a pop at every opportunity?

Thank fuck!

he does alot of fighting at the highest level.

I agree and fair play to him.

so more people will pay attention to him if he doesn't talk??

More people will pay attention to him if they see him do what he is supposed to do on a regular basis ie. fight.

what a spastic

Playground insults? Well done

Our Carl speaks sense yet again. I'm a fan of Amir and I like the lad, but he shouldn't get so narked by any criticsm he recieves IMO

racist

Froch can say what he wants - but it's unnecessary for a champ.

Sounds like sour grapes and the interview reads that way. Very contradictory piece from him.

HE HAS BEEN FIGHTING YOU SPANNER

I usually think Froch comes across as a proper dickhead, possibly mainly due tothe twatty Hennessey PR department, but he comes across well here, being pretty fair. Dont complain about him talking about Khan when the interviewer asks him 10 Khan questions

2 times a year, would you call that regular?

Ho ho ho

Paquiao has only fought twice this year, 3 times last year and twice in 2007, twice a year for a world champion is about normal.

the guy doesn't have a clue about top level boxing. when you fight the best it is harder negotiating and finding a right date for the fight.

Pacquiaos a cool guy tho.

froch is telling the damaging truth, & i think it's through bitterness.froch has had to graft to get a shot & open doors & his promoter has got him nothing on his own terms,where as khan can steer his career pretty much were he wants earning riches D froch is jealous of khans coverage simple as.

I'm glad this article has appeased the tension between pro-Froch and pro-Khan fans.

x2

P4P whose better?

Second thoughts don't go there.

I would like to see Carl get more limelight than Khan as he has fought much better fighters.
For example compare the two:

Froch
World level Pascal, Taylor, Dirrell,
Euro level: Tatevosyvan
British: Magee, Reid, Dodson, Barney, hague, Page

Khan

World level; Salita, Kotelink, Barrera, Prescott loss
Euro level, Kristinason
British;Lawton, Earl, Limond, Gomez

It obvious that Froch has fought and beaten much better opponents.

I like Froch - he's a proper fighter imo, willing to face anyone, wants to take on whoever is regsarded as the best. He seems to have a good sense of humour & although he may have criticised Khan, Amir is certainly not the only fighter to be criticised.

Carl will not underestimate Kessler even though Mikkel looked completely out of sorts against Ward!

But what is so obvious?When you list them like that they appear very simillar.You could argue Reid is bigger than any name Khan has beat at British level,but he was well past it and inactive when he boxed Carl.I think Earl,coming of a thrilling world title loss,acheived more than the rest and even Limond and Gomez top Barney,Hague and Page.You can have the Euro and i have stated my opinion on the world in an earlier post.Dont forget,Dirrell has'nt achieved anything yet.A close points loss to Froch does not put you above the likes of Kotelnik
