This diary would be an interesting read, to what he has done over the years when training for his fights. I wonder if he will ever let it anyone see it? Be good to see his progression from his early fights to his last?

most likely more than one diary. He's probably got a few of them in a little shoe box somewhere. Wonderful autobiography Carl Froch has - he's even playing the arrogant so and so in the jacket cover - I almost put it back down, but his book is anything but like this persona he puts across. Really good read. His thoughts on Terry Edwards were interesting.

Yeah? Right I might get it then. It's been a while since I read a sporting autobiography

Does anyone actually keep a diary these days?

Facebook probably took over from diary's?

A diary is supposed to be private. Facewank is the complete opposite. Just full of people who for some reason think other people care that they are in the supermarket "At the supermarket LOL" (please like) or needy women posting the best picture they can find of themselves, then dining of the obviously fake empty compliments from like minded people.

Ya cannae, ya jist cannae lump the diary in the same boat as that kind a pish.

Made me laugh for some reason.

True, facecook is a terrible comparison.

It's like reading an Irvine Welsh novel.

I know lots of guys who still keep journals and training logs. Invaluable to see where to manipulate food for body composition changes, fat loss, weight changes. Through seeing what has been done before, you can play with carbs and cals. DItto training. Although my experience is with weights, I have all my sessions recorded and easily checkable going back 7 years. So useful to see progression, what was working at what time to correlate that a bodypart was particularly good at a certain time compared to now, so I can then see what I was doing to that bodypart at that time.

Not the same as boxing but I imagine there are similarities as they are hard consistent trainers and there will be certain threads that are the same throughout training guys.

I've never really thought of Froch as having a great style - hence he got punched a lot, but he must have such a winning mentality - an ability/ determination to prevail. He spent several years boxing with the back of his knee (ACL) - at least I think that's where it is, missing! It was only went he went to get it checked out they discovered it wasn't there, he'd snapped it playing 5-aside and not realised. His ability to withstand injury and nurse himself better, yet stay at the top of the sport is very impressive. Super fighter.

Exactly.

Monday - went to the supermarket, asked the cashier if he knew I'd knocked out George Groves at Wembley in front of 80,000 people
Tuesday - asked Rachel if she wanted to watch me knock out George Groves at Wembley in front of 80,000 people whilst I knocked one out
Wednesday - did same as I did on Monday
Thursday - phoned up my brother Lee and asked him if wanted to come round and watch me knock out George Groves at Wembley in front of 80,000 people
Friday - knocked on out alone while watching Carl Froch knock out George Groves at Wembley in front of 80,000 people
Sarurday - commentated on a fight and asked Mayweather if he knew I'd knocked out George Groves at Wembley in front of 80,000 people
Sunday - Rachel cooked a roast so tasty; I told her it was nearly as good as knocking out George Groves at Wembley in front of 80,000 people

Etc etc

Exemplary work Mr. Reggae

very good, made me chuckle

Thank you all people, hope the post raised a smile (though I'm fairly sure reading it did not feel as good as knocking out George Groves at Wembley in from of 80,000 people )
