Nothing but massive respect for Carl Froch. The man is a true warrior. He was a great fighter.

[@joeboyd8702]

Thanks for uploading. I always enjoyed watching Carl Froch box. I always used to visualize boxing him when I was training too.

[@gavinroberts1921]

Froch you not as good as you make out. You blocked shots with your jaw ffs. Hope the sun comes out and you get out calzaghes shadow.

[@lottierose8668]

true hard man ,british legend

[@Stan-town-man]

I don’t like froch’s personality. But what a fighter. What a career. One tough bastard that’s for sure

[@erikmurray3661]

Couldn't have said it better myself

[@francisjtuk]

No question about it Froch was a tremendous fighter. Looks like he's been crafted out of iron. Very tough dude.

[@jackcomer263]

5:36 Carl sounding like Brent there lol

[@davidgould5708]

Definitely stopped too soon. Referee was a joke!

[@swanseagunner2046]

Best punch in British super middleweight boxing history fact

[@bodysciencetricks986]

I think Carl Froch is in the top 10 boxers of all time his raw strength and granite chin just made him the most exciting fighter to watch in my generation

[@ronandunphy7371]

I agree very limited but fitness,chin,and a all round puncher

[@martinduggan9180]

Good chin Good jab Great uppercut Big heart Respect sir

[@michaellindsay7931]

I never realised he was the guy who knocked out George Groves in front of 80,000 people at Wembley Stadium, he's never mentioned it.

[@ericgeorge5483]

Wanker.

[@ritchski1]

Carl is a very vain and conceited man. Groves exposed that, which is why froch and his family hated him

[@SUPERLEEDSYRA]

I can understand abit why people say this, but I look at it another way about how he comes across, I think for him to get to the levels he got to in his career, he had to be all about him, the work and training he put in since he was a kid, in a solitary sport, just made him that way, abit self absorbed. Because he had to be. Boxing is the hardest sport in the world, you don't play boxing, you haven't got mates in there with you while you're getting punched in the head. For me, this documentatary shows how much the man loves his wife and his kids. He's achieved more than most of us can only dream of, and fair play to him for that.

[@willybigspuds]

You may have a point there. I still respect him as a brilliant fighter and a good man though

[@nelp.950]

Nobody is perfect and Groves is actually a weaker man.

[@frankiekl87]

[@Sean-cx4jk]

Amazing fighter fought the best 1 after the other. Shame not every fighter has his attitude and bottle. Legend.

Just lovely to see what a great family man Carl Froch is...he's truly a rich man.

[@andymax1697]

I think she is with him for his money yeah. I Think she is with him for the money

[@tom_williams8152]

Like him as a fighter, but just seems so arrogant

[@tedstan9734]

I think you have to have an element of arrogance to be that good. Some confuse arrogance with incredible self belief. And you cant be as good as that if you dont really believe in what your doing. We have to remember that boxing is a very short career. Carl Froch is a British/world boxing legend.

[@simontuffs4106]

@@tedstan9734 There's lots of boxers out there, and none with the arrogance of Carl, he believes he was given a gift, if he really believes that, why is he so arrogant, surely he should be humble.

[@mikebryson9350]

It's not arrogance or self belief he has narcissistic personality disorder simple as that. George groves knew it .

Best one ever 💀😂

[@johnmould2112]

Absolute warrior, with out a doubt one of England's best boxers in 30 years .I think carl would have beaten joe c.But we will never know.

[@vinnybrignano1658]

Carl was a warrior....more than a boxer....Him and Jo calzaghe lennox lewis....the best british boxers in history.....

[@MrScall35]

I'm sure the likes of Jimmy Wilde, Ted 'Kid' Lewis, Benny Lynch would disagree.

[@yannickjarry3750]

Lennox Lewis is canadiens.

[@MrScall35]

Lennox Lewis is British/Canadian. He was born in London and emigrated to Canada with his mother when he was 12 years old.

[@stevenlamb2142]

Great fighter, calazage would have schooled him though!

[@LetsGoBoxing]

Steven Lamb yes I’ve always said that too

[@motorhead4870]

Doubt it, Joe calzage whole career was a snooze fest

[@paulmcdonough1093]

nah

[@nelp.950]

Styles make fights,Carl's was a bad matchup for Calazage.

[@Lmkarimi]

Yeah Calazage was extremely fast Carl was extremely slow . Advantage Calazage . Conditioning was even both superb condition always . I have to give Froch his props he always won the hard way more heart less talent .

[@garycoughlan9169]

Just not likable,but good to watch

[@nelp.950]

But liking is for girls,fighters are to be respected.

[@mrtibbz10]

@@nelp.950 Fact, I was at Wembley as a fan of the fighter and knew nothing about him personally and could care less. I judge fighters as just that.

[@Earisu11]

Miss him already... watched him since i was a kid and never have i seen this man not deliver in the ring. The epitome of what a true fighter is and so thankful he carried on boxing. Carl vs Joe would have been the best fight in british history for me, and although i like Joe too, i can't respect him as much as Carl simply for ducking Carl when he had so much time to take the fight, plus denying us fans what we all know would of been another 2 animals going at it.

[@staffh3815]

Didnt duck Carl they were different levels at the time Joe would have eat him anyways

[@thetaffia.]

@@staffh3815 without a doubt joe would of mauled him

[@joebriggs8106]

Calzaghe woulda fucking schooled him, behave

[@sugarray6250]

Froch was a nobody back then similar status to Degale when Froch was champion. No one wanted to see that fight. No one thought Froch would go on to have the career he had least above all Calzaghe if he had he would have taken the fight. Calzaghe would have schooled him the way he did Lacy.

[@fireball8767]

Ward did school him & he's still bitter about that to this day

[@kevinell6605]

Love to hate the man ...but you cant deny him respect !

[@nelp.950]

Carl was very underrated and under appreciated,Top 🖐 British fighter👏👏

[@dandraw5206]

Carl frotch once knocked out 80000 fans in front of George groves at Wembley.

[@7th.trumpet]

0:33 "it's just somthing you're born with..its a gift." Froch talking about holding the world record for eating 300 onion rings, in front of 80,000 people.

[@FormerLDBC]

a bit Cowardice or in denial of a produciton. I imagine Carl Froch specifically stated ''as long as Andre Ward is not talked about in this production then we're good.'' That's very sad.... lol

[@trickydickybeer1]

What the fuck are you on about

[@oliverm2077]

@@trickydickybeer1 ward smacking Carl about for fun, remember that?

[@simoneyschool]

Andre Ward was mentioned in part 3 of the documentary. No big deal made out of it but the defeat was acknowledged and Froch referred to Ward as the number 2 lb for lb fighter in the world at that time.

[@MeeHandle]

Are you living under a rock?

[@MeeHandle]

Andre Ward was a boring fighter. He will be forgotten.

[@ianfinney7057]

Calzaghe was to fast for him, would of beat froch everytime… but have to love the warrior style

[@mickymac6571]

joe had good speed, froch had a great chin and a good punch,would have been good to watch.

[@geoffreygoodyear3746]

Everyone has a plan until they get hit on the chin

[@davejones5404]

I'm not so sure tbh. This could have gone either way in my view. Both warriors regardless.

[@mattinterweb]

Really unlikable bloke - constantly talking himself up with no class, but he was a serious fighter with a great chin and provided some epic entertainment. No way he would have beaten Calzgie though, what planet is he on?

[@MultiRibrob]

Matt Thompson he would beat calzaghe

[@davejones5404]

There is something about Froch that I struggle with - I try really hard to like him, but then he goes and says something that makes me go 🤔 however nothing can be taken away from Carl as a boxer - never ducked anyone, anywhere and is a true legend of the sport.

Groves would of won if we would of stuck with Adam booth

Carl Froch is the most underrated boxer in history.

Carl is up there for me. A really tough, hard hitting brave warrior who deserved his titles, he earned them ! Nobody can take that way from him.

Carl legand. Shame calazage fight didn't happen.

[@pink43560]

Froch is a Beast! Great fighter & boxer. Fights against Pascal, Butte & Kessler were classics.

[@danielcharlton1448]

What a legend

[@timmytibs8438]

The first groves fight Froch should have been stopped not groves! He got robbed but the 2nd fight no questions who won that 1

[@corneliussmiff2773]

Stopped why?

[@kevingriffiths9787]

Let's get this straight, Carl Froch wasn't in the same league as Joe Calzaghe. Smoke his boots? Carl couldn't lace Calzaghe's boots. He was lucky against Jermain Taylor and George Groves the first time.

[@mikel4159]

The first fight between Froch and Groves was awesome, Groves was doing fucking brilliant, was that cos Froch didn't take him seriously? I dunno, but I believe Groves is one of 2 people to deck Froch in his pro career and he was hurt, look at him when he got up, his legs weren't there. I do think it was stopped early, if you look back at it yes Groves got wobbled, but he was still defending himself, he was moving and throwing back. Not to say I don't think Froch may have stopped him a little later, it could well of happened, I just think it was stopped a little early.

[@benjohnson3612]

I don’t think any other fighter wins this fight after the knockdown other than Froch. People acting like Froch stopped the fight himself and turn on him. Absolute joke. Isn’t the rule if you don’t defend yourself the ref stops it. Groves head down, hiding under the red with his arms by his side stumbling forward. If he’s doing that and the ref doesn’t stop Froch 100% puts him to bed within seconds. So made up he chip barmed him in the 2nd fight. Groves mentally got the better of Froch in the 1st fight, the 2nd fight Froch mentally destroyed Groves, and done it without saying anything negative and engaging in any petty shit. Froch is a legend and he won me 2K too with the 8th round KO. Other than Liverpool winning the league and champions leagues, that knockout is up there with my best sporting moments 👊🏻

[@martincarstensen8527]

In front of how many?

[@sour3000]

I think it was 80,000..? But I can't quite remember where!!! 🤔😂

[@contactinspect]

Brilliant! i was there wembley part of the 80k

[@STEVO-hn5su]

Kinda coming round to him now. But he was a total prick when he tried to call out Calzaghe....

[@michaelorsini9695]

The only thing George Groves had going for him in both fights vs Carl was a rather pathetic mental game and in the end, even that failed him.

[@henrylogman5368]

As good a fighter froch was by fuck is he hard to listen to , he’s found his perfect match there with his bird - as good as she looks by fuck is she hard on the ears aswel 😂😂

[@omgisthatvik]

I'm surprised Eddie Hearn didn't ask for more air time.

[@Jay-fd9ef]

I love Carl but to be truly world class he should of took a rematch vs Ward........ Lennox Lewis is deemed a hall of famer cos hes beat everyone who beat him so Froch would be world class if he came back to beat Ward .... but a true warrior with an iron chin ....concrete respect ......and it was most definatly a shocking stoppage first time round vs Groves and he should of admitted that hence the boo's

[@kevoconnor145]

It's hard to fight a guy in a rematch who only fought 3 times in 3 and a half years because of injury and contract issues with his promoter. Carl was retired by the time Andre came back full time.

[@panzerriff]

Yeah the first Groves fight was a premature stoppage,but come on Groves was hurt and fading and Froch was coming on.Does anybody really think Groves would have made it through that round,or heard the final bell?I don't think so.But the ref should have gave him a chance...

[@Jay-fd9ef]

I agree which is why he cant be called world class as he hasnt beaten them who beat him .

[@kevoconnor145]

@@Jay-fd9ef Absolutely ridiculous comment. Hopkins never beat Taylor, so B-Hop wasn't World Class then? Pacquio never beat Floyd, so he isn't World Class either? Julio César Chávez never beat De La Hoya or Kostya Tszyu so he was just 'good' then? De La Hoya never beat Floyd so another World Champion who by your criteria wasn't world class?? Your comments are amongst the most ludicrous I've ever heard from a boxing 'fan'.

One of the true British greats in my opinion. Only Lennox Lewis, who i belive to be the best in the world & joe calzaghe better him. I prefer carl as a fighter over joe but as joe was undefeated i think he has to pip carl in the rankings, though carl fought the better fighters. Joe fought some good fighters but his two best were well past their best. Carl fought the best at the top of their game, a true warrior of the ring. Pure heart & grit in every fight, one of the greats 👍

[@FIGHTERFAB]

Even though it was very important to mention The Ward fight,and was not.I really for some reason LOVE to watch this man fight! Only reason I can think is ,He's kinda like the last of the old school fighters and he probably realized it after Ward and so retired shortly after .Much Respect Carl...you deserve it.

[@spottingem6171]

Lots of respect for the man a proper Hagler, Nigel Benn, Roberto Duran, warrior type of fighter

[@DocTheGuitar]

I know what I am about to say is predictable but...If Froch and Calzaghe fought I think Froch would have either knocked him out in the 9th or 10th or Calzaghe would have won on points either way it would have been an amazing fight but I don't blame Calzaghe for not fighting him, why should he have done, it could have potentially ruined his legacy. Both were great fighters but I admire Carl a little bit more.
