You’ve gotta love Carl… he’s misunderstood by the public as an arrogant prick, but once he engages in conversation, it’s clear that he’s just aware of his place in the world… a proper hard fucker, a great world champion, but with a ceiling on his ability that he’ll freely admit to and overcame with balls and resilience. Should be an inspiration to everyone.

Nah he's definitely arrogant, not that he's the only person in the world, and I suppose he has some right in his sport. Seems like a straight talker though, which is refreshing, but massively overrates his talent - warrior yes, but not a great boxer (just imo).

Most underrated fighter that’s come out of Britain! There’s isn’t a bad word you can say about Carl, he’s never ducked anyone, always give 110%. One of the hardest chins in world boxing. The punishment Carl could withstand and still come back firing, engine was unbelievable. Just a huge admirer of the guy!

[@Jacobe23]

That slip right hand he caught Taylor with near the end of their fight is one of the best/cleanest landed shots I've ever seen. Froch would not quit. Watched every one of his fights never saw an ounce of quit even against ward. Animal. Never anywhere near the best technically but nobody was tougher. Maybe juiced up Holyfield or coralles when he had the best comeback of all time. Or Emanuel Augustus vs Micky ward but even those guys I think would tip their hat to how tough Froch was!

@@Hitmanhart22804 I agree, but even Carl admitted in this interview that the only way he'd have beaten Joe was by KO and that Joe had a pretty good chin so that wouldn't have been easy.
