As a Nottingham native I was a big Froch fan from.just before he got notoriety in the super six, I remember the gym in Sneinton market having posters everywhere with Carl and the WBC belt, Around the same time I also remember selling a car stereo to his brother Lee at their house in Gedling and he gave us £25 and two bottles of beer at the door. Carl used to have all the media workouts and weigh-ins in The old market Square Nottingham city centre which was always a good event as the crowd would be hostile to his opponent. Good carrer considering Carl didn't have the best technique or skills, but won on determination and sheer will to win which is why I was a fan aswell as him being from my home town. Peace out ✌
@Anderl Blakely No disgrace in losing to Ward but considering you took the time to post this reply to everyone who said a positive thing about Froch, makes me think you must have nightmares about Froch. What a goon.
My favorite moment was the build-up to Andre Ward all the way through. Carl kept trying to press him the whole time in that face-to-face, but got absolutely squashed everytime LOL... The bitterness that stayed with him for years after makes that whole saga even more entertaining, & hilarious. Forget the initial fight, just the whole psychological warfare was amusing.
Frochs fitness was on another level. He could fight himself out of a bad situation. He couldn’t out think a good boxer but he could out-tough them. Because of that him commentary skills are poor
Second best resume in British boxing history after Lennox Lewis. That's why i will always rate him above Calzaghe, Calzaghe might of been the better techincal boxer but he fought everyone when they where shot to bits, Froch beat everyone in their primes.
That's not true. Calzaghe fought Kessler & Lacy in their primes, and Hopkins was old but went on to get some of his best every wins after the Calzaghe fight. So it was still a very good win. Froch beat Kessler, Taylor, Abraham, & Johnson when they were past their best. Got a very controversial win over a prime Dirrell. His best legit wins were Groves, Pascal, & Bute, & none of them are all time greats. There's no way Froch has the second best resume after Lewis. There's loads of British fighters with better resume's- including AJ by the way.
He beat Kessler! A prime Kessler, and did a much better job than Froch did. Fact. Also beat Lacy in a unification. Ruined him. And the Hopkins win alone is better than anything on Froch's resume. Hopkins schooled Pascal years after he lost to Calzaghe. Beat Pascal in the rematch far more convincingly than a prime Froch did. And again, this was years after the Calzaghe fight.
Anthony Mcken at that time the belts were held by a German fighter called Sven Ottke, who wouldn’t give Calzaghe a shot. Calzaghe beat some good names really, but in my view should have stepped up long ago.
Froch is a prick, but the fighter jumped in with the best, one after the other and had a massive heart and granite chin with the genuine stamina of a real 15rnd fighter.
You could do a 50 min video on froch VS groves alone... The build ups, Froch's mental wobble, the controversial stoppage, the opposing security teams heading off, the wembley push, the pushes and pulls, family members getting involved, The knockout.. Really entertaining stuff...
Warren likes to butcher a surname. To my knowledge, in polish a C is like A 'tch' in pronunciation. Ie Kownacki would be pronounced Kov-natch-ki. Woiceik is pronounced Voy-Chek. Maybe it's different with a h after it.
Froch is one of my all time favourite British fighters really enjoyed watching this video Hatman, Could you make a Chris Eubank Senior career video please. Thanx
There are a lot of better commentators out there than Carl Froch. Doesn’t pick up on traps and adjustments boxers make and yabbers superficial nonsense as if we’re watching on the radio. Bugs the hell out of me. Too simple for my liking.
Haven't watched yet but for someone as slow and easy to hit as Froch was he had an amazing career. He would make the worst top trumps card of any of the top 15 UK fighters in the last 50 years.
Can't wait for the bit you say Andre ward owned his ass in face 2 face then schooled him in ring. Finished watching very good review thought the frock fanboys might not agree. I actually liked froch then got to dislike him due to his massive ego and bully boy ways. His a decent pundit though. I prefer cazaghe both as a fighter and person don't care if you battered onion ringed groves in front of 80,000 people at Wembley stadium.
As a career SMW, it would be impossible to meet the demands of GGG asking a 38 year old Froch to boil down to 164lbs. GGG still hasn't had a fight at 168lbs either. Get GGG in with Callum Smith, now that's a fight.
I remember seeing a training clip of Froch in Tenerife where he’s running up the mountain there and sparring etc ...he actually called Joe Calzaghe enquiring about possible fight . Shame it’s not on here
Froch had an iron will and jaw, he definitely over achieved, when he started crying about Groves not being respectful he showed himself as a hypocrite and a baby
Groves turning the crowd around in the first Froch fight is one of the most remarkable things you’ve ever seen? Hatman where were you on Christmas Day 1985 when a man not only turned the whole crowd around but an entire nation as well? The man laid the foundations for the end of the Cold War with one victory. Groves doesn’t seem quite as remarkable now does he Hatman? Turning a Nottingham crowd around? Try turning the Soviet Union around?
The funny thing is that even though he was bitter towards Andre Ward, he still had him at the #1 spot in his personal P4P list. So go figure. I do like him as a boxing commentator. The guy certainly knows what he's talking about. And he managed to piss off McGregor's fans with his comments during the Mayweather fight. 😁
He hasn’t got a fucking clue commentating what are you talking about!! Gets names wrong and has zero knowledge of any of the fighters outside the obvious. Great fighter, doesn’t seem to be a boxing fan though. You are absolutely nuts mate.
When I first saw him, I wasn't impressed. He seemed flat footed and slow to get his shots off. But against Pascal and Dirrell he proved that he could get off the canvas and come from behind to knock someone out. His mental toughness was his best boxing asset. Good work Hatman!
i know he rubs people up the wrong way but he was great value for money, was he perfect ? no, but his fights were more often than not very absorbing to watch, those groves fights were two of the most memorable fights in recent times.
I remember the Buté fight and the second Kessler fight vividly. Both had me jumping round like a madman. The two fights with groves were also highly entertaining, that’s one thing you can say for froch, he was involved in fights that got your pulses racing. Barring the Ward fight, awesome fighter but an awful style to watch 🥊🥊
Cullan Wiltshire read what I put again, I said froch was hugely entertaining. I said Wards style was awful to watch not froch. Read properly before commenting ffs
He accepts he lost the fight. He just says that Ward was boring and a spoiler. Froch has stayed in shape would actually batter Ward now because he doesn't look after himself
I had Dirrell winning the fight but by only one or two points. The most I could give Froch in that fight was a draw. Awful fight to watch though. I could only give Froch two or three rounds maximum v Ward. Some of the judges scoring in that fight was awful. Ward not only outboxed him but he was the stronger man on the inside and bullied Froch.
I'm a massive hat man fan and being from Nottingham also Carl froch fan to not for his technique but his fight and his fitness so when this come up I was very happy to hear what you had to say about it a great review as always even when other fighters fight instead look for the results I would wait for the hatman review can I just point one thing out wasn't silly froch wanting to fight word in notts as he needs every advantage to beat him cuz he needed it against word as normal great review hat man this one was deffo one I wanted to hear
Duane Topley Im from Calverton originally, just moved from clifton to Mansfield. I remember before Froch was world champ me and my mate Lee Earl from Gedling sold Lee Froch a car stereo and Lee gave us each a bottle of beer aswell as £25, Carl answered the door. Just a little memory of my past I thought id share, PEACE ✌
I'm sure Jean pascal was only training part time for the froch fight because he had another job :-D and Taylor was a middleweight and he struggled :-( I think calzaghe would of smoked him myself.
Froch turned the uk fight scene around hahah come on pull the other one. Calzaghe was bigger box office than froch , the only reason froch sold out Wembley was because it was all British fight and groves did a great build up , joe sold out the millennium stadium against a contender fighter that's how big joes following was, I was at the jones junior fight in New York and we took over that day it was like being at home. Froch couldn't lace calzaghe boots (fact)
Wayne Evans my issue with Calzaghe was he fought poor over the hill opponents for too long. Remember Clinton Woods? Not fight to lace JC’s gloves, fought top opposition in their prime.
Hatman career reviews are how i found this channel. Make more please they are great
I'm looking forward to the Funso Banjo career review.
Funso was the Anthony Joshua hot prospect of his day, but sadly failed to fulfil his potential. A quite brilliant fighter.
Really enjoy these career reviews. Definitely breaks up the rumours and speculation videos nicely. Fight flashbacks next Hatman!
Sweet love these career reviews. Big up hatman
I’d sat Ricky Hatton played a big part in reviving the uk boxing scene also

I’d like to see the fantasy matchups return
Homeless man's version of Roy Jones 😂😂😂😂
Battered onion rings
Incredible resume. 13 x world title fights on the bounce. Helped put British boxing back on the map.
@Anderl Blakely No disgrace in losing to Ward but considering you took the time to post this reply to everyone who said a positive thing about Froch, makes me think you must have nightmares about Froch. What a goon.
@Anderl Blakely not sure how losing to ward is somehow shameful.
Froch is the david brent of boxing punditry for me great entertainment
We need a prince naseem career review
No we don't
You like Kugan, Hatman? What do you like about him, the fact he's so arrogant or the fact he edit Warren videos for him?
My favorite moment was the build-up to Andre Ward all the way through. Carl kept trying to press him the whole time in that face-to-face, but got absolutely squashed everytime LOL... The bitterness that stayed with him for years after makes that whole saga even more entertaining, & hilarious. Forget the initial fight, just the whole psychological warfare was amusing.
Pure jealousy and bitterness.
He got schooled in and outside of the ring
“You’re just an Andre ward arselicker” 😂
"This HOMELESS man's version of roy jones" HAHAHAHA
Love these in depth career reviews 👍🔥🔥
Prefer these to the videos of daily non stories
Frochs fitness was on another level. He could fight himself out of a bad situation. He couldn’t out think a good boxer but he could out-tough them. Because of that him commentary skills are poor
True, he is a terrible commentator
Need to review my career.......IWALKTHISEARTHLIKEAGOD
Hatman, love your career reviews! I can imagine they are not very easy to make, but you do a good job!

battered onion rings
The shots he took from groves where some of the biggest shots I've seen a fighter take and survive
Those two Groves fights were a masterclass in fighting mind games
Love these type of videos😀
I cracked up at "not even poor man's, a homeless man's version of Roy Jones". I'm stealing that. 😆
Would love to see one of these on Tommy Hearn or Tito Trinidad
Hatman should become a professional gambler by the sounds of it he's always right 😂
You could do a 50 min video on froch VS groves alone... The build ups, Froch's mental wobble, the controversial stoppage, the opposing security teams heading off, the wembley push, the pushes and pulls, family members getting involved, The knockout.. Really entertaining stuff...
Froch was great both inside and outside the ring
His name is pronounced correctly by warren his surname is polish and it is pronounced that way.
Warren likes to butcher a surname. To my knowledge, in polish a C is like A 'tch' in pronunciation. Ie Kownacki would be pronounced Kov-natch-ki. Woiceik is pronounced Voy-Chek. Maybe it's different with a h after it.
When he fucks off back to Poland they can educate him about how to pronounce his own name, and why the earth is round
Can you do a review of ricky Hattons career hatman
Froch is one of my all time favourite British fighters really enjoyed watching this video Hatman, Could you make a Chris Eubank Senior career video please. Thanx
What a lad Hatman!!! You never let me down bro 👊🏻
Do prince naz pls
The pascal fight was a war
Excellent video. Very interesting!
Very good fighter, amazing physical conditioning.

great piece of work Hatman
I think Froch regrets that he didn't take a huge fight against Golovkin at the end of his career
As a career SMW, it would be impossible to meet the demands of GGG asking a 38 year old Froch to boil down to 164lbs. GGG still hasn't had a fight at 168lbs either.
Get GGG in with Callum Smith, now that's a fight.
Will you do a joe calzaghie one please?
Looking forward to my lunch break 👍
Loved Carl never the most skilled or fastest boxer but he was a fighter with the heart of Rocky Balboa amazing chin and knock out power
I remember seeing a training clip of Froch in Tenerife where he’s running up the mountain there and sparring etc ...he actually called Joe Calzaghe enquiring about possible fight . Shame it’s not on here
Fighters who have a granite chin, world class power, and supreme self-confidence are a rarity and prove very difficult to beat.
Great video hatman, could you do a career review of Chris Eubanks senior or Nigel Benn next or even Frank Bruno. cheers
Really good vid Hatman
Thats a great video, Hatman
Good stuff Hatman , i always rated Froch.
Froch had an iron will and jaw, he definitely over achieved, when he started crying about Groves not being respectful he showed himself as a hypocrite and a baby

You talking about David Hasslehoff?
Stagey Cosine no . . . but “The Hoff” did play his part I guess with his fusion of deep acting and brilliant rock music.
Rocky vs Ivan drago
durrell carter a man that knows his boxing history! 😂
Carl Froch has a fantastic cv he beat Dirrell and bute who were undefeated. Ward swerved both
dave allen world level Ward would’ve beaten them both anyway
Froch was injured going into the Mack fight, that's why Mckraken was worried about it. If I remember from his book, it was a knee injury.
Always excuses from Matchroom fighters.
It's not me using the excuse lol. Just saying what was in his book.
U barely talk about naz!
The World Boxing Super Series is just a much catchier name than Super 6 for some reason lol don't know why
The funny thing is that even though he was bitter towards Andre Ward, he still had him at the #1 spot in his personal P4P list. So go figure.

Carl froch not a massive fan but my god he had a chin made of iron
Carl froch was bombastic and a bad loser.
Bit late with this hatman he retired five years ago. Btw can we get another big John impression.
Jesus HATs 50 minutes I wish you would have gave DeLaHoya
50 minutes on the career review he was way better than Froch.
dirrell stunk place out and didn't come to win.
ward fight was crap aswell.
bute was the man and froch beat him up
Still should of got the nod tho
Ducked GGG!
He was too big and too strong for GGG.
This should be a good listen. Wasn’t the biggest fan of Froch but what a warrior
