This deserves 80,000 views 👍
This deserves 80,000 likes 😂
Not sure what the 80,000 is about. Never heard Froch mention it
I might have heard him mention something about Wembley to but he might have been talking about going the match
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Will pass that. His tight furry boxes nobody git the right promoters behind him. That’s that.
Froch is such a straight talker, and brutally honest but not harsh. A lot of respect and a fantastic podcast
he's an underrated British sportsperson for sure - proper world champ
@@hatesitrick sportsman.
Oio
Not bad in the ring either!!!
love the bloke!!!
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.
I always thought he was arrogant and he still is but the more you listen to the fella the more you love him such a character 😂and hard fucker ain't the word
@@rehzinx6874He is arrogant. He gives his own opinion though. He should be respected both for that and for the way he fought!! 🥊
@@messymortonhe's not arrogant, he's just got a dry sense of humour and you're too thick to understand it
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).
@@shitmonkyable nah he's aragont as fuck but in a good way 🤣
Best one so far. Froch is a legend . I used to love watching his fights because you knew it was pure entertainment.
I think Froch is very much like Gary Neville, for some reason I just never realised how much I liked them until they weren't performing anymore then really appreciated just how good they were and how amazingly they've adapted to punditry
Two people who love talking over each other. Match made in heaven 🤷♂️
Lols love that froch the size of this guys ego jeezus man take a day off yur greatest win was agianst groves sit down
Simon Jordan is sports' version of Piers Morgan.
@@nohmanahmed4463clueless comment
@@nohmanahmed4463 Oh dear, have a look at his cv mate
Yep they’d be better interviewing themselves
Simon Jordan gave all that big talk about asking the hard questions in the intro to his “Upfront” and not a word to Carl Froch getting mauled/beaten by Andre S.O.G. Ward Hall of Fame P4P in the final of the Super Six tournament?
Not bias at all.
Schooled AF
Carl Froch is a breath of fresh air. Says it how it is. 🔥🔥
Erm!!! a lot of people say it as it is. What’s your point
It’s tough to admit you were immature and had an over inflated opinion of yourself.
Froch was honest. Many fighters don’t admit shit like that.
@@TheKing-tl8si his point is that most people don't say things as it is smart ass!
@@TheKing-tl8sino they don't.. not in the media ..99% of them are agenda driven
The King a lot of people mince their words and lick arse
This podcast needs to grow exponentially
Simon is smashing it with his guests and his questions
I'm absolutely loving these every week!
So much better without that brown nose Spence 👃💩
Simon is a bellend
@Bigramt He interrupts his guests to make nothing points. The man loves the sound of his own voice.
Imagine IFL doing interviews with actual content…..
He is so annoying when he constantly interrupts the guy he is interviewing
Amazing interview. Asked some new questions and Froch as honest as ever. Great watch!
Whatever you think of Carl Froch this man left everything in the ring he was a warrior and an entertainer
One of the very few real world champions from the U.K.
Got out on top
All his faculties
Successful and healthy with a great history to be proud of
Current fighters take note
Sir Froch , unbelievable to think he was a bit of a nervous wreck as a young fighter and yet built that self confidence
Great interview
Sir froch😂😂😂😂😂 mug
@@Gematrinator I knew that would rattle a virgin
Best episode of "up front " yet,I'm a massive froch fan,and him & simon work superbly well together,
I was waiting for this one and it did not disappoint. Brilliant interview
This is one of the best podcast for a long time . Really straight talking , mutual respect and some good humour. Very good work guys
This is he best interview I have seen Froch in. So candid and brutal about his own ability! I definitely have a newfound respect for him.
Brilliant interview! The difference it makes when the interviewer is genuinely interested in the interviewee. Well done, Simon!
He gave us some great nights ,can’t beat an old school brawler 👊🏻
I think the Jermaine Taylor fight was the fight that defined Carl Frotch for me, to come back in the last round the way he did was awesome
I agree, that was the fight that suddenly made me realise how special a boxer Carl was.
The 50/50 split with Kessler sums Carl up as a person and a boxer it was never about the money for him it was about combat and fighting and wanting to beat the best a very rare trait in boxing in this day and age this man was one of a kind and never ever ducked a single fighter that alone is worth more than some of the world champions these days he can always hold that!
What on earth are you talking about?. Yeah I think their's some honesty their with foch, he's got a bit better as he got holder. But you can't tell me he didn't duck joe calzaghe. Joe calzaghe would of schooled the little boy. Get a life pall.
clueless @@christophercroxson9724
What a GREAT interview that was. Made my day stumbling across this on YT. Good times!
The world needs more people like Carl Froch, honest and real. Simon needs to listen more when asking a question and let the guest finish his point. Great podcast overall, though.
The dynamics in this interview work incredibly.. Enjoyed this start to finish. So refreshing listening to Carl being completely open and honest with Simon. The questioning really drawed me in. Credit to Simon and Carl, one of best interviews I've seen. Need more of this level of production. Credit to all.
The dynamics of this interview are 2 guys cheerleading each other
@@kb4432 not really tho is it, Carl opening up about his insecurities early in his boxing career.. Not many fighters will show their vulnerabilities / true transparity.
Cut him off constantly are you serious
Carl froch is one of the few genuine world champions that never ducked a real fight
De gale
Tell that to Adonis Stevenson.
@@jonwalton4286Degale lol. Log off.
@@davidmcgarry8910No.
@@jonwalton4286you expect froch in his mid to late 30s to still keep fightinf these quality young fighters? to prive what? he fought everyone he needed to fight i. his prime and in their prime..de gale wss a good tricky fighter but you cant keep fighting forever. Frpch not fightinf de gale is no different to calzaghe not fighting froch, its not ducking bcus prime for prime froxh would have hammered degale but the timing was wrong, just like it was for calzaghe when he vacated his belt instead of facing froch when he was his mandstory.
One of the best, informative and intelligent interviews I have heard in along time, well done
I didn’t like froch before this he’s gone up in my estimations more humble than i thought great interview
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!
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!
Massive respect for Carl
That Darren Farley impression is always worth a watch
Enjoyed that....brilliant interview. Carl is a true fighting Gent, very few about these days. ;0)
I’m welsh and I can say that Carl froch is one of the best boxers the uk has ever had … a brilliant tough boxer who never ducked any one and a genuine man .. always been a fan of Carl the legend 👊👊
The Calzaghe fight would have been sensational.
@@millsy1861 it would have been an amazing fight and I’m a big joe fan but even I’m 50/50 who would win because froch was as tough as they come joe would not of been able to knock him out I’m certain of that but joes boxing skills and hand speed would have been a problem .. but froch got that heart and will to keep going so what a fight that would have been 👊👊👊
@@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. Carl even concedes at the end of the interview that Joe was the best British boxer in the last 20 years. It would have been a great fight to see, but my money would have been on Joe to win a points decision, and probably not a very close points decision.
@@NoxiousRobYes I would probably edge towards Calzaghe on pts in a tough fight. Although I do think Carl fought the better opposition.
Carl froch good boxer, but he did duck joe calzaghe. Joe would of schooled him I'm afraid.
Froch Kessler 2 is one of the best fights I’ve been to. What an atmosphere and what a fight 🥊
Still don't know how he got up from the first Groves fight and carried on. Unbelievable heart and stamina.
Top man Froch...honest to his core...Simon is a great interviewer...loved this one....
One of the most down to earth and truthful blokes ive ever come across, love Froch.
One of the most down to flat earth.
@@Smelly_Minge bit like your brain and intelligence ,flat.
@@Smelly_Minge :)
If more fighters had the same attitude and respect as Froch alot more fights would be made , hell of a fighter 🥊🇬🇧
If AJ had half of what Carl has, he'd be the best Heavyweight out there bar none.
@@millsy1861 this is not an absurd take
This is the best interview I’ve ever seen with Carl Froch.
6 shows in and just noticed the book rotations. Great show love the in-depth conversations
SJ just needs to sit back a bit more and not be so keen to interrupt the guest.
I've been a huge fan of Froch for years. He deserves all the respect he gets. A true warrior.
The UKs Marvin Hagler.
Absolute Legend and an example and role model in boxing and in life.
Love listening to The Cobra.
Well said! 100% agree 🤙
Bullshit, dont insult the marvelous one like that. Was nothing like Marvin. Hagler had the chin and boxing skills. If anyone was close to Hagler in the UK it was probably Nigel Benn.
What a great conversationalist Froch is
This series is the best thing I have watched for a while.
Great stuff. Fury is running scared. Bottler, greedy, Mr Sell-Out.
Really enjoying the SJ experience - excellent series of interviews; the Matt LeTissier edition was superb
Get Eubanks snr on
I must have been one of the few people who was rooting for George in the first (and second) fight. I love a cocky underdog.
Great to hear from Carl, and good to see and hear that he came out of the game with all his marbles and bank balance intact. Thoroughly enjoyed the interview - thanks for uploading.
Froch is no nonsense this should be good. Simon smashing it lately.
I feel like I'm earwigging into a conversation that would usually happen behind closed doors, what an insight. Always loved froch, a few fighters could do with what he had nowadays (balls!). Cracking content. ❤
Brilliant! No fannying about. Straight talking common sense from Carl... Respect
Another great podcast video by Top LAD Proper Clobber ✊
In my eyes froch is an absolute legend, tough, hard man, proper Nottingham legend and a hall of famer, if I had to write down my top 5 fighters in my era, froch would be in the list, I boxed on some shows with him as an amature and even then he was a legend
Love this interview!! Froch is an all time great! 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽
I like Simons straight forward style but he interjects/interrupts too much when Carl is talking. The fighters have the true insight into the physiological and technical side of fighting so let them finish a sentence.
agree with froch. Fury wants none of usyk , do not be fooled otherwise. Who would want to fight him? He’s a nightmare. Fury would much prefer fights with non boxers now.
You don't agree with Froch. You have the exact opposite opinion of Fury
They are both waiting for the saudi money
fantastic episode this, loved every moment of it
Great interview, best one yet!!
Will Simon be interviewing wrestlers anytime soon especially many big personalities in that world of pro wrestling. My favourite is lord of darkness himself The Undertaker
Carl knows he's a legend and can big himself up and back it up, but also knows how to take the piss out of himself. Never takes it all to seriously and happy to stick his neck out
Excellent interview and Carls a legend that was a great watch thanks..
This is a great interview. Respect.
God Love You Carl, a real boxing legend and human example!!!
A great interview with a true British boxing icon , massive respect to Carl and Simon❤❤
Great insight into the sport 🙏🥊great conversion 👌
Superb again, loving these interviews.
Glad more and more boxers are exposing fury for ducking usyk 👏🏻
Bullies dodge.
Love this Simon Jordan series ❤
Welcome to the jordanites Marshall.
Simon = top LAD proper clobber
Sir Alex Marshall = Top LAD Proper Clobber 💯 Facts
@@MW92. We're growing into an empire
Simon, you are absolutely superb at interviewing.
Another great interview, Froch a true icon of British boxing.
Brilliant Interview....Froch will go down as 1 of the Best and Toughest Men ever in Boxing ....Respect to the Guy and to you Simon your doing a Great Job in your New Venture keep em coming
What a quality interview! Simon’s my favourite host on talkSPORT, the way he ties people in knots and makes Jim White look a plonker on a regular basis is brilliant 😂
Thats because White IS a plonker. He's nothing more than a newsreader
Liking this videos lately👍 good to hear from the man him self
Brilliant and full respect from Carl for his comments on jc top man
Has Carl Froch ever considered going into acting? Because he would be perfect live action Kratos from God Of War video game series has the look and voice.
Simon should have a PhD in squaring circles by the end of this interview
Love this interview 💯💪
Best interview I’ve seen. Excellent. Two men comfortable in their skins being straight. 🐍 🥊.
Great podcast and a well deserved induction to the boxing hall of fame
Simon
I suggest you interview yourself and then you can just talk for an hour and 10 minutes
Without being interrupted
Great to see you "Cutting through the non-thenth" again, Simon. Seriously, your content is brilliant.
I have always had mad love and respect 🙏🏿 for Carl the Cobra Froch and have always known he was misunderstood but he has gone up ten fold even more 👊🏿. Top man the Cobra and Mr Simon Jordan keep up the great work your a breath of fresh air 👍🏿
Would’ve liked to have seen Froch vs Golovkin
Me too, what a WAR that would have been.
Really enjoyed that!! Thanks again
To be as accountable and self reflective as Froch is, is very admirable.
Brilliant comment 👊
I loved Frochs fights. He was the epitome of never ducking anybody.A real warrior and I truly believe Joe avoided him🥊
He definitely didn't duck him bro like the other kiddy said he went to America and fought 2 absolute boxing legends in Roy Jones Jnr and Bernard Hopkins
Joe never ducked anyone
We’ll never know, but Joe clearly wanted a zero loss record when he retired.
@@malakas9351Lucky to beat Hopkins, very close fight. The Roy Jones fight was an absolute joke, he was well past his prime.
@@bladerunner16 well past his prime ? Granted he wasn't in his absolute prime but he only had 3 losses at the the time he thought Joe 2 to tarver and 1 to Jermaine Taylor he also beat Felix trinidad before he thought Joe who is great fighter and won Joe calzaghe was also 35
Fantastic interview. Carl froch what a guy 👏
That was Amazing. Riveting start to end!!!
17.05 fury v usyk talk.
It’s nice that Carl let Simon to talk freely in this interview of the former Crystal Palace chairman 🤦♂️
Brilliant interview and when will the paddle tennis 🎾 be shown ???? Lol 😂😂😂👍👍can’t wait for that one
Mr jordan please keep these podcasts going forever. Brilliant
Thing about Carls toughness it is down to his determination & his genetics But he always fought at his proper weight, a weight he was strong at. Which is what fighters should do but often don’t, sometimes fight at catchweight or a higher weight. So Garcia for example was weak at that catchweight & thus weaker so thus can’t take the bodyshots.
Carl was carried by the courage of his convictions
He also squared alot of circles for Simon too.
Amazing, loved Frochs book. Would like to see Simon not interrupt the speakers especially during story telling. Loved it though!
Froch, straight talking, straight fighter ! Gutsy fighter. Great interview. Can't help but like him here. Warrior. Simon Jordan smashing it with these interviews
Fury knows that if he doesn’t knock Usyk out, it is a 50/50 all of a sudden because theres no daylight between their boxing ability.
Usyk has never been knocked out.
Fury can’t stand the idea of tossing a coin…if he lost it would be absolute scenes.
The fight will never ever happen.
Simon = top LAD proper clobber. Us Jordanites solute the DON
Jordanite Club Association = Top LADS Proper Clobbers 🔥
Great work guys!! Subscribed to you both
Thanks Froch man,Share your views on mental ability.
I also panic sometimes.
Thanks for the advice listening to you.
I’ll hang in there with Grit when it’s thrown in my face.
Much love man..
