CARL FROCH has come straight out of the Suella Braverman school of trenchant opinions.<\/strong><\/p>\n

He is as fearless behind a microphone as he was when he was world super-middleweight champion.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately many TV boxing commentators, analysts and interviewers are reluctant to criticise the often tedious and mundane contests viewers have to sit through before the main event.<\/p>\n

Mindful that their employers have paid large sums of money for a show lasting several hours, they tend to act as cheerleaders. <\/p>\n

Listening to them trying desperately not to make harsh judgements, more often than not I feel it\u2019s the bland leading the bland.<\/p>\n

They should be made aware that Sir Winston Churchill said: \u201cCriticism may not be agreeable bit it is necessary. It fulfils the same function as pain in the human body.\u201d<\/p>\n

Froch a veteran of 12 world championship fights who was inducted into America\u2019s Boxing Hall of Fame, in June never pulled his punches in the ring.<\/p>\n

And Carl, known as the Cobra in his fighting days, is certainly not afraid to spit his venom when it comes to expressing forthright views on his You Tube podcast or talkSPORT.<\/p>\n

He was scathing about Tyson Fury\u2019s degrading desert escapade against MMA star Francis Ngannou a couple of weeks ago, because he felt it was demeaning the sport.<\/p>\n

Froch, 46, said \u201cI don\u2019t like the way some boxing promoters are going down the route of crossover fights.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat tells us something about the state of boxing at the minute and I\u2019m sure true boxing supporters are unhappy about it.<\/p>\n

\u201cI made Ngannou win by two rounds and I\u2019m sure Fury having been floored by Ngannou must have suffered psychologically damage – that\u2019s got to have done his head in.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy taking that fight Fury said he didn\u2019t care about his legacy – it\u2019s a good job because at the minute his legacy is in tatters. I think he\u2019s got one eye on retirement.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe fans are turning against Tyson and that\u2019s sad to see – because deep down I think they feel he\u2019s hurting the sport.\u201d<\/p>\n

Froch doesn\u2019t spare Anthony Joshua from a tongue lashing either after seeing AJ\u2019s far-from-impressive performance against Jermaine Franklin and his labouring against Robert Helenius before scoring a spectacular KO victory.<\/p>\n

Carl doesn\u2019t mess about and he said: \u201cJoshua is frightened of his own shadow after being stopped by Andy Ruiz (in 2019) and he hasn\u2019t been the same fighter since. <\/p>\n

I know what I have to say about fellow fighters is likely to upset them but I\u2019m telling the truth – as the saying goes the truth hurts.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t understand why he\u2019s still fighting – money can\u2019t be a motivation when you\u2019ve earned more than \u00a3100million.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe will be remembered for beating an old Wladimir Klitschko who had been sat on his sofa for 18 months.\u201d<\/p>\n

Froch told me: \u201cI know what I have to say about fellow fighters is likely to upset them but I\u2019m telling the truth – as the saying goes the truth hurts.\u201d<\/p>\n

Carl\u2019s never-to-be-forgotten last fight was when he pole-axed bitter rival George Groves before an 80,000 Wembley stadium crowd nine years ago.<\/p>\n

It was one of the few genuine grudge matches.<\/p>\n

Groves, who went on to become a world super-middleweight champion after Froch retired, also has a popular podcast and they were supposed to hate each other.<\/p>\n

Groves laughed: \u201cCarl definitely hated me back then – but I didn\u2019t hate him until after he knocked me out\u201d.<\/p>\n
