I was never a fan, but it was funny when it became a running joke, with the 80,000 people quotes. He caught on, and then did it intentionally. All the best 🥊👊
I met him when my dad took me to an open training session he did about 12 years ago. While the cameras were filming and the journalists were there, he played the humble, friendly, normal guy, after they left we got to see the real Carl Froch, arrogant, and rude, exactly the same way you described him. My dad said afterwards, you can have all the money in the world, but it can’t buy class and good manners. On the flip side I met Nigel Benn a few years ago, he was a top guy, he stopped to chat with me and have a photo. I told him how big a fan my old man was of him, and how he used to show me his fights when I was a kid, and he got me to FaceTime my old man, and made his day. A better man than Froch, and a better fighter, Nigel would have knocked him out before round 6 lol.
Doesn’t surprise me about Nigel benn, the man isn’t a fake, he always came across as what u see is what u get. Never got above himself despite being a legendary fighter. I think Froch was a great fighter but an insecure man, he needs to big himself up, if he doesn’t see u worthy of validating him he will probably ignore you. His reaction to groves made perfect sense, he wanted George to worship him, when he didn’t his ego just couldn’t take it. He loves George now because he does give him the respect and puts up with his ego.
My cousin is a pretty well known fighter. Probably as famous if not more famous than Froch. I was with him in a restaurant and a young guy came over asking for an autograph and was very apologetic for disturbing us as he explained it was for his dad who was unwell. My cousin sat the guy down and spoke to him very solemnly explaining his own dad was unwell and how he understood. The young fella was over the moon. I know wherever that guy is he will speak highly about my cousin. As you say manners don't cost anything.
Met the guy a few times in Nottingham and had numerous contractors working for his firm on property development projects. Nothing but a gent. Honest as they come and very friendly.
Froch has the charisma of a cold cup of tea , and was probably too busy admiring his dainty new nose to recognise anyone else was even in the room mate. Or he was busy watching the Andre Ward fight backwards, so he can say it ended a draw.
Froch was limited due to training under McCrappen his career, I remember watching the fight and seeing Ward spit his gumsheild out in the 12th round to buy a break, not bad for such a technically limited fighter, shame Ward was so fcking boring and adversed to taking risks he could have been a star
@@glenleon323 Agreed, but my point with Froch is his personality, banality and ego. He's so "humble" he claims he was the third best supermiddleweight of all time. As for his punditry "skils", as bad as they are, he probably thinks he should get his own show and is the main reason people tune in.
@@mattlegg1976 TBF Froch was a warrior and great fighter although Calzaghe is the best super mid I've ever seen. Comfortable points win for Calzaghe imo. Shame it never happened!
@@ryanfast9615 That's a tough one Ryan for me. They were only 3yrs apart when they fought but Jones delivered over so many weights and without doubt one of the best ever. All we have to work on is that one fight which Calzaghe won.
Respect and good manners are everything Matt. For me it matters not what you’ve won or what achievements you’ve managed on your individual journey, because the mark of any great man is ultimately how you treat others. You sir are quite obviously a very respectful person! Never change! All the very best 👍
Had the honour of meeting Joe Calzaghe last Friday in Boddram airport Turkey, he was an absolute gentleman and a credit to himself and spoke respectfully about all his old opponents and other boxers, apart from one, you guessed it Carl Froch, he did say he hoped to bump into him one day away from spotlight and social media
Joe is a great bloke and very grounded, my mate seen him in the bookies one day, this was when he was world champ, he was putting a bet on a horse, £2 each way lol. not a flash character just a proper working class lad.
Happens in life. My wife has 2 friends who I refuse to socialise with anymore. There have been too many times where I sat there like a spare part, got "tolerated" where anything I said was met with a short response before moving onto "more important" topics etc. The final straw was at a small birthday party for their daughter. We were completely ignored all day by everyone. I work as a school teacher. I remember looking around and thinking "I teach children, some of who's parents could come in here any buy absolutely every person in this room and no way would they ever behave like this". The only way of dealing with people like these in life is to stay well away from them.
we cant controll how others act in this fucked up life brother, but we can controll how we act, and your a Gettleman, just came across you a few weeks back and your morals are awesome, i told my self as a kid never let this world change me and make me become what i hate so i can relate to your good morals, stay on track mate and keep being the good we need in this world

@@Sebadee80 it was and still is very tough mate. Everyday is a struggle tbh the past few years have been awful tbh. .losing my little sister honestly nearly destroyed me. Time is the healer as they say. Many thanks for your reply mate.
I know Matt personally and first met him when he was only 16 and he was on his way to being a lump then and I can tell you all now I have never met a more humble, unassuming,polite, generous, kind and loving man.l would do anything for Matt and I know for a fact he would do anything for me or anyone else for that matter.... love you big fella x
Mate I don't know exactly what it is but without knowing you these videos are absolute gold and you're clearly such a decent fella that I can see a near future where if you keep going you'll cement your own legacy (and earn from it) in ways people like Froch couldn't get near. That'd be so vindicating. But regardless, I and many others like me massively appreciate you taking the time. The country behind you, your candid character - It's genuinely refreshing and stands out in this age of hyperbole and bragging. You're a pleasure to listen to
Totally agree, let’s take the great Ukrainian champion Usyk for instance. He’s 0% arrogant, 0% disrespectful and more often than not, he still outperforms his competition at championship level!
No excuse for not being polite and respectful.. And no excuse for being rude... I Met him in Cardiff in 2012 and he was a prick... Respect to you mate x
Carl was a frequent visitor to the gym where I trained, always found him very amicable, I’m sure he wasn’t being intentionally churlish. It is possible that he was preoccupied in his own thoughts.
Absolutely spot on 👌🏽 I remember you boxing in the ABA semis @ Everton park sports centre in 2001. I was working on the whips / gloves that day & I still have the programme from that event somewhere. If I can recall you stopped your opponent in the first or second rnd ? As for Froch, he did the exact same thing with a former England team mate who’s name I won’t mention out of respect. They seen each other at a show & he completely blanked his former England team mate out.
i like that you give people respect and expect it back sadly in the world we live in today that is the triumph over Hope over Expectation great channel :-)
Completely new subscriber to this channel...I choose who I have in my inner circle very carefully, and am happy to say, you would be hugely welcome in it...great, down to earth guy, a far cry from ego maniacs
Thanks Matt what a difference in people, despite both of you being sportmen, clearly only yourself has the humility and dignity along with respect that to most genuine fans and people in general , find far more impressive than any world title, winning a world title in anything doesnt automaticaly mean that your a nice genuine guy, I,m sure like myself other subscribers can see your an open and genuine person Matt, its also good you can laugh about Mr Frochs arrogance and ignorance, we all meet people who for some reason or other have to try and feel superior to everyone, very sad. Keep the faith mate!
@@mattlegg1976 Morning Matt I have enjoyed all your videos, well the ones I,ve seen so far and I,m working my way through them when I pop on here, its so refreshing to listen to someone who really does appreciate his followers ,your humility and easy going manner makes very easy listening have a great weekend mate!
So there you go it's all about class, respect and education...you my friend have it in abundance...now yer man "Froch" was a great boxer and indeed had he's day......yet today 2022 he has nothing.. Now as a massive fighting and boxing fan , I would rather listen to someone like your self who has a huge bucket of interesting life stories to tell and share, than hear about the lack of manners and respect from a former has-been. Keep doing what you're doing Matt and change nothing.... respect and god bless..Ted
Manners maketh man. You're the better man, Matt. I watch videos of the late Tony Zale and Rocky Graziano. The respect they have for each other is quite humbling.
Carl Froch is a Sausage & I refuse to sit anywhere near him when we go to fights & that includes Eubank Jr. Sitting with Peter Fury who’s a boxing encyclopaedia & says it as it is. I know he has 100% respect for Matt as I’ve talked about your UA-cam channel Matt & he highly respects you as a hard working down to earth fighter. Keep up the great content Matt. All the best. Jamie 👍🏻🥊
Thank you Jamie, that means a lot that Peter Fury said that. He let us stay up there just before my James Toney fight when I was 38, and I sparred Hughie, Tyson and Eli Frankham.. Peter is a top man, please pass on my regards. Thank you for the message Jamie, I really appreciate it mate. 🥊👊
Yeah never rated Frochs personality but was decent in the square circle. Big thanks to you Matt for the support and subscription. Been a big fan of your career for many years and was great to see you taking this new direction online. I think you'll have one of the biggest channels in a year's time, keep up the positive energy and amazing content and if I can help out with anything just give us a shout. 💯😉
Thank you, I didn't know that, Im really grateful. He was definitely a good fighter, although I never really followed him. And thank you for the vote of confidence, I'm really happy with how it's going. How's everything going with you?🥊👊
@@mattlegg1976 Good to hear mate, it's all about persistence and keeping the regular upload ls going. Yeah been through hell the last few months with ex Mrs and drama with police but it's all settled now so looking forward to a new start in life with my kids.
Evening Matt. Yeah, iv heard several stories about Carl and his lack of manners. Man, you are in some beautiful places brother. Keep fighting the good fight. Peace.
Manners makes men Matt unfortunately people get up them selves and think there Better than others forget where they come from..the exact same thing happened to me my old mate who won the British feather weight title fort sure Murphy totally blank me when me met after in won that title.. turned his back on a lot of his old mate's.sad really ..used to work on building sites together in the old day's..it hurt me..
@@mattlegg1976 there's a few people I won't be talking to again on the strength of what you were talking about, and I'm the same as you, I will talk to anyone, but when someone is rude and impolite it takes the pi$$!! Good on you 👊🏻😎💥
Hi Matt. I can tell how you come across and speak you are a genuine nice lad who has little care of a persons wealth or status.....basically you will treat everyone with respect and that is the way to be. Whether someone is homeless.owns a mansion and a country .....if we do not give all the same respect when addressing them we are then the ones with the issues... Carl Froch issue is he is a very very bitter lad....he was a good fighter with a granite chin and big punch which got him out of trouble on numerous occasions....his actual boxing was good but nowhere and I mean nowhere near the level of Joe.....who was basically a workhorse in the ring. The difference between Calzaghe and Froch is Calzaghe would have spent half an hour with you........treating you the same way he would treat Roy Jones.....the reason he would is he is a normal humble lad.....Froch is bitter Calzaghe is retired undefeated and gets in the hall of fame.... I remember when Joes father died....the same year bearing in mind he lost his mother to covid as well Froch came out and commented about Joes red bloated face .....who in life with any decency would criticize a guy losing both parents in a pure bitter dig?.... Froch I repeat was a good pro ....but his fist saved him in a few when losing....this reply is not about who was a better boxer....it is a reply to tell you how his bitterness started.....Calzaghe......Froch is known globally as a arrogant lad but for him to do that to you does not surprise me.....no1 and I mean no1 is better than anyone in terms of status.....criminals convicted you could argue yes those crimeless are morally but on status or jobs....careers....nope.......it is a job he simpy did very well. Carl needs to step back and have a good long look at himself. Treating anyone in life because they are not worthy of his aura really defines him .
That's a really good message, and interesting. Thank you for posting. I do agree wholeheartedly. I've met Joe Calzaghe a few times, top guy. Great insight there, thank you. I didn't realize Froch said that about Joe. Very tactless. All the best mate 🥊👊
I really enjoy your channel and insights into boxing and the various characters and personalities. You can't buy class but you can choose to be rude and ignorant. You are by far the better man.
I met him at aj v takam n he was the same.didnt speak to anybody n the security said he was like it regular to fans,deffo won't b rushing to speak to him again.
I have known a few like Froch in my time. Not worth disturbing them, they're too much into themselves. Move on just like you did Matt. You're one o f the kind ones, never change.
That looks like Stevington Mill mate , just down the road from us . Used to be able to get the key for it from the local pub years ago, and have a look around!
He seems like a Prick, your to good of a person to worry about chump's like that. He will have to answer to the big guy upstairs when his time comes. All the best Matt & I really enjoy your content brother. 👍🇺🇲🗽🏴👍
He'd do well to take a leaf out of your book Matt, manners, politenes cost nothing, big respect to you bruv and Thank you for always taking the time to reply, all the very best..👊🥊🥊
Hi Matt I’ve done some sparring with his brother Lee ( nice guy by the way) in the past who at the time was fighting on the EBF circuit doing well. Was around Carl maybe 2 or 3 occasions and the only way I can put it into words it was like being around a diva. Would of been nice for a tiny bit of eye contact and that the one question I dared to ask was not like me asking for a kidney. Good luck to the man though one thing I will say he is a great brother to his older brother and seems like a good family man. But damn delusions of grandeur all the way.
@@mattlegg1976 he was pretty good for being in his early 40’s some good body shots. I think if he took boxing serious when he was younger he would of been a solid light heavyweight. to small for heavyweight if he turned pro. All the best Matt
Matt, I'm the same as you, expect some decency and manners when putting myself/yourself out there. That's disappointing to hear about Carl but no surprise-He comes across as a conceited bellend. Joe Calzaghe lives in his head rent free Lol. Love watching your channel m8. U r one of the few sincere, respectful guys out there. Keep it up!
No harm in showing gratitude to a next fellow fighter blood sweat tears 4 any man who jumps in dat square circle da things fighters go through nuffin but❤
Met him once and he was decent to me. Also then saw him being pestered moments later by some annoying guy who had the audacity to make him stop for multiple selfies, he was more patient than I would have been. Maybe you bumped into him at a bad time?
Yeah a few people are now saying he's ok, which is good to hear. Maybe an off day Great film by the way, Midnight Run. One of my favourites. All the best 🥊👊
@@mattlegg1976 Doesn't excuse someone being ok one minute and a twat the next, but who knows, he was fine that day and you had a different experience. Well spotted re dorfler😀
The trick is every time you see him be over nice to him make his skin crawl .I'd be straight over telling him how great he is but then apologies because i thought he was Joe calzagie and just walk away 😃
@@beakofthesouth2666 Ahh i see. I also remember Eddie Hearn saying he was the tightest boxer he's ever worked with and he would have full blown arguments over single-digit expenses
I've only just found your channel and you come across as a good genuine guy. I'm also a big admirer of Froch and I really hope that for whatever reason it was just a misunderstanding between the two of you. Would be great if you got on together if you ever come across him again.
Spot on mate! Manners cost nothing, you can tll the mark of a man by the way he treats others!
Definitely 👍👌🥊
Cost nothing and get you everywhere. How I was raised properly.
I found the key to happiness is to stay away from idiots ❤️🥊

Yep it seems the general consensus is tat Carls a bit up himself. One of them unpleasant, arrogant ones.
I was a huge fan of Froch but I can't help but think he's a right knob, when he's presenting and always steers the conversation onto himself.
I was never a fan, but it was funny when it became a running joke, with the 80,000 people quotes.

I met him in Marbella was nice and pleasant and posed for a pic. Tho must have caught him on a good day 😂

That'd be so vindicating. But regardless, I and many others like me massively appreciate you taking the time. The country behind you, your candid character - It's genuinely refreshing and stands out in this age of hyperbole and bragging. You're a pleasure to listen to
Ah thank you Terry, that is a lovely message. I'm really grateful. All the best 🥊👊
@@mattlegg1976 cheers Matt 🥊 all the best to you and yours mate
I’ll second that! Being humble in victory, defeat and ultimately life makes the man
Totally agree, let’s take the great Ukrainian champion Usyk for instance. He’s 0% arrogant, 0% disrespectful and more often than not, he still outperforms his competition at championship level!
Perfectly said m8, Matt definitely bring's out the best in people.👍
No excuse for not being polite and respectful.. And no excuse for being rude... I Met him in Cardiff in 2012 and he was a prick... Respect to you mate x
Thank you Sparky. Exactly 🥊👊
Carl was a frequent visitor to the gym where I trained, always found him very amicable, I’m sure he wasn’t being intentionally churlish. It is possible that he was preoccupied in his own thoughts.
Oh ok. One or two people have said he's been ok with them.
🥊👊
@@mattlegg1976 I would give him another chance. Sometimes people are so pre-occupied in their mind their focus is totally elsewhere...
Steven Davis- "Interesting"
😂😂🥊👍 Good one. What happened to Steve Davis?
Thank you mate 👍🥊👊
Dont blame you ace. I personally think the biggest mark of disrespect one man can show to another man is by just completely ignoring them.
Definitely 👍🥊
Thank you Matt for taking your time to share your stories with us🙏👊💯👍
Kind regards Mike
A nothing story
Thank you for listening Mike 👊🥊
Lol, still did ok didn't it 👍😉
@@mattlegg1976 I think that one up there could be one of your trolls🤣🤣🤣
Absolutely spot on 👌🏽 I remember you boxing in the ABA semis @ Everton park sports centre in 2001. I was working on the whips / gloves that day & I still have the programme from that event somewhere. If I can recall you stopped your opponent in the first or second rnd ? As for Froch, he did the exact same thing with a former England team mate who’s name I won’t mention out of respect. They seen each other at a show & he completely blanked his former England team mate out.
Ah really, nice one.
That's right, the one time I entered the ABAs. Wow, I fought on the Saturday and the Sunday I think.
Thank you for remembering
🥊👊
Top man you are Matt, down to earth and very respectful. There are many people on utube who could learn alot from you. 👍
Thank you for saying that, I'm really grateful. All the best 🥊👊
Thanks Matt, you're a champ! He always struck me as entitled in his answer to questions. Keep up the great content, love the scenery, where are you?
Thank you. Bromham near Bedford 🥊👊
You're a good man 👊
Thank you Ben 🥊👊
i like that you give people respect and expect it back sadly in the world we live in today that is the triumph over Hope over Expectation great channel :-)
No great loss. The guy is an absolute weapon anyway.
Completely new subscriber to this channel...I choose who I have in my inner circle very carefully, and am happy to say, you would be hugely welcome in it...great, down to earth guy, a far cry from ego maniacs
Thank you very much Stewart, I really appreciate the.
And thank you for the sub aswell 👊🥊👍
Thanks Matt what a difference in people, despite both of you being sportmen, clearly only yourself has the humility and dignity along with respect that to most genuine fans and people in general , find far more impressive than any world title, winning a world title in anything doesnt automaticaly mean that your a nice genuine guy, I,m sure like myself other subscribers can see your an open and genuine person Matt, its also good you can laugh about Mr Frochs arrogance and ignorance, we all meet people who for some reason or other have to try and feel superior to everyone, very sad. Keep the faith mate!
A brilliant message. Thank you very much, it'd greatly appreciated 🥊
@@mattlegg1976 Morning Matt I have enjoyed all your videos, well the ones I,ve seen so far and I,m working my way through them when I pop on here, its so refreshing to listen to someone who really does appreciate his followers ,your humility and easy going manner makes very easy listening have a great weekend mate!
@@martynhamer3044 Thank you so much. Im so grateful for messages like this one. It shows I'm doing something right , lol 🥊👍
Totally agree with you Matt manners cost nothing, I always enjoy your videos.
Thank you very much 🥊👍
Well said Matt
Carl “Too big too strong for everyone except Andre Ward” Froch
Thank you. I didn't watch the fights, I always watch Heavyweights, lol
I might go back and look Joe.
Cheers 🥊
So there you go it's all about class, respect and education...you my friend have it in abundance...now yer man "Froch" was a great boxer and indeed had he's day......yet today 2022 he has nothing.. Now as a massive fighting and boxing fan , I would rather listen to someone like your self who has a huge bucket of interesting life stories to tell and share, than hear about the lack of manners and respect from a former has-been. Keep doing what you're doing Matt and change nothing.... respect and god bless..Ted
Thank you Ted, I'll hopefully keep you interested. All the best mate 🥊👊
Manners maketh man. You're the better man, Matt. I watch videos of the late Tony Zale and Rocky Graziano. The respect they have for each other is quite humbling.
Thank you. Tough fighters they were. I remember watching them.
1950's if I remember rightly 🥊👊
The problem with Carl is that he has Joe Calzaghe living in his head and Joe is loving it.
You forgot Amir Khan aswal
@@kernel1kadafi Rent free Michael. :)
@@kernel1kadafi I bet he has sleepless nights thinking about Amir on top of his Mrs 🤣🤣🤣

Fair play to you Matt good manners and respect cost nothing!
Nice one Jamie, thank you 👍🥊
Carl Froch is a Sausage & I refuse to sit anywhere near him when we go to fights & that includes Eubank Jr.
Sitting with Peter Fury who’s a boxing encyclopaedia & says it as it is. I know he has 100% respect for Matt as I’ve talked about your UA-cam channel Matt & he highly respects you as a hard working down to earth fighter.
Keep up the great content Matt. All the best. Jamie 👍🏻🥊
Thank you Jamie, that means a lot that Peter Fury said that. He let us stay up there just before my James Toney fight when I was 38, and I sparred Hughie, Tyson and Eli Frankham..
Peter is a top man, please pass on my regards.
Thank you for the message Jamie, I really appreciate it mate. 🥊👊
Big up the fury!! Can't wait for tyson to get revenge on usyk....
Spot on Pal. Manners cost nothing, especially in the fighting game. You seem like a true gentleman
Thank you very much 👊🥊
Hi Matt,, hope your well n the training's, still going well...Keep it real m8,live the vids....
Thank you Paul 🥊👊
Yeah never rated Frochs personality but was decent in the square circle. Big thanks to you Matt for the support and subscription. Been a big fan of your career for many years and was great to see you taking this new direction online. I think you'll have one of the biggest channels in a year's time, keep up the positive energy and amazing content and if I can help out with anything just give us a shout. 💯😉
Thank you, I didn't know that, Im really grateful. He was definitely a good fighter, although I never really followed him.
And thank you for the vote of confidence, I'm really happy with how it's going.
How's everything going with you?🥊👊
@@mattlegg1976 Good to hear mate, it's all about persistence and keeping the regular upload ls going. Yeah been through hell the last few months with ex Mrs and drama with police but it's all settled now so looking forward to a new start in life with my kids.
@@DeadManTalkingsForestOfFear Good luck mate. I hope it's all positive from now on. 🥊👊
I believe we should show respect to everyone, until they give you a reason not to.
100% well said 🥊👍
Thank you. Keep on making great entertainment. The videos are fantastic .
Thank you very much 🥊
Froch is one of the most hated men to ever lace a pair of gloves
100k subscribers and counting on his UA-cam channel. Yeah, everyone despises him!
@jackieboy3968 there's only 1 cobra
Evening Matt. Yeah, iv heard several stories about Carl and his lack of manners. Man, you are in some beautiful places brother. Keep fighting the good fight. Peace.
Hi Frank, his was Bromham near Bedford.
I hope you're well 🥊👊
He's a smug prick mate great content as always take care 👍
Nice one. Thank you Lee 👊🥊
Good to know. Keep up the interesting stories brother. Great work
Thank you very much 👍🥊
Manners makes men Matt unfortunately people get up them selves and think there Better than others forget where they come from..the exact same thing happened to me my old mate who won the British feather weight title fort sure Murphy totally blank me when me met after in won that title.. turned his back on a lot of his old mate's.sad really ..used to work on building sites together in the old day's..it hurt me..
That's a shame. It happens a lot by the sounds of it
I hope you're well. Thank you for the message 🥊👊
You just sealed it for me. I could never make my mind up who I preferred out of Carl or George. I think I know the answer now 👍
Lol, nice one, 🥊👍
You can see without meeting him that he has an attitude problem. Keep up the good work matt 👌👌
😂🥊👊
Always stay humble no matter how famous you become and be nice to people! 🥊
Definitely. Mike Tyson is always down to earth and he's a genuine Legend 👍🥊
Keep up the good work bud,love it 🥊
Thank you 👊🥊
Hey Matt,. Thank you for the videos,. Keep going man!! Love the content.!! 👍🏻😎
Thank you, I appreciate that. All the best 🥊👊
@@mattlegg1976 there's a few people I won't be talking to again on the strength of what you were talking about, and I'm the same as you, I will talk to anyone, but when someone is rude and impolite it takes the pi$$!! Good on you 👊🏻😎💥
Hi Matt.
I can tell how you come across and speak you are a genuine nice lad who has little care of a persons wealth or status.....basically you will treat everyone with respect and that is the way to be.
Whether someone is homeless.owns a mansion and a country .....if we do not give all the same respect when addressing them we are then the ones with the issues...
Carl Froch issue is he is a very very bitter lad....he was a good fighter with a granite chin and big punch which got him out of trouble on numerous occasions....his actual boxing was good but nowhere and I mean nowhere near the level of Joe.....who was basically a workhorse in the ring.
The difference between Calzaghe and Froch is Calzaghe would have spent half an hour with you........treating you the same way he would treat Roy Jones.....the reason he would is he is a normal humble lad.....Froch is bitter Calzaghe is retired undefeated and gets in the hall of fame....
I remember when Joes father died....the same year bearing in mind he lost his mother to covid as well Froch came out and commented about Joes red bloated face .....who in life with any decency would criticize a guy losing both parents in a pure bitter dig?....
Froch I repeat was a good pro ....but his fist saved him in a few when losing....this reply is not about who was a better boxer....it is a reply to tell you how his bitterness started.....Calzaghe......Froch is known globally as a arrogant lad but for him to do that to you does not surprise me.....no1 and I mean no1 is better than anyone in terms of status.....criminals convicted you could argue yes those crimeless are morally but on status or jobs....careers....nope.......it is a job he simpy did very well.
Carl needs to step back and have a good long look at himself.
Treating anyone in life because they are not worthy of his aura really defines him .
That's a really good message, and interesting. Thank you for posting. I do agree wholeheartedly. I've met Joe Calzaghe a few times, top guy.
Great insight there, thank you.
I didn't realize Froch said that about Joe. Very tactless.
All the best mate
🥊👊
Top bloke hard as nails but very humble. Carl froch just loves himself. Keep the videos coming mate love watching.
Matt, never lower your standards mate. It's what sets you apart. A Gentleman will be a Gentleman in any situation, now matter how adverse.
Thank you 🥊👊
I really enjoy your channel and insights into boxing and the various characters and personalities.
You can't buy class but you can choose to be rude and ignorant.
You are by far the better man.
I met him at aj v takam n he was the same.didnt speak to anybody n the security said he was like it regular to fans,deffo won't b rushing to speak to him again.
Really! Seems to be his personality. It's a shame, I'm not a fan, but I imagine people being gutted if he blanked them
Thank you for the message 🥊👊
I have known a few like Froch in my time. Not worth disturbing them, they're too much into themselves. Move on just like you did Matt. You're one o f the kind ones, never change.
Bless you Nancy. Thank you 🥊👊
Best wishes man... you seem like a good guy ✌️
Thank you. Same to you. All the best 🥊👊
That looks like Stevington Mill mate , just down the road from us . Used to be able to get the key for it from the local pub years ago, and have a look around!
That's right , ah really, I would have liked that 👍🥊
Il take your word for it mat
100% what a gentleman.
Thank you 🥊
Top bloke
Cheers mate 🥊👊
Good conversations with the right people are priceless, he was not the right person, best to let it go.
At least you both fought in front of 80000 😂
😂
😂😂😂I'm surprised he didn't mention it to me that day, lol

Watching for a while, finally subscribed.
Thank you for the sub. I'm really grateful. All the best.🥊👊
It's takes nothing to be polite and friendly in this world, sadly some don't grasp that
Well said 🥊👊
You come across as a class act matt. Manners maketh the man. Keep on keeping on brother 👍
Your the better man by far. Love 😍 your videos. Take care man big 👆
Thank you Maureen..I hope you're well 🥊👊
I had a similar experience, I think he was busy chatting up girls tbf. Can't blame you brother!
God bless
🤣🤣 Cheers mate 👊👍
He seems like a Prick, your to good of a person to worry about chump's like that. He will have to answer to the big guy upstairs when his time comes. All the best Matt & I really enjoy your content brother. 👍🇺🇲🗽🏴👍
Good man Justin. Thank you bro 🇬🇧🇺🇸 👊🥊
He'd do well to take a leaf out of your book Matt, manners, politenes cost nothing, big respect to you bruv and Thank you for always taking the time to reply, all the very best..👊🥊🥊
Nice one. Thank you Dave 🥊👊
Hi Matt I’ve done some sparring with his brother Lee ( nice guy by the way) in the past who at the time was fighting on the EBF circuit doing well. Was around Carl maybe 2 or 3 occasions and the only way I can put it into words it was like being around a diva. Would of been nice for a tiny bit of eye contact and that the one question I dared to ask was not like me asking for a kidney. Good luck to the man though one thing I will say he is a great brother to his older brother and seems like a good family man. But damn delusions of grandeur all the way.
That's interesting, thank you for sharing that. How good is Lee. I heard he's a Heavyweight.
All the best 🥊👊
@@mattlegg1976 he was pretty good for being in his early 40’s some good body shots. I think if he took boxing serious when he was younger he would of been a solid light heavyweight. to small for heavyweight if he turned pro. All the best Matt
Ok nice one. Thank you for that. It's mad how brothers can be so different.
🥊👊
It’s nice to be important but it’s even more important to be nice.
Great saying 🥊👊
World Champion should be used loosely for Froch who was absolutely schooled and outclassed by Andre Ward.
Amazing story matt thanks for sharing
Thank you Kevin. All the best 🥊
To add to what lots of others say, really enjoy the interesting video's you put out and the way you present them too! Thanks!
Matt, I'm the same as you, expect some decency and manners when putting myself/yourself out there.
That's disappointing to hear about Carl but no surprise-He comes across as a conceited bellend. Joe Calzaghe lives in his head rent free Lol. Love watching your channel m8. U r one of the few sincere, respectful guys out there. Keep it up!
mans a clown calzaghe diffrent league to froch
Thank you for the support and positivity on the channel. I really appreciate it.
I agree about Joe aswell. Great fighter.
🥊👊
I've heard Calzaghe can be a bellend too
No harm in showing gratitude to a next fellow fighter blood sweat tears 4 any man who jumps in dat square circle da things fighters go through nuffin but❤
Met him once and he was decent to me. Also then saw him being pestered moments later by some annoying guy who had the audacity to make him stop for multiple selfies, he was more patient than I would have been. Maybe you bumped into him at a bad time?
Yeah a few people are now saying he's ok, which is good to hear. Maybe an off day
Great film by the way, Midnight Run. One of my favourites.
All the best 🥊👊
@@mattlegg1976 Doesn't excuse someone being ok one minute and a twat the next, but who knows, he was fine that day and you had a different experience. Well spotted re dorfler😀
I was the same got a selfie with him at our local golf club, maybe he just had a off day matt as you've already mentioned.
Honesty clears the air, rights the wrongs, maybe Carl will respond
Thank you , that's a good way of thinking 👍🥊
The trick is every time you see him be over nice to him make his skin crawl .I'd be straight over telling him how great he is but then apologies because i thought he was Joe calzagie and just walk away 😃
Hahahah good one
Ouch 🤣🤣🤣
😂😂👍🥊👊
Totally agree mate I like humble
He once refused to split a bill at a restaurant because he didn't have onion rings
😂😂🥊👊
It was cos he ONLY had onion rings...the wally
@@beakofthesouth2666 Ahh i see. I also remember Eddie Hearn saying he was the tightest boxer he's ever worked with and he would have full blown arguments over single-digit expenses
Top man, manners go a long way
He is just a ignoramus and a legend in his own mind
Love watching all your videos.
You should have taken him some onion rings.
Be safe
🤣🤣
Whats the story with onion rings I never heard the story??
Dave Gunn said the same thing if I recall rightly, when they saw him out in Las Vegas, He said that he totally blanked them (all Nottingham lads too)
That's right, he said it on an interview we did with Kevin Lane and Norman Buckland 👍🥊
Just ignorant it's sad 👍👍
No need for it. Definitely. Thank you for the message 🥊👊
I've only just found your channel and you come across as a good genuine guy. I'm also a big admirer of Froch and I really hope that for whatever reason it was just a misunderstanding between the two of you. Would be great if you got on together if you ever come across him again.
Thank you for the message. Yeah he may of been busy.
But thank you for the message.
And all the best 👍🥊
Doubt it
