Carl Froch has never been one of Sugarcoat. On its own Froch about battles YouTube channel, “The Cobra” went straight to the pitcher and said he had no interest in seeing Deontay Wilder of Anthony Joshua continue. For Froch, both men run on fumes and ruin the remains of their legacies.
“I’m not interested in seeing Wilder fight again from what I saw. His punching power seems to be gone, his legs also seem to be gone, when he is cut, he struggles. I just don’t see why these fighters should destroy and destroy their legacy.
Why Froch thinks the heavyweights are done
He is not wrong about the decline. Joshua was hacked and knocked out by Daniel Dubois, while Wilder’s Aura has evaporated fear since Fury has torn him apart. Wilder’s four losses in recent years speak for itself. Even his victory over Tyrrell Herndon in June felt hollow-a lasting fight against an opponent who had no business there.
Joshua vs Wilder was once the heavyweight the world wanted, but it now feels like an echo of a decade-old fantasy. The timing has passed, and the glamor is gone.
Does box really need Joshua vs. Wilder in 2025?
The problem is the money men see another payday. Speaking of Joshua vs. Wilder refusing to die, even though both men look like shadows of whom they were in their primes. Froch’s attitude is brutal, but honest: he doesn’t want to see faded heavyweights stumbling for one last cash.
Take me? He is right. Fans should stop begging Joshua vs Wilder as if it is still 2018. Boxing went on. Heavyweight is now Dubois, Ulsyk, Itauma, and whoever comes through. Joshua and Wilder hanging on, do not inspire, suppress it. Time to walk aside before being carried out of the ring.
