He’s a generous guy. If he can answer his own question so you don’t have to, he will. Selfless.
I can't wait to see who Carl interviews next to talk about himself. His mum? Brother?

I do agree be Carl gets half a pass on this one for bursting in because it's not just a normal guest it's his trainer and they are talking about his career and his head must be going 100mph thinking about the nights they had and things that happened.
Haven't watched a minute yet but know this will be awesome
Brilliant! McCracken may not be the most animated raconteur, but he’s thoughtful and honest. He gives Ward the respect he deserves and Froch himself. The more I hear about Froch’s career, the more I respect him. He had more successive tough fights than many and always seemed to need to prove himself, especially after losses to Kessler and Ward, and ironically win over Groves! Fascinating that McCracken thinks Foster stopped Groves’ fight fractionally too early. Love or hate him, you can’t deny Froch was a true fighting man.
Great episode. Such a lovely Bloke Rob, underrated fighter
Froch has your brother done a pod, just heard you say he’s 8years under his belt now, always good to listen to people who have that type of experience, respect to you and your brother.
i grew up working for one of robs brothers(spencer) and their dad and went to watch carl box a few times in nottingham. working there made me fall in love with boxing and i was really happy to see rob go and do great things as a coach. great boxer too. the whole family are blues mad and theyre a very well known and resepected family in birmingham. im happy carls made a podcast and i really enjoyed the groves ones and this one too.
I like the way Rob doesn’t get drawn into slagging people off 😂 I’ve warmed to Carl, especially since his reunion with groves, but I always get the feeling he steers these things to get people to say how great he is or to agree with his point 😂 strangely endearing in a way
This interview gives us great insight to the chemistry. It shows that Carl is grateful and we can see how it is in training where Rob is probably the only person who knows how to deal with Carl on every front. Both are a credit to boxing. Both humble. What you see is what you get
I honestly really like Carl, but his modesty is what impresses me the most 😂

100%. They threw some shade at him though indirectly where they talk about changing trainers when you lose
Enjoyed Carl interviewing Carl. Rob McCracken: a Gentleman amongst boxers.
Fantastic career by the way, Carl really fought them all and earned his right to be considered a super middleweight all time great and British all time great.
Loved that ! You can see how much Carl still wants the accolade and to impress his mentor…lovely stuff! And he fought EVERYONE!! 👊🏻
I could watch this kind of stuff all night. Boxing insights.
Massive respect to Carl and Rob who got the really was the right trainer for Carl
Teacher and student can see the respect Carl has for Rob he admires him
Carl Froch is what got me into boxing, the first fight with Groves got me tuned in!
Watched the fight live and it was a game changer..!! Heart of a lion
Enjoyed that karl I've always admired Rob as a boxing coach and whenever I've heard him in interviews he comes across as a genuine humble fella. 👍
What a treat that was ! As a fan it was a pleasure to watch your career together. Great nights top fights ! thank you sincerely 👏🏻🙏🏼🥊
Loved this interview. Two lovely fellas, thanks for the memories.
It was fantastic to hear the two of you talk about the past and how it all began.
Really enjoyed listening to both of you reminisce over your career thank you.
Brilliant to see them both together ❤ got to love Carl & how much respect he's got for Rob. He's taking him with him to get inducted into the boxing hall of fame. Brilliant
Really enjoying these vlogs mate.. Thanks
Love the way how a single comment from McCracken checks Froch's ego every time LOL. Great chemistry between the pair!
Really good to hear these two reminisce over their time together was really enjoyable, you can see how much Carl love Rob and repects him
Great to see you & Rob back together! Great episode 👌🏼
Beautiful, thanks
Really enjoyable watch!
Really enjoyed this. Both top guys. Good to capture some of Rob’s personality too, think many people are surprised to hear he’s a great laugh. Easy to see from this how they made such a formidable partnership.
Very enjoyable! Well in lads.
Brilliant interview carl 👏 cheers pal
I Love the videos Carl, keep them coming! When you were training for Groves for the 2nd time, I came to watch you train in Sheffield. Rob had invited my mate Vince to come up and I joined. You were a little cautious seeing two new people watching, I think you thought we were spies from the Groves camp! Anyway it was great to meet you and good to see that you still carry your confidence and humour! Lets see if John Fury takes you up on your latest suggestion :)
Really enjoyed the insight and listening to Rob who I’ve not seen in many interviews
Great stuff Carl, loving the content
Great interview guys ,Carl was tough as nails
Great interview
At last!!! Thank you, Carl. And thank you Rob for getting everything Carl had to give in the ring. Great team. You made him believe how great he could be, Rob. Of all the things you could ask of a trainer or coach in sports of any kind, that's the toughest thing to do, in my very humble opinion.
Nice one enjoyed that 👍
Rob McCracken , a credit to his sport, as a world class boxer ( watch his fight with Ensley Bingham, a classic) also as a world class trainer. Was fortunate to meet him ( Finchley boxing club) very knowledgeable and down to earth chap.btw boxing is in his blood, one of his relatives fought Jack Dempsey ( Tommy Gibbons) I think it was in 1923, ( a good read is a boxing book highlighting the fight, " Shelby folly")
welcome to Froch on fighting.....let's talk about me ....... absolutely love Froch, and these podcasts are brilliant....
What a great interview , get David walker and Matthew thirwell on . 2 great fighters who will remember your brilliant fights and spars and training sessions. I remember coming to watch you box as a kid I was. I was a walker fan , and watched you froch along the way. Get walker on what a great fighter .
world class the pair of you.💯
Loved it classic story's
Great podcast Carl .. keep it up champ!
If only AJ had the same respect for McCracken as froch did. Instead of having all the hangers on beside him spouting in his ear. Froch just had his brothers and his best pal who always had his best interests at heart. Can’t say the same for AJs team
Carl this is awesome but you gotta let the man talk more 😅

What did you think of Froch, Froch asked whimsically before Froch interjected philosophically. Anyway enough about me said Froch, what did you think of Froch, Froch mused. Froch did this, do you remember that, cos Froch remembered.

I would have liked to have seen Carl ask Rob what his thoughts on the AJ situation are, and what he felt about AJ leaving him.
Intro- ‘what I want to talk about today is my career’, classic froch
Froch can chat aye 😂👍🏻🥊 Loving the channel mate
Huge fan carl love the froch on fighting , keep it going! Bit of constructive criticism let the guests talk without being interrupted. But keep being out spoken and honest !
You know what. Rob is a really nice man very good man to have in your corner Carl u were very lucky to stumble on each other..one live and fair play on a seller career ... ...
Great work from Froch here, came out fighting
Great interview...Carl asks a question....Carl answers the question.....Mr McCracken goes with the flow and tells it as it is....brilliant !!! C'mon Carl, get JC on ;0)
Top stuff gents 👍🏼
So this was Carl talking a lot to get Rob to agree on how amazing "the Cobra" was and also justify every bloody excuse for losing?
Fabulous interview, haha Lee Meager blagging work to get to Thailand. Carl, could you ask Danny Christie to come on as a guest? He’s the British BKFC light heavyweight champion with a great back story. Thank you! P.S. I was there in Herning!
Well done Carl you’ve done us proud 🤛
Can see Carl's respect for Rob a mile off.
“Great to have you on rob, I wanna talk about my career” Fs froch 😂😂
Brilliant boxing coach!
I'm liking it Carl ,but you need a bell to ring like the end of a round when you let them answer 🥊
Is the interview part going to be uploaded next?
Absolutely classic moment in this when Carl tries to have some banter about how many people were at Wembley and Rob is so dry that Carl doesn't know if Robs joking or if Rob actually doesn't know how many were there, I'm still not sure if Rob knew the figure. Carls banter tone changes as he realises Rob actually might not know.
Big fan of Froch, but I would have liked a bit more focus towards the end on McCracken's work with other fighters and AJ.
The 80, 0000 still comedy Gold Rob is such nice guy and obviously had you best interest at heart. Think AJ won the title with him and should have stuck with him , we haven’t seen anything really different about under other trainers
Got to get the Joe Calzaghe one done. Be epic. A lot of respect for Carl. Think it’ll be a good craic and a handshake at the end.
Your a legend 👏 but I would love you to speak about other boxers,your knowledge on boxing is brilliant.
Loved that great listen.
top viewing, yeah thanks for that.
Not sure, who was being interviewed??? But Robert McCraken is a legend in the sport & extremely humble & I will be chuffed for them when they go to the 🥊🥊🥊Boxing hall of fame.... They deserve it 👍

Rob McCracken what a brilliant humble knowledgeable guy if AJ had any sense he would get rid of eveyone else apologise and get him back ad his coach
Boss interview but froch kept speaking over him
Chinwag of the year in my opinion.
Great interview! Listening to Rob, and your experience with him as a good exiting fighter like yourself.. It Really proves ALL THOSE AJ B/S IDIOTS WRONG back in the days when AJ GOT BEAT and Rob was his trainer ect. Rob really knows his sport and really knows his fighter's.. Ultimately This is important.. as fighter's now day's blame the trainer ect. Of course their are some trainer's that use the wrong tactics. like JOE JOYCE'S Trainer LOL. Great video.
First fight I saw of froch was the Taylor fight on a Sunday afternoon. Was a new boxing fan, 16 years old. Was a huge fan of carls ever since, even though he’s a prick haha. Proper fighter, hard, fit and determined. Favourite British fighter
Full respect to rob. Poor fella couldn't get a word in.
I knew Carl was a great fighter but when you hear all the intracasies of each fight, like the Ash cloud, the Taylor fight in hostile territory and all the tough world class guys he thought like Abraham in a freezing cold Finland you realise just how great those victories were. Carl faced so many dangerous opponents with many on foreign soil with everything against him and found a way to beat the lot bar Ward. Without doubt the best resume of opponents I can think of from a british fighter since Lennox Lewis's career for me.
