Dawned on me the other day that Chisora will be having his fifth fight (fourth against a world rated opponent) in the space of a year, I know he's not everybody's cup of tea, but regardless thats quite an accomplishment. Last boxer to do that was Prince Naseem in 1997.

I really like the fact that him and Froch aren't scared to fight the best, regardless whether there on the same level as there opponents or not, sometimes just having the balls can really pay off, there both setting a great example to the rest of the british boxers, let's hope others can follow suit, cleverly should take notice.

Peter Buckley, in the same space of time as Dels "reign of terror", fought Barry Jones x 2, Duke McKenzie x 2, Naz x 2 plus others in a career which saw him lose to 42 future British, European and World Champions....just saying.

David Haye & Vitaili Kiltschko are both all time greats. David Haye is a top 10 cw of all-time, and one of the better heavyweights if this era! And his career is not over by a long shot. Carl Froch has fought no all time greats, he has fought fighters that are good today? But really? None of them have stood the test of time, Wardz, Bute, Abraham could all be flash in the pan type of guys, Jermaine Taylor is the only fighter who I would say was truly proven as a great fighter, and stood the test of time.
Froch is a over achiever, I give him that credit. I don't understand how he beat Jean Pascal, I am still alarmed by how slow Froch is. He is the slowest elite fighter /champion since George Foreman? Pascal is abit of a retard like, if he would of used more straight punches against Froch he would of won easy. Froch sometimes does a amazing impression of a tree waving about in the wind. |
