    Here's another:


    "I'm not going back and sulk and think, 'That's it, it's over, I'm useless.' I'm fighting at the top level. And at the top level fighters get beat. There are fighters over the years who have retired, legends, and they've got two, three, four losses on their records. They're are fighters who have retired unbeaten and people say, 'Yeah, he's all right, he's not bad, but he never really fought anybody.' I've fought the lot of them."

    He's 100% right. This is why I respect Froch but not Slappy Joe. It has nothing to do with being American.

    Good for him, but the lack of respect he has shown Bute, probably the classiest boxer and citizen ever, before his fight with Ward, is not what i call class. Hyping up the upcoming fight, you say? Perhaps, but he should have concentrated on Ward instead of disrespecting Bute

    Harkens back to what Ward was trying to teach Carl during the "Staredown":

    "Carl, I was raised to not call myself great. I will leave that for others to do."

    Carl, count yourself among those others.:lol::lol:

    How ironic.

    Funny thing about this fight, Ward won a lot of new fans in the UK & Froch has more US fans.

    Even in the unlikely event that Bute learns to speak English, after Froch busts him up (twice), we'll see if LB's quite so magnanimous in defeat.

    You know who he's talking about in that one.:lol:

    Bute couldn't care less about english, he's a Québécois and has been speaking french since his 3rd month here. There's a reason we worship him here, he's a role model, not only for immigrants but for the entire society.

    The last Habs captain, Saku Koivu, has not been able to say a single french word in 13 years in Montreal.

    That quote shows the level of respect these fighters have for Ward and his skills. More ESB folks should let that sink in.

    And big props to Froch for standing tall in defeat. That, is real 'G' sh!t right there.

    Your ******* brain has the nerve to compare this fight to the schooling JMM gave to "he who will not be named".

    Anyway, this isn't that kind of thread, so STFU.
