Does Froch deserve credit for fighting Bute, instead of a warm up fight?

It's Froch that needs Bute. Not the other way round. And that fact that it's taking place in Froch's back yard, Bute rightfully so has been recieving more of the adulation from the public out of the two.

 

Any news on Froch guys? About his sparring partners, some footage, anything? According to his twitter account, he lives a pretty normal family life while training. Am I right?

 

Yes he does.

 

Froch is a very good fighter but if he wins, what is next for him? A rematch with Ward is pointless because the first fight was not even competitive. If Bute wins, a clash with Ward will be huge to find out who is the man at 168.

 

Why woudln't he deserve credit ? He is what boxing fans should root for !

Fights who ever when ever where ever ..Unlike the guy he's facing now !

The Corba is the example that other boxers should follow in order to acheive greatness !

 

Strange assertion at this point.

 

The words "warm-up", and "tune-up" fight aren't in Froch's vocabulary

All he does is fight the best - been doing so since 2008, and will continue doing so until his retirement. . . He's arguably got the strongest stint of competition faced since Oscar De La Hoya in his prime. . . Nobody else in boxing since Oscar, has continuously fought the best. . . Of course Froch's stint of competition isn't near the level of Oscar's, but it's "the best" since that time IMO.

 

Except for this fight.:yep

 

How is Froch fighting Bute a warm up, or "tune up"?

Bute is the second best SMW in the world right now? Ward didn't want any piece of him, so Froch stepped up to the plate. . .

 

Can't believe you're actually asking me that.:-(
Thought you had a bit more about you.

 

Im confused :huh

 

He's just joking, pretending Bute is just an easy warm up fight. He doesn't believe it.

 

Ahh, that's what I was thinking. . .

Pardon the ignorance - never been the best at detecting tones/sarcasm over the internet atsch

 

Froch went from having a soft resume to having one of the toughest resumes of any champion in recent memory.
