    He's a weird troll mate who just makes nonsenical posts in threads, pretty sad really. There's nothing to 'get' at all.

    Froch is in the company of Lewis, Benn and Buchanan with regards to respect.

    lennox is too, Froch is up there with the best of British boxers ever even just for excitement and courage, heart, and maybe more so to please his fans displaying his toughness

    Certainly Eubank, Lennox and Froch come to mind as the fighters who'd fight anyone.

    Bob Arum admitted he kept his lb4lb stars (Nunn, Toney, Jones) well clear of Eubank when Chris was begging for the fights, and Don King won't admit that he kept his prize assets (Bowe, Holyfield, Tyson) well clear of Lennox when Lewis was asking for them. And Froch, win, lose or draw, continues to take on supposedly top fighters, not afraid of embarassment (Taylor, Dirrell, Ward) or beatings (Taylor, Kessler) and unstopped from them - he keeps going! Wading in, wailing away, chin up... no warm-up fights. Respect.

    Tackle was a step up at the time, oliviera and Philips durable guys while he waited for his shot at tszyu. Hatton had a spell where he needed to step up but ****** was happy to milk easy money but the fact he fought tszyu and then colazzo, and especially floyd, manny overseas gets him a pass IMO

    Hatton never pretended he was a world champ in that spell, ****** takes the blame for that wbu shite, hatton forced ****** to make the tszyu fight. ****** would've carried on with the men wbu shows forever if he could

    doesn't match frochs crazy run of fights but you are harsh on hatton there

    Look at Joe's record and then looks at Carl's record 30 fights in.

    Reid (Arguably a loss), Woodhall (Good win) and a shop-worn Eubank are the biggest names on there. And then look at the rest of his record inbetween those 30 fights.

    ****ing laughable. :lol::D
