    Nowhere near.
    It's pretty much accepted that it took far too long for Froch to get on the radar.Tris Dixon,the editor of Boxing News,told me as much when I asked him why Sky hadn't picked him up.Adam Smith had just got the top job and was looking to put it right,which he then went on to do.

    And Hoopsman,what do you base your prediction on? Didn't you pick Bute to stop him last time?
    Not being shitty,just curious to know what makes people think Bute can win other than loyalty as a fan.

    The fact that you play dumb just be cause is convenient for you still remains.
    That guy never said he believes Bute is better than Froch based on the Facebook like's, was only making a point in the difference on popularity.
    Carry on, you're doing a great job like you're a natural.

    :lol:

    You're digging it bro. :dead

    I read the thread and PTF already pointed out the problems with Tobias' first post so I won't repeat everything. Go read those posts if you want to know my thoughts.

    Also the fact that you think my post is "******ed" yet you don't have anything to say about Tobias' post in this particular thread shows that you act in a convenient way too. Anyway. :dead:dead

    Bute has such a shitty defence and when you look at both Froch and Bute they both fight with there hands down winging in punch's. Froch's chin is pure granite he took some good shots of Bute and didnt flinch..
    I have to say i like Froch's style as much as i like to look at Mayweathers skills in amazement ,you cant beat a good old slugger i respect a hard man as much as the tactician. Froch is a beast at super middleweight no question about it. I really think Froch had a shitty night against Ward and i think its alot different outcome in the rematch as for Bute i just see the same outcome unless Bute halts him early..

    if every boxer had Froch's attitude, boxing would be massive.

    Maybe if Bute stayed off the ropes he would have survived 2-3 rounds more.

    Why was he just standing against the ropes like a punchingbag?

    It was actually an "in" joke amongst some Froch fans HMB.
    Check out the first post on the battleship thread for where the seed was sown.

    You stopped hating Bute before the Froch fight so you were on his side on his worst night. :lol:

    I hope there is a rematch. It could make a good story, even if Bute loses again. I Prefer him to lose than to hide.
