    This,it`s one of the best fights that can be made and will be one of the best fights on British soil this year,it might not be as "meaningful" as Calzagae-Kessler but i don`t give a ****.DFTaylor should stop running this fight down because ppv or no ppv this is a great fight and if this isn`t good enough for him,maby he should try out another sport

    Amazing all the hurt feelings going around. Please show me where I've ever said it's a bad fight?

    You won't be able to because I haven't. Why do idiots like you and Rob insist on making the debate about something else entirely?

    This is not a PPV fight because Froch is not a star in the UK. It's a desperate move by Hearn to cover significant costs he can't generate from his name fighter.

    If Froch WAS a genuine PPV fighter, the negotiations wouldn't have been so difficult and Kessler wouldn't be getting paid quite so much.

    Also, go **** yourself.

    Keep telling yourself that and ignore the utterly solid logic of my argument.

    You`re running the fight down by saying Kessler is near shot,nobody thinks that,he maby isn`t what he was,but near shot nah not a chance.I will be stunned if there are three big fights in the uk which will be better then this by the end of the year.

    Plenty of people on here think he IS shot - I just think he's clearly on the slide. His performances in the Green and Magee fights were hardly impressive.

    But, once again, please show where I said this was a bad fight.

    That is ****ing priceless. You think you've proved a point when the example you used has me saying nothing of the sort. I really think you struggle with your reading comprehension.

    I said it wasn't big or meaningful, I never said it wouldn't be good. Try harder, Rob.

    Once again, that doesn't at any point show me saying this is a bad fight. I don't think it's meaningful. The two are very different.

    you said the fight is meaningless. that implies the fight is bad. everyone who read that post read it that way which is why so many people took issue with it.

    even if you dont think its bad, the fight is still meaningful and its crazy to suggest otherwise

    if this fight is meaningless, what fights are you looking forward to this year? like Ash said if your not pumped for Froch vs Kessler, try another sport.

    You added more to your post. First, did I say the fight was MEANINGLESS?

    No, I said it wasn't especially meaningful. You, as usual, jumped to an extreme - one which I didn't actually say. I didn't imply anything, you inferred everything.

    Second, I said right after the fight was made that I was looking forward to this. But I also don't think it's as compelling as the first fight. Why do you struggle to accept I can hold nuanced views on a topic? Not everything is black and white.

    Drop the smug attitude. I've been watching this sport longer than you and appreciate its history a lot more.

    Saying a fight is not meaningful is the exact same thing as saying its meaningless!
