    I think it depends on the loss. I would say Hopkins loss to Calzaghe, Marquez losses to Pacquio etc should still count.
     
  2. So debatable losses then


    Because talking strictly British here,I think Naz,hatton and froch go up in my estimation for sharing the ring in BIG showdowns with Barrera,mayweather,pacman and ward


    I'm not talking Jennings and cotto here,I'm talking unification level fights

    I think you can give credit to Froch for the first Kessler fight in Denmark but Hatton & Naz lost every round in those big fights.
     
  4. That's why I'm talking British legacy only as us Brits don't often reach those heights so they are achievements in themselves

    Thats fair do's then mate.....I reckon some bloke called Barrera wasnt on your Hammed list!

    Froch's 'fight' resume' is up there. Its above the Klitschko's cos they rule the roost above everyone and the ones they hav lost to (bar lennox) aint all that.

    Carls fights for the last 4 years have been up there. Carls not a better P4P'er - but the topic is resumes.

    I dont think anyone is 'going on and on' about it but boxing needed something refreshing like this and Froch has come up trumps TWICE in the last 12 months.

    People get excited, thats sport.

    Two of the judges had it 115 - 112 and I scored it the same,yes Barrera won the fight but it wasn't as one sided as people make out,Nas had his moments too and landed some big shots,he just looked sluggish that night against Barrera and it was obvious he hadn't trained hard.Emanuel Steward said HBO sent Nas tapes of Barrera and Nas didn't even bother to watch them because he was so confident of the win.

    People that say Nas didn't win a round or that he got destroyed need they're eyes checked.

    The only two British boxers still alive that are in the IBHOF are Lennox Lewis and Ken Buchanan.
