    Using your bizarre logic, Mayweather is the most successful boxer of all time?

    When did i say that was my logic i was saying if someone is in boxing for a kiving and to seem them thro life financially ie A JOB then yes money can be a measure for success. If floyd is in the sport for the money and the money only then in his eyes he is the most successful ... My god Solaris you really cant fukin read properly !!

    Using your idiot logic, anything can be defined as success.

    Absolutely dumbfounding stupid from you as usual.

    You're a waste of my time.

    Pac Man beat P4P fighters and won in 8 different divisions.

    Froch didn't beat a single P4P fighter, nor win a title in any division but his own.

    To compare the two is childish and idiotic. Your speciality it seems.

    Kessler 2 was an awful sh.tfest. very very poor fight. Kessler was gunshy & shot and Froch was hitting air most of the night. both figters were as slow as molasses & swinging wildly. u must be very easily impressed, or just led on by the commentators howling about how great a fight you are watching. :smoke

    And sure froch has been involved in some entertaining fights because he has no choice but to block punches with his chin - for a SMW which is clearly a **** division. But objectively speaking concerning all weight divisions if you struggle to name "better entertaining fights over the last decade" you don't watch enough boxing. :!:

    Jeez do i really need to spell this out for you.

    I never compared Froch to anyone spongebob YOU said he wasnt the best in his weight class "Froch was never even close to being the best in the division. " that was YOUR quote therefore if that was the case i said you can right off Pacman, Frazier Hearns etc.... that was your logic not mine numbnuts !


    Secondly u said "so does money = success" to which i said IF read IF a boxer enters the sport and he does it to make money and support himself get thro life and set himself up for the future then yeah money could=success ..... at what point did i say this i what I believe ?!

    If a boxer in the sport to be number 1/ undefeated/take on the best/multiple weight champion then no money does not=success it all depends on what you are in the posrt for.

    I am not in the sport therefore cannot comment on what i would consider a success.

    Have you taken your medicine this moring ...even for you this is pretty dumb !

    What a complete ****.

    He is def retiring to avoid someone in the weight class below.

    I don't like Froch but he doesn't avoid anyone including James Degale. He fought at elite world class level for 6 years. In that he time he boxed Andre Ward P4P number 2 who will prob never lose in his career.

    He also boxed and beat Lucien Bute who was being hyped up nearly as much as GGG was by some Canadians.

    People have to remember he has already boxed and beaten people better than Golokovin and that's a fact.

    ok you didnt like it ... your opinion ... i did not as much as kessler 1 obv but I still enjoyed it.

    and ur second point, name me a fighter and the fights (preferably British) that has been in as many exciting fights as Frochs in the last decade ..... Im not saying this is a fact it has to be opinion ... whats yours ... what fighter in your opinion has given us the same entertainment in the ring over the last decade as Froch ?

    Avoided GGG :lol:

    The man fought everyone around, all the big names that were put in front of him... travelled into there back yard, fought as the underdog as well.

    The exact same people who spout *******s about him "ducking GGG" .. when no negotiations took place and the man has never fought at SMW .. would be the exact same people who would say GGG was too small, hadn't fought anyone, was a hypejob etc if and when Froch beat him.

    I wasn't talking about the man I was talking about his fights.

    And I was commenting that there have indeed IMO been better more entertaining fights than those u mentioned, over the last decade, and it's not hard to name. Although Groves1 was certainly a very entertaining fight who was mostly responsible for that? Groves or Froch? Hard to say.

    Now personally Froch's slow, ungainly & uncoordinated style is very unpleasing to the eye. So I don't watch his fights for Froch per say, rather I find I'm mostly watching the other fighter. To each their own tho.

    But I don't agree that Froch has provided us the most entertaining fights of the decade..not at all. Most elite lower weightclass fights blow any smw fight out of the water...if u said SMW then I might have agreed. But once again it takes two to tango and it's hard to take sole credit for something involving two people.

    there may have been better individual fights yeah but not a culmination of great fights by the same boxer ...

    Froch's style maybe uneasy on a technical coaches level but certainly not as a spectacle in terms of a fight (hence why he has been in so many great fights and why casuals find it easy to get onboard)

    Collectively as i said i cant think of any fighter especially from britain that has gave us as many really exciting fights over that decade and Im yet to see anyone post some else to give me food for thought ...i very well may have missed someone obvious but certainly no one comes to mind... What fighter would you consider has given us this many exciting fights over the last decade?

    Sorry if i didnt make it clear but i was talking about exciting fights over the last decade involving the same boxer.

    i was there lot more froch fans in the main stand i was in, so your talking pish. Froch has sold out 02 and MEN, Groves could not sell out Wembley arena for Rebrasse on back of Carl knocking him out.

    I told you already I just dont rate his fights that highly due to his abhorrent style. So put any big name fighter up there and most likely they are far more entertaining to me than Froch.
