If Joshua is a fake champ, was the same true of Froch?

    Never beat the main man in the division and was never the number one in the division either, so was he a fraud? :huh

    Not at all, no shame in losing to Andre Ward. Froch was a Warrior who overachieved in boxing.

    They unbanned your Solaris account then?

    And no Froch wasn't a 'fake' champion. He didn't win any of his belts against as poor as Charles Martin, who I think we can agree is the boxing equivalent of a lottery winner. I say that as someone who found Carl immensely aggravating.

    Obviously I'm unbanned, hence me posting. Still as thick as ever I see.

    Technically no as Ward was not active during the end of Froch's run, he was removed from various rankings due to not fighting in god knows how long.

    No.

    Fought more or less everyone there was around and came up short against Ward who was the numero uno.

    AJ and his buddy Hearn on the other hand are counting there lucky stars Fury came along and unlocked the belts. AJ has come along and fair play to him, took advantage of the situation and beat a poor title holder who in my opinion basically came over here to lie down.

    For all those years Wlad was champ you didn't see him being stripped, it's laughable.

    What the hell are you talking about, how can you even compare the two at this point.

    Neither beat "the man" to win their belts so it's a valid comparison.

    I thought this account had been permabanned post your Tibbs showdown meltdown. You might remember that incident. It was when you bricked your y-fronts after giving it large to a mentally ill alt making midget.

    I'd welcome you back to your old account Jackie but you're still the same tragic little wally so I won't. Feel free to respond to any of the boxing related part of the post at any point.

    Not at all, it's a stretch to call Joshua a champion right now because he hasn't really beat a champion to get his belt and the guy who he did beat won it in a vacant bout.

    Froch beat plenty of champions and fought a who's who in the division. If AJ goes on to fight Fury, Wilder, Klitschko and Haye, win or lose, then we can start making comparisons.

    Neither is a fraud.

    As much as I'm sure the forum enjoys reading your mealy mouthed responses I think everyone would appreciate it if you could at least pretend to discuss the matter at hand.

    This is a boxing forum, not a self help portal for you to deal with your phobia of little men so to answer your first question - AJ might turn out to be a better champion than Froch in the sense that he might be the bona fide number one in his division at some point which Carl never was.

    At the moment though, he's won one title with no lineage off of one of the worst belt holders in heavyweight history. Hardly comparable with the achievements of Mr. Froch.
