    What are you talking about? Was I wrong when I said how Fury and Wladimir would go...? Not at all, the fight was like I said it would be

    There were a few factors as to why I slightly favoured Sulecki. there are certain boxers that I think would beat him clearly also but he just seemed wrong for Jacobs with the style and height

    So, do you still think Froch beat Ward?

    How about when many experts had Dirrell winning the fight against Froch but you gave him almost no rounds?

    You remember your prediction with Hatton vs Mayweather? Or your reaction afterwards?

    Did you have Leo Santa Cruz beating Carl Frampton in their rematch?

    Etc.. etc..

    I think if he bulks up a little and adds a bit more muscle to try and increase his punching power it will be really beneficial for him.

    Even Jacobs agreed with you about his height being a problem. Jacobs looked the bigger man in there weight wise and he obviously held a power advantage over him too, but in terms of skill I think Sulecki held the edge.

    At the time I wrote that alot would depend on where the fight was taking place
    How many of the home fighters lost in the S6? Not many
    How many SMW champs have lost in their home country to an away fighter? Not many
    Ward didnt seem to want to travel in the S6 so we will never know if he could have done well in Europe
    No rounds?
    Boxing News, Boxing Monthly had Froch winning and Froch had the higher punch stats. What are you going on about?
    Yes. I was a big fan of Floyd and never a fan of Hatton. I made a bet for Floyd to win in round 8 and Hatton did better than I thought but Floyd was an ATG and one of my all time favourite fighters.
    My reaction afterwards was that Hatton did better than I thought he would?
    What are you going on about?
    Think the issue is with you

    Cant remember? Why?


    So your whole reason for coming out from under the rock is to state that I said the Froch/Ward final location could be a factor? Lol, and it was. Ward wasnt an away fighter once and didnt want to rematch Froch in Nottingham from what I recall
    How many American SMWs have won a title fight away in Europe. Please answer that and then tell me out of how many fights. Cant wait for you to duck this

    Some I did

    I fell short of time to do a thread with Groves to beat Eubank and thought I didnt want to miss doing the Sulecki/Jacobs one

    Just as I thought, that rant about Froch / Ward shows you haven't changed.

    The point I made here is that you give UK fighters the benefit of the doubt. You're bitter about Froch losing to Ward due to location, yet have no issue with Dirrell getting shafted in Froch's hometown. The only difference is that Ward completely outclassed Froch (really no matter where this fight would have taken place), while it's pretty much split down the middle Dirrell won against Froch but got the short end of the stick. Your hypocrisy shows through your predictions, is all I'm saying.

    I dont know why you think Froch losing a fight would mean much to me. I was a Calzaghe fan.
    The point I made was location can count and Froch doing so much travelling must have been very fatiguing and that he took bigger gambles than Ward. Nothing bitter about that but more you feeling insecure about me stating it
    You have no basis other than being hurt from me schooling you on such subjects.

    So you have done a 360 and can only say me saying location can make a difference when talking about a tournament years ago and in that tournament how many of the original line up lost their first home fight? None
    I notice how you ducked that and feel insecure about me mentioning that fact, so much so that you bring it up years later on a Jacobs/Sulecki fight how many years later...? And you say I have an issue lol

    Look at this post, and look what I stated earlier about you making excuses when your hometown fighter loses.

    Thanks for making my point.

    ??? You asked about an old comment of mine and I gave details. Hows that anything to go on. I noted how the original line up had better success in their home fights? You seem to be grasping at straws and still without any substance, just looking for something and so much so you are bringing up something I said before a boxing match nearly 7 years ago. Weird to say the least

    Before you accuse others of "grasping at straws", you should try not doing so yourself. Every single response from you was one compounded excuse after another. I brought up Froch/Ward/Dirrell because that easily showcases your hypocrisy rather well.

    You brought up this thread referencing your post history, but your predictions, especially when it comes to UK fighters, are literally all and the same. So there is no "hindsight" as you claim. You, just as I accurately pointed out, have a biased prediction pattern. Not just regarding Froch, but all UK fighters in general. Even recently with Brook against Spence, another one with an endless coffer of excuses for Brook's loss. I can keep naming more and more examples and you'll just come up with further excuses.

    An oversight. I would put Clen at 3 or 4. But you have to be drug free to make the list.

    WTF? I dont even know half of what you are going on about lol
    We are on a Sulecki/Jacobs thread and neither are from the UK, yet here you are going on about me saying location can make a difference to a fight that happened around 7 years ago and you call it hypocrisy about one travelling and not the other? Odd thing for you to come out with. Thats a serious issue you have got there and its something that I guess would be agreed with as Ward had it that he was not travelling for the S6. You are disputing Ward not travelling rather than me for saying location can be a factor. Seems like something that has bugged you not me. Think you need a bit of help there.
    Now for the last time, Jacobs, Golovkin, Pirog and Sulecki are not fighters from the UK. In fact they are all from completely different places but none of those places being in the UK. That help you out a bit?
