    Not interested in the bickering here, but Froch's resume is already aging like a fine wine.

    Froch is a bit of an arrogant ***** for the working class boxer and overachiever that he is but the guy was a man. Always taking tough fights and did really well.
    Definitly had more balls than Fury has. His wife is hotter as well.

    I'm really tired and I misheard what The Cobra said about having 11 wins over world champions. I thought he said he beat 11 world champions so I decided to see if I could remember them all without having to cheat. I got stuck on 9 and it was doing my head in so I had to cheat after wasting my time racking my brain.

    It is 9 so I win even though I cheated :campeon::facepalm:

    Not a fan of Froch but you have to admire his bottle went to America and beat Jermain Taylor in a great fight. Destroyed an undefeated Lucian Bute in which he was the underdog.

    Lost to Andre Ward no shame in that, and lost a close decision to Kessler no shame in that in which he revenged.

    I feel that Fury fans are more delusional than Wilder fans ever were at this point, with Fury himself being far more delusional at present than Wilder ever was.

    Reality: went 12 and won a wide UD.

    Maybe Vitali would have won if he'd been the A-side that time but unlike Fury he wasn't, so he got stopped by the doctor.

    Indeed.

    Fury had already accomplished more in 2015 than Carl "0-1 with Ward, 1-1 with Kessler" Froch did in his whole career.

    Are you crazy ? When our soft belly cries for minutes after a body shot from dubois he will need a stretcher to be removed from the canvas when wilder windmills him ;-) This fight won,t happen .

    I think Froch gets a harder time than he deserves - he always has his tongue in his cheek but people always take it as arrogance when he's actually just trying to be funny.

    ****ing great fighter too.

    Carl Froch
    Tony Bellew
    David Haye

    Nobody likes this self serving self fellating Eddie Hearn sucking trio of mediocrity.

    Fury was gifted that match because he had recently signed that massive deal with ESPN. That’s why he fought in Las Vegas in the first place.

    No matter how much you ride his dong it’s common knowledge that he was only allowed to finish the match because of boxing corruption. He needed 47 stitches for that gash and it was a TKO, deal with it. Without that ESPN deal or the fight taking place in the States, your boy would have been duly stopped by the referee.

    This alone tells anyone how much you don’t know anything about boxing. When someone needs 47 stitches for a massive gash right on the eyebrow that’s not up for debate - it’s a textbook TKO. Maybe look up what TKO means and what it entails, that might help.

    "it was a TKO, deal with it"

    I don't need to deal with anything, Fury won. You're the one having to engage in desperate revisionism to make yourself feel better.

    We're one day away from the 10 year anniversary of Haye's duck of Fury (Haye also ducked Cunningham). I'll post about it tomorrow.
