Again I understand what you're saying, however Anthony calls himself Mr 2 time. Mr 2 time what exactly? Froch has won a world recognised belt after a champion has vacated. Sorry but Echols was shot (literally) and Soliman is a middleweight at best. That being said, they were solid contenders and Anthony deserves his credit. Froch meanwhile, despite being 31, has only had 24 fights. I think his career has been progressingly steadily. A resume of Porras, Magee, Dodson, Tatevoysan (who's fought everyone) a shot Reid and Pascal is not a bad little resume. It's not going to be confused with the who's who of Death Row, but it's not bad none the less. As I said, he looks like he's after big fights. He's called out Calzaghe for years and many others. That to me is more impressive than running out of the division. Don't get me wrong. I know you're not backing Choc, and this post isn't necessarily aimed at you. I guess I'm just more impressed with the guy who's seeking challenges than the guy who's running from them. Also the C'Wealth title gives you a good ranking with the WBC and is still held with a fair degree of prestige. Certainly more than Pan African belts etc.
Didn`t disrespect the guy,didn`t mean to, but isn`t he a featherweight?Jambo was on at me about Yuri Gamboa being farrr more dangerous than Carl Froch.:-((
Carl seeking challenges, well that's to be determined...he's had enough time in the sport to land something. He could very well be doing a mundine and just talking about wanting challenges. Anyway he wont be around long
When he steps up and loses to Kessler, then rematches him, then we can say he's more ballsier than Mundine. Lets see him walk his talk before we start bringing judgement on his nuts.
Time is on his side. He hasn't been in wars. After 24 fights, his resume is light years ahead of Mikkel's at the same point. As I said about 30 posts ago, he's got the WBC strap now, it'll be decent fights from here on in, on the proviso he can keep it. It'll be fun watching, regardless. No doubt Mundine will be praying like **** Abraham and Sturm can unify so he can swoop in for the 2nd tier title.... again.
Kessler is only 29 now though, and probably has more years of boxing left in him than Froch does. The fact that he's only had 24 fights doesn't mean that much unless Kessler has experienced batterings in his fights, but thats not the case here.
My point is that Carl is only 2 years older and hasn't been in a single war apart from his last. He had an extensive amateur career however.
I like Carl Froch, big mouth but ready to back it up. But I think he will loose first time he actually step up, to poor in any department.
Froch may have taken 6 years to get a title shot. He has been after one for 18 months though, and been ready for it too. Mundine jumped in early against Ottke because he was feather fisted and near the end of his career. Mundine would run so is not going to outscore Froch. Hes not going to ko him. Froch could and i think would ko him. WHo would your UK v AUs matchups be through the divisions right now ?
