admit it....who was fooled by Hatton's boxing career?

Many of the big name Americans didn`t want to fight Nigel Benn.Roy Jones ducked him and McClellan was sent over to bash him up.

Benn was a very good fighter in his prime and would have beaten Toney, Nunn and the rest he never avoided or ducked anybody.

 

nah benn was good but your taking the ****, most of those fighters would have beaten benn and he would prob tell you that himslef.

 

Looks like we will have to agree to disagree on that one.....Benn went to America and destroyed De Witt and Iran Barkley the latter had pushed Nunn all the way and had impressive victories over many good fighters including Thomas Hearns.

The top Americans all knew about Benn especially Jones jnr who Benn called out numerous times.Toney muted a fight but thought better of it,Benn never ducked anyone but I am sure now that the adrenilin has long since gone Nigel would be very modest about his achievments and how he would fair against his peers.

 

I was one of Benn's biggest fans but i couldn't of seen him beating Jones and Toney.Nobody could ever enter the ring with Nigel Benn without feeling in danger and that includes those two,but remember Nigel struggled with Watson and Eubank but Jones and Toney were a notch above those guys. Nunn i think was much more vulnerable and i think Benn could have beaten him.

 

Right on! I was nodding in agreement as I read it.

 

Yet again you sum it up perfectly.

Frochy went and fought Taylor and took a huge risk when he could have stayed in England and fought for same amount of money.

Do we all rank Independence day a better film than Shawshank redemption? Or course we bloody dont but comercially the latter was far more succesful.

Boxing is a brutal sport and certain fighters manage there carrers well and pick and choose and some dont.

I have a sneeky belief that Mayweather ic coming back becuase the Pacman has destroyed his two previous BIG wins in far easier fashion.

 

Fighting who?

 

Anyone he liked........holds the WBC.........and if the WBC stripped him could have still fought for money with British TV offering a sizeable amount.

 

Ignore him, he's a damn fool. Anyone who 'big ups' Betty and his crew are ******s, at best.

 

I really didn't want to respond but this quote did make be chomp at the bit!

British TV didn't even want the exclusive, live rights to screen him fighting Taylor. How the hell are they going to offer him 'a sizeable amount' to fight a nobody????

You're not very clever are you? Go have a glass of milk and a lie down.

 

Froch is 31, you think he wants to spend the next 2 years fighting at Nottingham Arena for £100,000 a fight until someone outpoints him?

He's realist, he knows he has a couple of years to cash in on the title and taking it on the road is usually a champions best option to do it esp. if their home support isn't that huge.

How much do you think ITV4 would pay Froch without a title?

 

Bang goes your credibility lol

 

Not at all..........i dont need credibilty from you or anyone on here.......your just made up names that write on here.

Very few get it spot on.

Froch could easily have picked an easier fighter.........and if he was forced to fight Taylor he could easily have let go of the belt and fought someone else.

Point being is that he took a huge gamble pretty quickly once he became champ.

Is Froch a great fighter? Of course not it to early for that sort of thing........is he better than Hatton? Of course its to early and he was fortunate that Taylor lost his focus and stamina BUT the main thing is he took the gamble and fought in someone back yard.

Im not to sure what the money he got from taylor but it isnt more than 1 mill..........especially as UK tv didnt even buy the fight.

As i said before he could have stayed in England and picked and chose who he fought claiming he was the champion at Super-Middleweight, there is now talk of him fighting Hopkins.........i mean it took Calzaghe years to takes these type of gambles.

He took one when he stepped up to face Eubank.........but then you need to step up sooner or later......then was was content to fight men who were no hopers untill he beat a dangerous Lacy and showed his quality.....then handpicked again and took on the best he ever fought (prime) in kessler......then handpicked hopkins and Jones......Hopkins even at an advanced age for me only lost it by one round when viewing the fight.

Calazaghe and Hatton are prime examples of being groomed.....with nice shiny records and a long list of fighting guys who were names but past it or some type of angle to it.

It the same with Amir Khan.

Froch victory over Taylor trumps the lacy win already that calzaghe gained......and who know what he could achieve.

 

joker........you reckom the WBC champ will get 100 grand hehehehehehehehehehhe

 

Shut ur piehole u little girl............big up a crew? this isnt some postcode ****ing war u moron...........by my mere suggestion that betty whoeever and scurla are bang on shows i agree with them.......i dont need to big them up u simpleton.
