    Who is currently the 'worst boxer in the world'?

    This is of fighters at or around championship level of course.

    Froch is good.

    He can't box, at all.

    Will never be a technically sound boxer.

    But he can fight his heart out. Unlike some chicken **** boxers cough*Dirrell*cough.

    Many Froch fans will dismiss threads like this as Froch-hating, particularly by Americans who are upset over the Dirrell decision. But I think those folks are only seeing half the picture. While it is true that many posters are simply upset at the decision, others, like myself, have been saying for months now that Froch was and is an incredibly overrated fighter. But still, we have to sit through the countless pro-Froch threads and articles that claimed Froch was going to embarrass the "brash" young American.

    Urango sucks? He dominated Ngoujo. He went 12 with Hatton. Went 12 with Berto and made Berto look awful and had he done more would have won. He got his ass off the canvas after a big Bailey right that would have kept everybody in the division out cold on the canvas. And several rounds later clobbered him for a stoppage.

    This is esb.... if your not Floyd Mayweather, Ali or SRR.... you 'suck'... usually uttered by guys whove never passed the state level in boxing if theyve ever even laced up a glove. And im not talking about this thread, but overall... at esb.

    Why dont we all just chill out on the hateing until aftrer the first 3 rounds at least. Froch could go on to beat Kessler (I dont think he will) and then you will all look like ****s and the Dirrell fight will just be seen as an off-night to the Frochites.

    Its still pretty suprising that Froch was the UKs first ever amateur world medalist.

    He does have boxing ability in there, and he has shown it in numerous fights. All the ESB ******s just prefer to focus on the last 2 fights

    No wonder British posters rarely go on this seriously lame forum :-(

    Froch's not that bad. He sometimes uses his jab to control distance. He sometimes makes his opponents fight at his pace. (Pascal second half, Taylor last few rounds).

    But he's no boxer, no. But so what fellers? This is the hurt game and the feller can fight.
