With Froch i was not a believer....thought he was a Euro level man my self. I think he proven to be a decent world operator though now and i like the way he has gone about wanting to fight the best. This is different to Hatton, Khan and Calzaghe. Froch will lose to Abraham and Kessler unless he shows that his chin, and will to win are out of this world......and you will get people saying he is crap or whatever other nosence they want to carry on with. The two fighters i watched develop and belived would be world champions and All time greats were Miguel Cotto and David Haye. Seen every Haye fight bar the one that dosent have a camera on it which i think was the beverly hills fight and 80 per cent of Cotto fights. Im struggling to look at the lower levels to talent spot.....Boystov, Gamboa but then they are starting to makes waves already. A. Povetkin was/is a man i thought out but the last 18 months have not gone according to plan and i thought he look falt and out of shape against Estrada.
He didn't really deserve to keep his world title after that pitiful performance against Dirrell. I can't see him beating Kessler, but maybe Abraham.
gauging by the way the story was told, nothing special His chin is world class but even so i cant see him staying away from those big shots and he will probably get stopped by AA. Actually think Dirrell has a very good chance to beat Abraham.
I'm really pleased for Haye and Booth, they really pulled a flanker here...£4mill, plus the cut of the purse, nice nights work...plus merchandising, i've already ordered two Hayemaker T-shirts :deal

Seconded. Some people in boxing are like Waldorf and Statler from the muppets, they criticise from above. Take a look at the Saturday boxing pages in the Sun for Franks articles. Haye was the man at Cruiserweight and is now a titleholder at Heavyweight. He is not the divisions number 1. I thought Valuev would have beaten him. However, credit to Haye and Booth. The marketing went great for the fight, they dropped the Klitschko fight, the 100% best thing they could have done. Valuev wasn't for the true world championship but it wasn't for peanuts either. If Frank says Haye is no good, then he only has to look to Khan and his title. The Klitschko's are dangerous, I think Haye would lose to both at the moment. Who needs them though, now Haye has the WBA title and plenty of support he can have fights in America and the UK and ignore the Klitschko's. Or they can fight him on his terms.
That would be me on a panic buy...being the businessmen that they are I am sure that stocks are winging there way to Hayemakers warehouse as we speak :deal
