    Past 4 fights:

    Pascal
    Taylor
    Dirrell
    Kessler

    Next:

    Abraham

    If he wins, then either Green/Johnson/Dirrell Replacement or Ward.

    Who else would consecutively fight such level of opposition?

    This is why I like the super 6 despite its obvious flaws.

    Not many. I'd take Dirrell off that list though, ***** he is.

    He's building himself up a great resume, win or lose.

    If he beats Abraham, you have to put him in the top 10 P4P. His resume is looking great right now.

    Can't disagree with that. Strange isn't it, the likes of Haye get backed to the hilt by Sky despite inactivity and cherry picking but Froch, who will fight anyone who stands in his way, only gets televised on obscure channels and is a complete no-name amongst casual fans and the general public in the UK

    I agree, he gets a lot of stick because hes not the most skillful of fighters but the guy never ducks anyone, is normally in exciting matches and is constantly fighting the top ranked boxers around him. Fair enough he deserves grief for the fact that he bitched alot after the Kessler loss.
    Everyone complains about people ducking, being unwilling to fight the best etc but when a boxer is willing to do this he gets loads of stick aswell - point is you cant win no matter what you do

    Why does he get so many haters?

    Slick he ain't, but he's easy the most exciting fighter out there...

    ...this side of SNV

    Froch/Pascal brought back memories of Benn/McClennan

    That was an awesome night, didn't expect it at all. Especially after his last bout, if I remember rightly, wasn't too exciting.

    He isn't top 3 at 168 even if he beats Abraham, which I don't think he'll manage

    Good thread. Yeah boxing for sure needs more guys like this chap; Taylor away for his 1st defence? **** man this guy is crazy!

    In a shitty year of boxing he gives us hope. Imagine what his esume will be like aftr the S6 ends and he fights for another 2/3 years. Sickness.

    BOOM!

    He really should get more exposure in the UK than Haye, who only fights Narcalepsy-ridden fighters.

    I think Inkin maybe ducked him (maybe wrong)

    That dude was a stand-in -- game though, as I recall
