    That is so correct

    I dont think people understand the concept of resume

    Who has the best resume between the Tyson who fought Berbeck and the Tyson who fought McBride???

    Clearly the Tyson who fought McBride has the better resume, but head to head it is the Berbeck Tyson who would win a fight

    Froch has done more. He should be ranked ahead of Bute.

    But for the record. I believe Bute would beat Froch.

    right now froch should be ranked ahead of bute. h2h i'd pick bute, but until he fights genuine top SMW opposition but can't be ranked higher.

    hopefully now bute is signed to showtime we'll see him in with better fighters and the super six winner by the end of 2011 so all arguments could be cleared up by then

    Hi GM nice to see you! Told ya that Froch would win on points didn't I. Froch fought with way more discipline and way more intelligence than I anticipated. Made me feel sorry for Abraham :D

    If the fight would be in Europe i will attend it, would be great to take place in England, never seen it. If it's in Romanis I'll give you a bottle of "palinca" :D

    Without a doubt Froch should be ahead of Bute in ranking, but if they ever met in the ring, Bute should be able to win on pts, but you never know.

    Based on resume Froch is the no1 smw period.

    The Jepster , been a while brotherman, I hope you're well !!

    Was pretty shocked myself I thought Carl would pull it out in the end but I couldn't forsee how much trouble that long jab would give AA , he seemed clueless and even I was starting to feel bad for him by the end.

    Speed still beats Froch I fear as its clear he's never gonna lift that left hand .

    One thing I would have liked to see was more body work from Froch.


    My wife watched the fight with me and it was the first time she had seen froch since he used to fight on the bbc way back when , the first thing she commented on :

    " who the hell is that harpie doing all the shouting ??" :lol:
