    I agree with most of the points in this article. I really find it bizzare Froch is so unknown, if he was Irish he'd probably be viewed as one of our best sportsmen ever, but despite being Britain's arguably best fighter, nobody knows who the **** he is.

    Your not allowed to post full BN articles so might wanna delete it.

    The fact he said Mick Hennesey is to blame and only questions why Sky want the fight makes me think its a **** article.

    Somehow the majority of men who should care about boxing have been convinceed only to follow metro sexual millionaires who wages are paid by foregin billionaires. Hey at least your towns name in on the shirt somewhere.

    Well he's got the respect of those who know and understand the sport and in my opinion that far outweighs the backing of idiots(albeit far more of them, meaning more money) which is what Hatton and Haye for example had a lot of.

    Really? Why is that?

    Yeah, but other than saying it aint Hennesey's fault I think it's alright.

    Well actually, you're not supposed to post links either, I'm not lying, there's a chance you could cop a ban for that as well. Crazy? Maybe but that's the way it goes

    I don't think you're supposed to admit life exists outside ESB, pretty sure it's a ban-able offense

    I'm pretty sure ESB don't care either way, they have no brit forum moderator anyway. I'm sure it was Boxing News that complained about the posting of stories and links, there was a sticky about it for quite a while.
