Jean Pascal-Former Light Heavyweight Champion Jermain Taylor-fought Taylor after Taylor lost twice to Pavlik and then beat Lacy Andre Dirrell-beat an undefeated dirrell Mikkel Kessler-lost a close decision to Kessler Arthur Abraham - Dominated Abraham when most thought he would get ko'd Glen Johnson next Don't have to like the man but damn its been a while since I've seen someone fight so many high quality fighters in a row.
this tournament has done some good. Unfortunately, it takes guys who are not fully established to sign up for something like that. Pacman or Floyd would not do it. Pacman would want to but there is too much money for each fight for him to join up. Floyd just wouldn't have the guts to join up.
that's fine and all, only all this talk from him that he wiped the floor with dirrell when he couldn't land a decent punch and was clearly hurt against him makes me hope that old man johnson whoops his ass. anyone with any kind of decent skills whoops both abraham (who is absolute robotic, uncoordinated ****ing garbage with power) and taylor (way past it), and dirrell and kessler both beat him. pascal just got beaten twice by bhop and would get beaten down by any elite fighter (including dawson if they ever fought again) due to his amateur, flailing style and lack of stamina. it's a fine resume, but i need to see a lot more from this guy if i'm going to be able to handle how full of himself he is and how much **** he talks.
Not a fan of Froch at all . the guy always comes to fight , and takes on all challenges . So we have to respect that . I respect his heart .
definitely, but when he got bitchy about fighting abraham in germany and said he would never fight outside england again after kessler loss it was just more proof of his ridiculous ego. he wouldn't have even had a belt for the kessler fight if he hadn't gotten some sweet home cooking against dirrell. respect him, but he's definitely really hard to root for.
I was talking to a friend about this just recently, as he has shown interest in the Super 6, Froch does have a great resume so far and, hypothetically speaking, if Froch does win the Super 6 rematches Kessler and beats Bute. That would be one hell of a resume. Just as a side note, because I'm sure some 12 year old is going to make a post "LOLZ u think Crotch beats JOHNSON WARD KESSLER AND BUTE! LOLZ!", but no I don't think Froch wins the Super 6. I think Ward beats him easily in fact, the above paragraph is hypothetically speaking.
Froch was slightly buzzed toward the end of the dirrell fight, compare that to the stuff he took in the taylor/pascal/kessler fights and it is clear Dirrell really didnt hurt him badly at all. Froch also didnt really hurt Dirrell, either though God that was an awful fight
his resume is very solid. he should beat kessler in a rematch, but i think the other 3 beat him. froch/johnson is a toss up, imo, but i would take ward and bute in a heartbeat. bute's been a complete wrecking machine with that left uppercut. i really want to see how the elites handle that punch. imo, ward and bute are the best in the division with dirrell being right there if he's able to rebound properly.
actually i think most did reckon he'd get splattered, everyone thought he'd come forward and brawl and abraham would simply bomb him out
