    - I had him top 15 P4P but not top 10

    - I scored the Kessler fight as a close win for Kessler, 115-113

    - I think he has a lot of good wins/performances on his resume (Taylor, Dirrell, Abraham, Pascal, Johnson), it depends what you call an "A" level win

    - I scored Froch-Dirrell 114-113 for Froch, same score as Dan Rafael had

    You dont win a tittle and become ranked number 2 in the division and be overated. There are loads of fighters that are more overated. You even have some that havent gone after big fights yet that have been around longer than froch. Tim Bradley, Kell Brook just to name a few.. Who have they fought that compares with the talent froch has faced? They make themselves look good with clean records and picking easy oposition.Froch never ducked anyone and fight the best possible. Not the credentials of an overrated fighter atall.

    All of this, except scored froch vs direll 115-114 direll and the second time a draw.
    Fight is a ***** to score.

    His resume is a hell of a lot better than Calzaghe's at SMW, that's for sure.

    Yes, you are right, Bute has balls, or he wouldn't dare keep on using Marlon as ref after the 1st Andrade, he actually got BIG balls, because he isn't afraid people now know Marlon is in his pocket and he keep using him, as late as his last fight actually.

    How can anyone hate on Froch? Sure Froch talks a lot pre-fight and probably believes half the things he says. When he's lost, he's been all class. No wrong socks excuses. No big toe excuses. No man in the hat excuses. He hasn't ducked anyone.

    And unlike Andre Ward, he wasn't afraid to travel to foreign countries to fight during the Super Six.

    He had the toughest schedule, Ward had the softest.
