Unsuccessfully as well, it seems as the man from Wales (Calzaghe), would have fighters over price themselves to avoid him fighting them at their home, ie Jones, Hopkins and Taylor, though he got to meet 2 of them in their country in the end. He did also manage to beat the best American SMWs around in Mitchell, Brewer, Sheika and Lacy. Froch - How lucky you are not to have a champion, that fights undefeated Pascal, makes 1st defence away to Taylor (something similar to what the thread is talking about), beats undefeated mandatory in his 2nd defence (again something the thread is talking about again), and is making his 3rd defence away again, this time to Kessler. Good form. Hatton - Not one of my favourite fighters, but for someone your saying your pleased arent one of your fighters, its strange how big his fights were in Vegas when there was only a limited number of tickets being sold to Brits
Correction Dirrell was robbed on foreign soil ,Taylor was Ko'ed in the same manner in the states that demise would of happened no matter where he fought !And your calling Mcclleland a bum??Ha what happened to Kessler when he fought Ward over here ? And the most popular fighter in UK history Ricky Hatton got starched by America's best before Manny got his hands on him ! Funny for every bad American showing there are 20 more bad European ones !!
dirrell came to foreign soil, poo'ed his pants and ran like a ****in ***** look at taylor. he made a career out of fighting american bums like hopkins, wright and pavlik. he then got butt ****ed by froch and then travelled abroad to face like abraham and got smashed to bits . you yanks can't handle fighting on european soil, simple as that, yet you expect our fighters to go and fight in america as if there are no disadvantages involved to it
ok lets go with the heavyweight division and then the super middle and you tell me why you think the american fighters deserve to be ranked above the europeans in each division :rofl i'm pissing myself laughing waiting for your reasoned response
Bad Chad Dawson was willing to do anything to fight Calzaghe. Calzaghe avoided him. I guess he wasnt old or shot enough eh? :rofl Dont worry you can keep Calzaghe. We have champions that people will remember 20 years from now. Pascal gassed and Taylor had already had his weaknesses exposed by Pavlik. Even then he got lucky. Sorry, Dirrell was robbed. Froch was outboxed the majority of the fight. He just reminded everyone what happens to a foreign fighter when he fights in the UK, i.e Kosta Tsyzu. As in its not a boxing match but a street fight. Good form for British. In America nobody would notice this guy. He's had a lucky streak and is a brutal KO waiting to happen. Big his fights were? He was on HBO BAD before Mayweather fought him. Even is fight with Paulie was on HBO. Its not like he was able to carry a PPV card on his own.
Ward schooled the best Euro out there. Who else is there? Carl Froch got exposed by a green Andre Dirrell aswell. If they had a rematch 90% of fight fans not delusional would probably pick Dirrell and most probably by KO the way he had Froch doing the stanky leg. :rofl Lets go over it Middle - Pavlik Supermiddle - Ward Light heavy- Dawson Cruiser - Cunningham Ok you have heavyweight. One weight class out of 20 that you're the best at. :rofl
i'd already mentioned that. big props to hagler for daring to fight in europe, my favourite ever boxer.
Of course. Why wouldnt I? We both know if they fought Ward gives him a shallacking. Ward is the far better fighter. He beat the number at the weight Kessler, thus he is number 1, not hard to understand. Dont really care if Froch got a lucky KO against a middleweight and needed hometown cooking to beat Andre Dirrell. He's fighting on borrowed time.
1 froch 2 abraham 3 bute 4 ward stop listenning to HBO and reading ring magazine you american idiot. you are a prime victim of commercial brainwashing
Hadn't you just admonished the other poster for rating Ward over Froch based on resume? I accordingly ask you the same question: At 168, how do you justify having Abraham above Ward? It would seemingly have to be almost entirely his time at 160, which never included a victory as impressive as Ward's over Kessler.
Ward beats the number 1 fighter and he's number 4. :rofl So Abraham is ahead of Ward for beating a middleweight and Bute is ahead of Ward for needing 2 fights to decisively beat a guy Kessler dominated. Ok Eurotard. Believe what you want. By the end of the tournament and American will be number one, and Froch will be washing dishes somewhere. :yep
