    Pretty sure Froch wasn't hurt in the 10th where the "dizzy backpedaling" occurred, fighters move backwards people get over it.

    Ward is considered one of the best P4P fighters on the planet.

    Now since you considered arguably his best opponent as simply a B level fighter are you calling Wards CV padded ?

    I mean if his CV is full of B level guys at best according to you.

    The whole forum was shocked when the brittards came scurrying from their holes to defend a disgraceful robbery.

    Twist: no one was actuall shocked.

    Looks like Froch was floored a few times in your animated gif that you made with software designed in 1994.

    I think Dirrell gets a bum wrap around here, i think he clearly beat Froch (Froch is more lucky than good) . . . Kessler will school him in a rematch

    MW just let it go, the fight is remembered more for Dirrell's pathetic spoiling than any robbery occuring.

    Ward is the only A level guy around his weight. Beating B level guys like Froch and Kessler so easily shows how great he is.

    Ward is a level above Froch and Kessler no doubt but those 2 are still better than B level.

    Bute is more around B level and he had been beating the rest of that level mostly fairly easily and Froch obliterated him.

    Ward is elite level then you have Froch and Kessler then the rest.

    Froch was badly outboxed by Taylor, Dirrell, and Ward. He's crude and slow. He's a 2 levels at least below Ward.

    Your basing on how to rate a fighter based on pure boxing ability.

    That obviously plays a large part but not the whole picture.

    Dirrell huge amounts of talent but lacks heart in abundance.

    Taylor also talented gases fairly easily.

    Froch limited as he is has heart in bucket loads terrific conditioning great will to win etc.

    Since his step up to world level against Pascal he has arguably been at a natural talent disadvantage on most occasions with many picking him to lose on these occasions.

    No he wasn't.
    There are numerous video's of the fight on Youtube,go find it,watch it,then come back with your scorecard and explain how you scored each round.
    Froch was clearly suffering from stage fright during the early rounds,he was being outboxed,and walked into several big shot's,one of which caused the flash knockdown.
    By the middle rounds Froch was stalking Taylor,was beating him to the jab,and landing numerous big straight rights.Frochs pressure had as much to do with Taylor gassing as his suspect stamina did.Had Taylor not set a high pace from the get go,he'd have been eating big shots long before the second half of the fight.


    Froch KO 12 Taylor :hi:
