    Froch was a tough fighter but I would not say that special TBH.
    I liked watching Froch fight, but after the Ward fight I said no matter how many times he fights Ward he would be emphatically beaten...different class altogether.
    Froch was the same towards Calzaghe , saying Calzaghe retired to avoid him, again makes him look bitter , Calzaghe would out class him even more than Ward.

    If the ref was Weekes he'd deduct a point from the opponent for moving while Ward swung...Lol

    No I'm not knocking him, he was in good fights , Kessler & Ward, but a lot of the times it was by the skin of his teeth...lucky punch springs to mind ,you know the one, he is Gritty no doubt!
    But he could be a little more , lets say humble with his opinions on other guys now he is retired , I guess a little deference to Ward & Calzaghe would help him be seen as less bitter?
    I think he is a funny guy ,with a querky sense of humour that maybe some miss?

    i mean, he ought to pay homaghe to ward for getting whupped by him, but i dunno pay homaghe to calzaghe who robbed him of a good fight by running to LHW when froch became his mando? I 'd not respect someone who did a runner on me -they'd be the laughing stock not to mention rather irritating for flaking when a serious challenge came up.

    and when elites fight elites in their prime, uninjured, you ought to be winning by skin of your teeth, think Canelo GGG and KOvalev Ward. At the top level it ought to be very narrow.

    I think the premise is false because Ward had destroyed the. Best Light Heavyweight in the world the dangerous and world class Kovalev a great fighter. Ward in my opinion won both fights. I know some don’t like this opinion but tough as Ward is and was a winner throughout. Ward beat the best Russian and most proven and made him quit. If Ward had carried on then he would have gone to heavyweight to take out Bellew then had a go at AJ.

    If that's true why was he looking to make a fight with Buglioni or Johnson?

    Depends I would pick Ward against Bellew at HW, but the moment he fights AJ or a Wilder they would stop him.

    You see once again it is you who wants to alter things.
    I noted Kessler had vision problems before the Super 6 which was confirmed with a link.

    Heres some more links.

    I didnt say one eye, I said eye trouble.
    Why you act like there is something wrong with me saying that when I can supply links is anyones guess.
    I can only think getting schooled by facts when trying to view things as you want to see them may have taken a toll on you?

    I think what you are really trying to say is that posters dont think highly of you.
    Probably why you try and draw attention to yourself with ridiculous posts, as if to make up for something you are missing out on in life?
    Why dont you satisfy yourself with making another ridiculous thread. It might get you some of the attention you are craving.
    You can even write lmao and lol at the end of every post :clap:
    Run along now :eaea:

    He's been getting a bit upset with me lately. I have been toying with him though and it seems to have gotten to him. Still he can say something pathetic and write lmao and lol at the end. Not that anyone would expect that!
