taylor beat the man so trying to cheapen him isn't going to work. i'll agree with green. EDIT : andrade
:huh when did Taylor beat Andrade ? Taylor did nothing that will make us think he was an elite Super-Middleweight.
you know exactly who i'm talking about so don't insult my intelligence. you beat a somebody then you are a somebody, if you don't..then you aren't. you're reaching, so give me something solid if you want to continue this. makes me laugh when people start hiring the emotes when things start going pear-shaped.
Because they wanted 3 Americans to capture the attention of the target public-USA. No American fighter was holding a belt so for the credibility of the tournament they wanted what was then rated #1 SMW - Mikkel Kessler who by having the same promoter as Abraham, he was invited as a condition and being the former IBF Middleweight champ helped to the credibility. Now 5 places out of 6 were occupied. So it was Froch(WBC) or Bute(IBF). Froch was coming after a Ko win over Taylor and Bute was coming after a UD against Andrade having problems in the last round of the fight.
wow......ESB has some of the mentally weakest posters I have ever met. These are the same guys who said Abe would KO Froch. These are the same guys who think Froch isn't half the man Andrade is. If the fight ever came off it would be close but to bluntly write Froch off proves half of you are morons. Froch has never been Ko'd or even come close to being so while conversely Bute has and was saved by the referee so why not start using that brain of yours and analysing rather than nuthugging.
do you know what gives posters credibility? i'll give you a clue... it works exactly the same as in real life but you stand out more online. if you disagree with someone say why, save the baby**** for face to face :good
How many elite fighters did Froch ko'ed ? Do you remember that Taylor was outboxing Froch before the ko? Froch lost at points against Kessler He would've lost at points against Dirrell to if the coward had half a heart. Froch doesn't have that many chances as you like to think he is on ko-ing Bute and has lesser chances close to none of winning a UD against Bute.
whats your hangup with this? getting emotional over fighters who have never met you and dont want to is never a good thing.
