    155 isn't middle weight. If you restrict your opponent from making the MW limit , then it is not a middle weight fight.

    He won the WBO 154 strap at 154 , therefore he is a junior middle weight.

    What are you on about? This is just noise. If you go around talking big then you should be willing to back it up.

    It wasn't right for Calzaghe to say he'd still beat Ward and Froch right then - if he said that - if he weren't willing to prove it. That's my opinion and if you want to disagree and say retired fighters are fine to declare that they'd still beat everyone whilst not fighting that's yours.

    No fighter is ever going to admit they would lose to a guy - in retirement or not. Its not in their make-up to say such things.
    Thats the general opinion. Not just mine. They can say what they want.

    Not if the CT is imposed by one side and the other side cannot do anything about it. Its exactly what you said it is - a catch weight fight of 155 pound.

    Nobody believed Manny was ever a JMW champ or Leonard being a LHW champ despite them winning titles in those divisions at a CT.
    Its pointless arguing with Casuals.

    Who is asking him to say he'd lose?

    He's the one continually running his mouth about being too big and too strong so he can get a bit of media attention. It's not like he's saying 'prime for prime I think I would have too much for him.'

    He's being very clear in his suggestion that he'd beat him NOW if he wanted to. Well go on then. Treat the fans to massive fight, earn loads of money and enhance your legacy by beating up the supposed boogeyman of boxing. No? Be quiet then.

    He really can't grasp that anyone who weighs anything above 154 and below 160 is a middleweight. Catchweight or not that's a fact.

    Dino a guy who weighs 155 lbs is a middleweight.

    A guy who weighs 156 lbs is a middleweight.

    A guy who weighs 157.2 lbs is a middleweight

    Can you see why?

    Froch don't need any media attention. He has a high profile job on Sky Sports. GGG keeps haranguing him , not the other way around.
    He has done what everyone before him has done and said he'd bust his chops no problem. This is a mans pride we're talking about here. What would you understand about that?:meparto::icon_domokun::icon_domokun::icon_domokun:

    Froch don't need any media attention? Are you insane? He did pretty much every naff reality/celeb show they were willing to have him on. He ****ing loves the limelight. It's who he is and his business. I don't give it a **** about that.

    Golovkin keeps 'haranguing' him? By this you mean his promoter offering a fight Carl says he'd easily win to Carl's promoter? They talk about Froch because Froch keeps talking about how big and strong he is and how he'd beat their guy.

    And the fact you think there is 'pride' to be taken in talking a big game that you're not willing to back up says a lot about you as a man. I bet you're full of excuses as to why you didn't do this or that this time but easily could of.

    You don't get it hombre. A fight between two guys weighing over 154 but less than 160 is between two middleweight regardless of whether or not it's at catchweight of 155, 156 or any other weight. If it's within those limits it's a middleweight fight.

    You're actually the only person on these boards dumb enough not to understand that.

    Dino is a casual boxing fan, ignore him.
    He doesn't even know the difference between a fighter and an organisation.
     
    Mr Traumatik and Mekar like this.

    No , this viewpoint says more about the contempt you have for legends such as Ali , Marciano , Holmes , Lewis , Calzaghe etc... You're a disgrace . Cease talking to me.
