    :good

    Definatley, shame really but he has no one to blame but himself. His red-neck fans still think hes God so he can get some paydays yet but he will never hold a decent strap again. Not with the likes of Froch and Ward holding the fort.

    Kessler RM is the fight Froch needs! Even the score there then Ward with maybe an easy fight/rest inbetween.

    James Degale has been very quiet lately, plus he's left ****** so this might be happening ?

    Stevenson would seem right with him pulling out recently. Hoping its a tough fight but Froch deserves a break. He just wants the best available though which is great :D

    Yeah he has foguht a string of world class operators with no break, saying that 30 years ago this was the norm!!! Everyone wants a big fight but he does deserve a break!

    They'd also convinced themselves that Jermaine Taylor was something special so when Pavlik beat him twice that meant Pavlik was Gods gift.

    He may as well Tweet thats its not Ray Leonard as well for all the likelyhood it had of being DeGale.

    Taylor has to have had one of the worst title reigns I can remember. Especially for all the hype he had. The highlight of his title reign was probably Manny shouting at him to let his hands go almost every fight.

    Yep the pull out of this weeks fight got me thinking it's him, I think he's a nice fight for Froch. Gunslinging battle, a fight that the fans will like etc.


    Yep spot on, HBO and the Yanks are constantly trying to find that superstar who's squeaky clean.

    Yeah, they just wanted a clean cut, articulate guy to build up. Berto was another one in a similar vein (until the loss and PEDS obviously!)

    "The Bute fight night will go down in history as one of the greatest nights in British boxing history," said Froch's promoter Eddie Hearn."

    What? ****ing hell, good fight/win, but up there with Honeyghan murdering Don Curry. All the Hearns and the Rabbitholes are bothered about are shifting ****ing units.

    Froch needs to get out of his comfort zone. He beat an old Glen Johnson, got done by Kessler, schooled by Ward, I just don't see the fascination with him. Pascal fine, Dirrell was a dubious call, JT always gasses heading into the championship rounds. Arthur Abraham I never rated.
