    Is this why Mick didn't feel the need to bother selling Froch-Taylor to ITV?

    Delusional.

    Let's get this straight, Froch was brilliant in the last few against Taylor but was also very close to losing that fight on points (although one judge had him up!). IF Froch wins this tourney then kudos to him but, personally, I think he might be found against the type of opposition that he's gonna be facing regularly now. We shall see. Also, how do you get 'above world title level' is there a 'WBA galaxy' belt I'm not aware of?

    "A fighter like him only comes along every 20 years" :rofl

    I thought he said the same thing for Tyson Fury :huh.

    Remember when Mick was asked to talk about Fury on one of his ITV shows and he was practically creaming his pants going on about Tyson having a Holmes like jab and how he's the best prospect in the world and so on :rofl.

    :rofl this is funny stuff. Fair play to Froch though, up and till now he has delivered the goods. Wish him all the best as I like his attitude.

    :goodThat's one thing that cannot be questioned. Froch has a heart fit enough to keep a herd of elephants on the go. Talks a good game and always wants to back it up.

    That is in no doubt but I cringe every time Hennessy opens his mouth, some of the **** he comes out with is unbelievable.

    Possibly, but is this because Froch is a more vulnerable fighter than those two were at their peaks? Pacal and (if he is next) Dirrell could be said to have been unproven prospects at best.
