Hatton is far far far far far more graceful in the ring then the Slobra and thats saying something. Hatton had decent head movement for the type of fighter he was, very underrated, he also was quick on his feet and thats a guy who didnt have many physical advantages in his fight. Froch on the other hand is bigger and longer then any fighter in the tournament, yet he's been hurt in his last 3 fights. Most American fans knew who HAtton was and even before he came over he had some popularity among the media and celebrities. Froch would never be on that level, because people know he's a bum who got lucky over a punchy Jermaine Taylor and needed a gift to beat a kid with 17 professional fights. Like I said in America he would have been a mere stepping stone for guys with real talent.
I don't know about all that ..Like I said before I had Dirrell beating Froch but give him his due ! Who doesn't he fight ?And even though he is limited you can't tell me he's not entertaining ??He's far from a bum ..
Froch beat Dirrell. Dirrell is a stepping stone for men with balls, like Froch. No American has faced better opposition in 5 fights than Froch will have, after the Abraham bout. I don't even know of any American who would face that calibre of opposition.
Eventually? I don't know. He showed absolutely no desire to fight Dirrell and Bika is a poor replacement, and one made by choice.
Taylor would fight anyone, you're right. I'm a big fan of his and it's a shame he isn't in the competition any more.
Agreed 100%. Ward - if he dares to come out his hometown - is still one very tough nut to crack. Ward´s my favorite to win this tournament. AA can punch out any of the division if he gets a shot. Froch´s still the MAN in the game - he´ll fight anybody. And for this I wish that Froch clears the table. Dirrell should move to B-class Hollywood movies where he can truly practise his "talents".
His fights arent that entertaining. Especially for the first 5 rounds. Watch all his fights in the first 5 rounds. He tries to box off the back foot. And once he's realizing he's getting his ass whooped because he's slow and lacks skill he then tries to brawl. The Kessler vs Froch fight is the most overrated fight of the year. They were basically slapping eachother between the huge amount of punches both missed. Watch the last 3 rounds and see how many actual clean blows are landed. It certainly wasnt Corrales vs Castillo in terms of technique.
Lucky punch? It was a TKO, an accumulation of punches, a lucky punch is a single punch thrown. Froch wore down Taylor with a torrent of punches. Are you that ******ed? Froch not a top-level fighter? He beat the current light-heavyweight champion of the world, who beat the P4P number 4. He beat Andre Dirrell, who is according to you, the best super middleweight around. He beat Dirrell, that is a fact. If Froch is not a top-level fighter, then neither is Ward, Dirrell, or Arthur Abraham.
He beat Dirrell because he fought in **** town, England. If he fought in a real city he gets disqualifed before the 7th round.

Well I don't know who to blame for the Dirrell fight but he can't be blamed if Dirrell pulled out ..And with Bika well who's fault was that ?But he will have a resume as good as Froch's soon enough ..
Listen his style not easy on the eyes from a technical standpoint but he at least brings it ..He doesn't put punches together like Dirrell or Ward but he's never been a walk in the park and his wil makes up for skill and I can respect that ..
Lucky TKO over a fighter with stamina problems. A former middleweight who struggled to beat Cory Spinks, Winky Wright and had already been KO'd and outboxed by Pavlik. Abraham even finished off Taylor properly. Froch was the bigger man and needed a last second KO to stem what was surely a points loss. Pascal is probably the worst ring champion at light heavyweight in a long time. Dawson let that fight go. And I dont think Froch beat a 100% Pascal. , Gift. Barely landed a clean blow the whole night. Probably going to get brutally KO'd by Abraham. Since he's been hurt in his last 3 fights, I see that as a very likely prospect. Nobody will care about him in a year.
