& never really been on American TV, and had beaten the following fighters in the last 3 years. Glen Johson Jean Paul Mendy Brian Magee (again) Jesse Brikley (who?) Edison Miranda Librado Andrade Fulgenio Zuniga Librardo Andrade (34 count) What would you opinion on Froch be? Would you think that a winner of a tournament with all the big names in at 168 must fight Froch to determine who the real #1 super middle is?:think
I dont think so, but the important thing here is american tv. If he had been there he should get a fight with the tournament winner. Yes american tv. Yeah. That's what matters. That was all.
Depends on how he did against them (not just winning but T/KO's and Clear UD's), and indeed whether or not it was shown on US television. Why are you hating Bute so much? I get it, he's like the David Haye in this equation only with better opponents... Not the real champ, but the outside force who may or may not have a chance against the #1 and #2. He only fights "at home" (either Canada or Romania) like Ward, that's the huge difference with Froch right now. But we all know he's the real deal. I think he doesn't only have a shot, I think he's the best of the 3. But we'll never know until they meet on neutral ground.
Exactly. The masses get deluded by the HBO and Showtime propaganda. If Bute was fighting out of Germany and had fought this list of sub-par opposition, the entire boxing world would call him an irrelevance. That's not hating, that's a fact.:deal
If he was destroying these guys with ease in exciting fashion like Bute? He'd have a bigger fan base pushing for him. Right now he lacks a large British fanbase but if he fought at home more often after becoming champ he could be the most popular fighter in England (he def deserves to be).
As a briton, i admit, we hardly EVER see or hear anything regarding Froch at all. I dont think most people even know he exists.
Well, to close that debate, they should make that fight happen. Whoever wins between Froch and Ward against Bute. I'm sure the winner of that fight, whoever it'll be, will still not get recognition!
