Froch wanted time out as he had two major battles at world level and dont you think all the boxers knew about this tmt in advance of it being announced so whats the point in him taking that fight ! ... Froch doesnt duck any fighter at all .....
Not long till this baby starts. It'll be like boxing christmas when this thing kicks off. C'mon the Cobra! Direll is gonna get stopped in the snakepit.
If I was a betting man: (1) Kessler (Head) (2) Froch (Heart) (3) Taylor - assuming Pavlik + Froch fights did not finish him off (4) Ward - unproven other than Miranda (5) Abraham - Was nearly 4 for me but is somewhat of an unknown at 168 pounds (6) Dirrell - Unproven and as B-Hop would say - What is his resume? I agree with the person who started this post and think it is great for boxing. I do think that Bute or Bika should have been in here as opposed to Dirrell. As for a Welterweight tourney: (1) Pacquiao (2) Mosley (3) Floyd (4) Berto (5) Cotto (6) Margarito
Nice Bump,and credit to those who picked Froch or Ward at the beginning (although some will have picked purely because of Nationality) I had Kessler as favourite,with Froch 2nd,and Taylor 3rd,Dirrell and Ward i overlooked as they were unproven,and i predicted Abraham to be exposed as a blown up MW,so gave him the wooden spoon.
