    ward is on another leevl to bute and would never get caught with the shots bute did. froch was almost punch perfect but he aint knocking out ward :patsch

    would say hattons win over tyszu is a better win as to compare tyszu and bute would end any argument

    No I disagree Froch was a bit lifeless vs Ward and tried to counter Ward which did not work.

    I think Froch is stronger than Ward, and if Froch could of rocked Ward early he would go on back foot just like Bute.

    When his back was against the wall Froch showed he has the drive, desire, and fire in his locker.

    You obviously stopped watching the fight after the tenth round

    :lol:

    Budd Schulberg said in his book that the manner in which Hatton (a big underdog) made a tough warrior like Tyszu quit on his stool convinced him that it was "the most noteable British victory since Randy Turpin upset the first (and best) Sugar Ray more than 50 years ago".

    *Someone does something good*

    "Thats not that good"

    How can we ever produce classics anymore if all people want to do is complain?

    We're a cynical country.

    We enjoy failure more than success.

    Also, Froch was brilliant and deserves his praise.

    It wasn't always like that. Nostalgia plays into everything.

    Who's the best boxer? Muhammad Ali, Sugar Ray Leonard...
    What's the best music? Tupac, Elvis, Michael Jackson...
    Who's the best pro wrestler? The Rock, Stone Cold...

    Infact, the cynical nature plagues everything except two sports. Football and MMA, and even still some people will tell you that George Best of Randy Couture are the GOATs.

    I don't believe it, you lot are a hard sell. Bute might not have been tested on Frochs level but he was hugely rated by all the experts and Froch destroyed him in 5 rounds. Bute wasn't a hype job, Froch destroyed a good champion. I think Bute can continue but he shouldn't rematch Froch. I'd be interested to know what odds I can get on Froch not losing another fight until retirement, I honestly don't care who he fights.

    This is more people being pissed off for getting it so wrong.

    I thought Bute was gonna jab his head off.

    Froch did what he said he was gonna do.

    He does what 99.9% of boxers claim to do.

    I couldn't be unhappy with picking wrong - Carl's fantastic and what every fighter should be. But no revisionism from me.
