What do you make of Froch's run of opponents...

Chisora's run of fights is better. Fury, Helenius, Klitschko, Haye. 4 top 10 fighters with two of those being ATG's.

When Haye KO's Chisora and then fights Vitali his will also be much better. In fact it already is better.
Mormeck. World champ,
Enzo. World champ.
Barrett. Former World title challenger.
Valuev. World champ
Ruiz. Former World champ.
Audley. European champ. Olympic gold medal hero.
Wladimir. World champ.
Chisora. top 10 fighter
Vitali World champ.

 

Are you referring to kessler or froch?

Either way Ward beat both comfortably.

 

no way is kessler a B level fighter!

a no longer prime fighter in the midst of the super 6 tourney but still managed to be enormously competitive.

 

Again depends how you define it, he certainly isnt and never was in the league of calzaghe / ward / hopkins / rjj or the mayweathers / pacmans / marquez / martinez etc who are a class above.

His two fights against elite fighters he has been beaten very comfortably. He isnt at that level and never was.

He's a good world champion..not elite.

 

Pascal, Taylor and bute are all outside the super 6

 

*Clears throat

OWNED :good

 

:blood

 

Pascal was a no brainer. He was offered a WBC title shot. Fair play on the fight itself and the result though.

Taylor was a brave move, props to Froch for that. Fighting in the US wasn't easy, neither was the fight.

Dirrell, Kessler, Abraham, Johnson, Ward all Super Six. I'm not knocking him for that. He deserves props for getting through to the final.

Bute is another no brainer really. Fighting for a title again. It's a brave move too though but he knows he hasn't got too many fights left now so they have to be big fights and meaningful fights.

 

Good work.

 

Kill yourself.

 

Can't agree here mate. 90% of this forum, whilst hoped for a Bute fight, were calling for an 'easy' or maybe B/C level fight at home.

Froch said "**** that" and took on the next best challenge. He could've gone for the WBO, he could've waited a while for Ward and Bute to move up and pick up a vacant strap. Hell he could've taken on Groves, Degale or Clev!

 

How do you know that he could have taken on Stieglitz? When was that fight offered to him?

Also, when were Groves, DeGale or Cleverley fights offered to him?

 

The facts speak for themselves. Not to mention SMW is a woeful division where the only elite level fighters are Bute and Ward and lets not forget Ward destroyed Froch in a one sided beat down.

 

Manfredo is kak, Bika is a solid operator, but has never beat anyone of note.

Kessler and Hopkins were good opponents, but RJJ was completely shot, no chance he was 'slightly' past his best.

Froch's run of opponents are clearly better IMO.

Pascal
Taylor
Dirrell
Kessler
Abraham
Johnson
Ward
Bute

 

"could've gone for" i.e. Eddie could've chased or attempted to negotiate them. I never said he was offered them.

Although come to think of it...
