after he man handle bute i became a believer. 2nd was grovs vs froch 1 i just admired how he get up from that shot he toom.
Groves in the second, the rest were no contest in my opinion. Froch was literally all over the place against Groves and sustained a heavy beating in the first. He needed every once of mental strength to overcome Groves, and he did it in sensational manner.
ending the Bute hype train and erasing the stain from the first Groves fight, the Pascal war was great as well
As a big froch fan it is difficult to pick, being there at Wembley was something very special and I loved it but the Bute fight was very special also, the underdog destroying the champion always sits well with me. Would have to just edge for the Bute fight but not by much
bute, desotrying a long term champion easily inside half the distance, an absolute obliteration. calzaghe would have been frochs favourite one.
the Wembley fight was pretty emphatic, I was actually outside wembley before the fight, though I never attended the event.... but ....watching all the cheeky cocneys in their thousands streaming into Wembley, thinking theyre local bigmouth was going to win. and then watching them all mope out silent afterwards. Froch shut up thousands of cheeky cocney loudmouths with one punch that night. awesome, that's doesn't happen often.
A thread that has nothing to do with Calzaghe and look who brings him up. :rofl:rofl SORT OUT YOUR SORE BUM ABOUT 'ZAGGERS BEROL
its a fact that koing calzaghe would have been frochs most satisfying win. do you disagree, if so state your case.
Pascal was the best win of his career. Though in theory, the Bute demolition did more fur his legacy.
Maybe going up to Heavyweight and KOing Wladimir Klitschko and becoming Heavyweight champion would've been a more satisfying win. DO you disagree, if so state your case.
Froch vs. Pascal is an underrated modern classic. It ought to have more votes. Taylor had the more dramatic ending; Bute was more satisfying and higher profile (though it shouldn't have been really; on the surface nothing made it any more special. In both Froch vs. Pascal and Froch vs. Bute, you had an unbeaten opponent and Froch scooping up a world title...with the main difference being that Bute was always more hyped both at home in Montreal and in general abroad than Pascal, but in reality was probably never as good and would've lost to him in a h2h match even had they met earlier, in their primes), Kessler II was his greatest victory, and the Groves pair stand out as the freshest lasting impression - but in terms of gutting it out in a tremendous battle with a primed out marvel of a complete athletic specimen and clearly winning, it doesn't get much better than Froch UD12 Pascal. :bart
It was a great one, but Froch dismantling Bute shut up a slew of know-nothing fans. And he did it spectacularly. :smoke
True, but as someone who tends generally to derisively ignore the hype machine in my little hermit bubble, the exposure of Bute didn't resonate as much. Froch vs. Pascal is the kind of fight where for about three weeks after it happened every boxing fan threw around phrases like "I AM NEVER FORGETTING THAT" - and within a month, had completely forgotten about it. :!:
