    your desperation to denigrate froch's achievements is coming across as somewhat obsessive, our sol.

    His style doesn't translate to higher weight categories, too much defending with his face and his power will be diminished.

    The guy has had a great career at SMW and has given the fans more fights against top 5 opposition than just about any other British fighter since Lennox.

    He has a great advantage of fighting close to a very natural fight weight giving him great stregnth and an unreal chin , why would he give away advantage to someone who could be at near on 190lb come fight night when he would be walking in 170s

    No idea what I got banned for as no reason specified.

    Sad days when one cannot express an opinion or have some banter on a forum.

    mods are pretty unforgiving of anything they construe, rightly or otherwise, as promoting signal theft. that's my guess.

    The same MODs also promote legal streams on the Boxing Forum.

    As UK case law stands there is nothing illegal about using Sky and non Sky satellite systems or watching legal streams on the internet.

    I have never provided a stream or asked for one.

    I can't stand Froch but I don't think he is a bottle job by any stretch of the imagination. He is a career SM who seems to make weight no problem so there would need to be a reason to move up - a winnable fight with big money. Hopkins pre Kovalev might have got him.

    Maybe the denigration of Boxnation/Warden?

    Not saying that you're in the wrong to talk them down, but as the word is starred out I assume they are pretty sensitive about that

    I think people were more annoyed by the continued rhetoric more than anything

    Agree, but is that a ban offence?

    Wouldn't personally say so considering he commented on other stuff as well. But it's ultimately down to how the mods interpret their rules I guess
