    Salita for khan.
    Any of Cleverleys.
    Any of Burns
    Any of Wlads.
    Mack for Froch.

    Basically 99% of mandatories are shocking. They should just change the meanin of mandatory to 'bum' or 'joke'

    He didnt deserve the ranking he got, it was a gift from Uncle Don King pulling some strings. Had Tyson taken the long path to the titles, hed have been in better shape and shaken off the ring rust before facing Holyfield and his post prison career would have been slightly better off.

    Doesnt matter if he was in his 20s, he was coming back from a 5 year prison term and he beat a couple of complete nobodies before getting a title shot. Tyson beat Mcneeley and Mathis to get a title shot?

    Carl Froch

    How on Earth can a guy, who just came of a loss to Andre Ward suddenly become a mandatory for Bute?

    That's outrageous!

    I know boxing's been corrupt over he years, and still is, but that's terrible.

    Thanks a lot for the info mate.

    By the way, I'm a Wednesday fan, what do think about Warnock going?

    Froch wasn't mandatory to Bute.
    Bute and his team wanted a name and thought Froch was there for the taking after how bad he was made look by Ward.
