It has nothing to do with race. Hopkins made history by being the oldest fighter to ever win a belt, and it was the Ring belt as well not just an alphabet belt. Even if Pascal isn't a great fighter he was still the champion of LH, so why would anyone go after the champion?
If Froch were American and black he'd look fucking weird, man. Have you seen the nose on him?
hahaha
I think it is funny how people honestly think that White Fighters Are Being Held Down...uh...it is only TWO MAJOR DRAWS in boxing OVERALL and that is Of course Pacquiao and Mayweather (when he is not on vacation lol)
other then that it is really NO MAJOR DRAWS in boxing REGARDLESS OF RACE!
America don't hate the Klitschko's because they are "WHITE", because even White Americans really don't support the Klitschko's, the problem they have is that they get treated like the "EVIL RUSSIAN FROM ROCKY 4" by Americans
Also lets not forget...Lennox Lewis wasn't liked by Americans either and he was "BLACK", people use to always talk about his "WEAK CHIN" and how "TYSON IN HIS PRIME WOULD DESTROY HIM" blah blah blah
So to say "White Guys Are Being Held Down" or to suggest that is LAUGHABLE! Anytime it is a Athlete doing well in America....it is NO Athlete that gets more HYPE then that athlete...America is always looking for that "GREAT WHITE HYPE" so to say that now all of a Sudden they don't want White Athletes to Succed that is actually Laughable and it is problem coming from people WHO DON'T LIVE IN AMERICA so they are on the outside looking in and is just ASSUMING HOW THINGS ARE IN AMERICA :no:
Manny is accepted in America and has become a STAR in America because of not only his success in the ring but also for him being a very humble and nice guy, THAT WORKS FOR HIM! And by the way it is also a lot of Filipinos in America especially on the West Coast (California), also what about Adamek, he has build up a nice following in America, very popular and draws very well in New Jersey, also Arthur Abraham had strong support at the Ward fight
the problem is that a lot of you guys want the American Media to PRAISE YOUR FAVORITE FIGHTER LIKE THEY DO AMERICAN FIGHTERS...that unfortunately THAT IS JUST NOT GOING TO HAPPEN! EVERY COUNTRY IS BIASED TO THEIR OWN...EVERY BROADCAST is Bias To Their Own!
AND OF COURSE the America Media is not going to give a damn about Pascal vs Froch...because neither are Americans...WHY SHOULD THEY? As a Boxing fan I do...but if neither fighters was a HBO or Showtime fighters at the time so naturally the coverage and the credit for that fight will not be the same
Both Froch AND Pascal were looked at more like untested prospects on the verge of becoming contenders at the time, so there wasn't as much context or hooplah about it.
Both fighters have proved that they are legit at this point, and that win looks better and better for Froch every day as far as I'm concerned.
If Froch was American and Black, he'd be in the top 10 p4p.
He beat Pascal by a wider margin than Hopkins, and Abraham by a wider margin than Ward.
Plus he KOed Jermain Taylor, who beat Hopkins twice.
Oh right, there's a close decision loss to Kessler, while Ward has a win over Kessler. But if Ward had fought fairly without his home referee's assistance, allowing him to repeatedly headbutt Kessler, throwing Mikkel off his game, the result may have been different.
But both Hopkins and Ward are in The Ring top 10 this week, and Froch isn't there.
Anybody who says there is no bias on the part of the American media against non-American boxers is a liar.
If Froch were American and black he'd look fucking weird, man. Have you seen the nose on him?
Andre Ward is going to beat the living sh*t outta Froch!
Wait for it…
Another so called british P4P will get exposed! A lot like Hatton got exposed by Money May’ and retired by Pacman.
What do you mean "exposed" you gibbering retard? Everyone knows Froch's faults. A blind mongoose could tell what his weaknesses are. Froch is one of the few fighters around whom we should have absolutely no questions about regarding how he got to where he is. He's about as far from being a hype job as you are from winning the Nobel Prize for literature.
I swear that i had never heard of Pascal when he fought Froch but i wanted Pascal to expose Froch as Froch was baiting JC and i thought Froch hadnt been tested yet.
When Froch beat him, i was thinking Froch still hasnt been tested and hasnt fought anyone good! Who will expose Froch for what he is. I certainly didnt think Pascal was anything to write home about, even though Froch said it was a tough fight. It didnt look that hard, but was only harder cos Froch wanted a war.
But not take anything away from Bh as he is 46. I will be cheering for BH when he is 50
Pascal recent hype is due to the fact that he beat Dawson who was I think #4 P4P at the time
^^^This, even though his previous four fights had been against old guys the boxing world was high on Dawson, he looked good against the old guys but it was the Adamek win that was most impressive.
why?
hes maybe top 15, but if he beats Ward then yes, he almost has tobe Top 10.
but hes over-rated IMO.
Taylor was winning till he got caught, if Dirrell had balls he could have easily outboxed him. AA is just too short for the elite at 168. Soo.. you could agrue he's been lucky, but wins are wins so won't knock on him for that. Hes actually one of the first british fighters who actually gets off their asses and comes to USA to prove a point so i respect him for that. but in terms of skill and all that, i think Ward will best him..and againest any elite fighter with actual skill hell fall short to.. just imo..
This view that you need to fight in the US to be great irritates me, it's who you fight not where you fight tha proves your quality or lack of. Take Calzaghe for instance, if you think he fought bums, fair enough, all bar Lacy, Kessler, B-Hop and Eubank were pretty average wins, but dissing him for only fighting in Wales is stupid, location is irrelevant to the calibre of opposition.
Froch vs Pascal is overrated as a "war". Froch won at least 8 rounds to 4 and outboxed Pascal for the 2nd half of the fight.
Hopkins is getting wanked over because hes 46. But hes never been "old" in boxing terms or shot. It works both ways. Erik Morales can be shot even though hes 30 and Hopkins can still be a top fighter at 46. Age is a number.
Doesnt change the fact that Pascal just isnt very good.
If we're talking about those fake ass Nottingham scorecards, sure Froch whooped Pascal. If we're talking about the actual fight, it was a pretty even toe to toe brawl with no one being way better than the other. LOL @ 118-110, WTF? To the judges, Pascal did nothing at all, dude that was a FOTY candidate in my eyes.
Hopkins won more rounds in each fight with Pascal, than Froch did in his one fight with Pascal. Pascal won at least 5 rounds against Froch imo, Pascal barely won 3 rounds in each of the fights against Hopkins.
Of course if you think in this fight Froch whooped Pascal, then you believe Bradley vs Witter was actually split decision in Nottingham, and that Froch actually beat Dirrell in Nottingham.
Fuck boxing in Nottingham.
Green K for telling it how it is
If Froch was American and Black, he'd be in the top 10 p4p.
He beat Pascal by a wider margin than Hopkins, and Abraham by a wider margin than Ward.
Plus he KOed Jermain Taylor, who beat Hopkins twice.
Oh right, there's a close decision loss to Kessler, while Ward has a win over Kessler. But if Ward had fought fairly without his home referee's assistance, allowing him to repeatedly headbutt Kessler, throwing Mikkel off his game, the result may have been different.

Its actually quite embarrasing reading your posts these days,atleast you used too keep your agenda sly you cant even manage that anymore :pat:
Froch didnt whoop Pascal, it was a close fight but Froch deserved to win imo. Hopkins vs Pascal 1 was very close as well because of the two 10-8 rounds for Pascal, but Hopkins vs Pascal 2 was a clear win for Hopkins, but again not a whooping.

You sound like one of those white Hatton thug fans after the PBF fight: It was Cortez that won it for Mayweather since he THREW Hatton into the ring post. KTFO with your prejudicial bull****

No he did not.
Let me see your scorecards.
That's unbelievable, you have to at least give Pascal 5 rounds in that Froch fight. You can fight 2 rounds he won in each of the Hopkins fights, 3 if you're being really nice to him.
andre ward is going to beat the living sh*t outta froch!
Wait for it…
another so called british p4p will get exposed! A lot like hatton got exposed by money may’ and retired by pacman.
if we're talking about those fake ass nottingham scorecards, sure froch whooped pascal.

Hopkins won more rounds in each fight with pascal, than froch did in his one fight with pascal. Pascal won at least 5 rounds against froch imo, pascal barely won 3 rounds in each of the fights against hopkins.
Of course if you think in this fight froch whooped pascal, then you believe bradley vs witter was actually split decision in nottingham, and that froch actually beat dirrell in nottingham.
Fuck boxing in nottingham.
