When someone is that lucky, then its more than just luck.
Froch is a very limited fighter with a hard punch and decent chin.He's got where he is by total dedication as an athelete and sheer determination. With his skill set he's achieved a great deal and should be respected.
I think this is a good analysis.
Oh my goodness the differences are enormous, and if one is on roids and the other is not THAT IS CHEATING.
Good point but creatin does the samething and its not banned. I take NO Explode and cellmass. NO Explode helps you get that extra pump and rep and more fluint reps. Cellmass heals your muscles quicker and also helps you build faster. Muscle Milk does the samething. Myoplex again the samething. It helps you recover and stay active.
Now all the thing I just named riods do the samething. So if someone takes any of those or just creatine itself is that cheating? Its doing some of the samethings roids do. None of that is gonna work unless you go to the gym and work hard. I took both NO Explode and Cellmass and got very good results. My lifting weight went up within a week and I was maxing out by the end of the first month. Does that mean Im cheating when I step in the ring or in my case get onto the baseball field?
They DO help in performance. They allow you to recover from physical exertion faster (which is a key ingredient in being a good boxer).
As mentioned, they don;t help your performance more so than they help you actually make it to the ring.
It's in that vein that James Toney was able to fight and beat Ruiz when he did. By his own admission, his shoulder would've never healed in time had he not taken a banned substance for no other reason than to speed up rehab in order to secure the Ruiz fight when he did.
The proof is contained in a little thing called "common sense".
There's been a lot of steroid talk as of late (particularly aimed at Shane Mosley) and how fighters should be banned if they used it.
My question to those people, is there any proof that can be provided where a fighter had a edge in a fight by using steroids and was able to hurt the opponent much worse?
Please provide...
Holyfield was so much more impressive against Valuev than Haye. I could see the Haye bout being a draw for sure. But props to Haye for that final round!
I think a prime Chris Byrd would give Vitali all he could handle before stopping him. The old version Wlad stopped is not the same Byrd as the one who beat Tua, Holy, etc.
eh? Wlad beat Byrd in 2000 and 2006
HA HA HA and don't you remember Mayweather just recently saying he wants to go live in the UK
:usa:
when is the last time an american boxer wanted to leave the US because he thought he was racially persecuted?
Froche is not overhyped. If anything he is one of the most "bashed" boxers on the scene.
umm...if you dont think froch as been "hyped" you must not follow boxing very closely...
maybe not in the mainstream american media...but everyone who follows the boxing media has heard more abut froch that he deserved us to hear about him...
dudes simply an ok fighter who is slow as molasses..
Ok so just because Khan says he is racially persecuted you believe him? you think he runs the risk of getting lynched if he stays in the UK? hahaha.
Yeah it's hypocricy. Try going to live in the Arab world and see how tolerant they will be of you if you are a Christian. They F'ing murder Christian children. The west is much more tolerant.
Lol
pac is not lifting weights in that picture he's shadowboxing with 5 pound dumbells.. No way he's bench pressing heavy with his bad shoulder. And his chest is magically much bigger. He's been putting on mass by shadowboxing and hitting the pads and heavybag, and eating. No.
Im a big fan of manny by the way so you guys don't need to be so defensive. Im not linking manny to john cena or bruce lee. They are examples.. And i already mentioned that sodium (salt) and creatine increase water retention. Im the voice of truth, just listen to me and try to figure out what i say because i'm right. I think some of you are unaware of your fear and defensive overreaction. You don't need to be mad at me because you disagree. i have more knowledge on the subject that you. if you don't know anything about steroids you have no right to comment on it, your entitled to say you need proof to believe it, but you absolutely cannot attack me about how it isn't possible that he has used anything. Are you people retarded? listen to me, listen to how smart i am. i could teach you so much if you weren't so ignorant.

Americans are just as bad as Brits. Maybe worse.
im one of the most level-headed boxing fans out there...i live in california, but i couldnt give two shits about any fighters race, nationality, creed, etc...
unfortunately, many boxing fans do...especially the british, IMO...and british fans always seem to have an agenda, IMO...
so, i figured i'd put it to a vote...which british boxers are overhyped, and which are worth talking about on a national stage...
personally, i think khan is least worth discussing...other than that, no british fighter excites me, with the other three i can think of as haye, hatton, and froch...
As I've said before it was a brilliant contract. A rematch is standard. And why not give his brother a guaranteed crack at the titles if he lost them. It makes perfect sense.
Fight Wlad, if you win you have to...
Fight Wlad in rematch, if you win again you have to...
Fight VK.... then if you win, you can do what you want.
what in gods name are you talking about? you know this is a boxing board right?
You're the one who brought up race/religion persecution. Can't keep up with your own BS eh?
You dope, and I responded with my analogy that Muslims in some countries are murdering Christian children. Get it dummy?
And good one to play the racism card on me when you lost the argument. Why am I not surprised...
i brought that up because khan says he plans on leaving england for those very reasons...
how is that BS...your best p4p boxer literally says he hates england because hes racially persecuted as a brit of pakistani origin, and im the bad guy?
shit man...i guess i see where the dude is coming from...
