theyd be competitive and get belts but they wouldnt dominate.
I agree i think Vitali would do better because of his great chin and punching power he would win titles. If it was the wlad of 2day he would do well but his chin would be tested by big punchers of that great era.
Enzo looked in PHENOMENAL shape, he looked better than he did at the weigh-in for his fight with Haye.
I agree he looks in the best shape i have ever seen him in. Does any1 know what he did to get in that shape? Wots his workout plan?
I hope Froch can be a force at the world level! I'm just giving my honest opinion on him. Only time will tell. I never said Taylor was on Calzaghe's level because he's not, I'm just saying you make a big deal about Taylor ducking Froch when Froch has called Calzaghe out for ages and Joe won't fight him because he's unproven and thats the reason Taylor hasn't fought him either. I wouldn't cry if Froch won I would be happy because it's good for British boxing!
Taylor cant pick and choose like calzaghe because he needs to win belts and win in style because he hasnt done much since being beaten by pavlik. Even if Froch wins the WBC Belt i dont even think Taylor will fight him even if hes the number 1 contender i dont think the fight will happen. As for Calzaghe he only has big fights left FROCH wouldnt be a big blockbuster fight for him so thats why he hasnt fought froch. Taylor needs titles and isnt in the position of Calzaghe.
Froch will get my respect if he can defeat Taylor or Kessler! I think Taylor didn't want to fight him because Froch was not a big name and there were bigger names he could fight. I think the same about Calzaghe, Froch has been calling Calzaghe out for ages but Calzaghe didn't fight him because there were bigger names out there. If Froch can win the WBC title he'll get the credibility and Taylor will have to fight him! Then if he can beat Taylor he'll get his respect and could draw the big names to fight him!
You said Taylor wants bigger names what like Lacy? A guy who is washed up who can bearly beat manfredo. Nah he was scared to fight froch big time. A fight for the WBC Super Middleweight Title or a fight against a guy who has been finished for sometime. No way i cant wait to see Froch v Taylor if Taylor ever gets some nuts to face a guy who can fight back. Oh yea you will reply now and say he beat hopkins twice who cares if he fought hopkins now he would be schooled mate.
Only time will tell but I don't think he'll be as big a star as Calzaghe, Hatton, Lewis etc... I think Kessler would take him and I think Jermain Taylor would get a UD over him! I could be wrong though and he may emerge as a big star but I can't see it. He is a good fighter though. I think he'll beat Pascal and I'm sure the mandatory for the WBC Super Middleweight title is Jermain Taylor so then we'll see what Froch is made of!
We will see!! I think he could take Kessler but that would be a good fight. But Taylor i think that would be an impressive win for Froch. He's ducked froch before so i think there could be fear in taylors eyes that he cant beat Froch. Would Love to see that fight. As for a great fighter he wont be as great as Calzaghe but he has a shot of being a top guy.
Froch is fighting PASCAL for the WBC title! Taylor fought Lacy to become No. 1 Contender for WBC title! Taylor probably got more money fighting Lacy than he would've fighting an unproven Froch. Froch IS GOOD I've already said it, I'm not hating on him or you but who has he fought. The biggest name YOU said he fought was Robin Reid! Oh yeah didn't that WASHED UP Lacy beat the living hell out of Robin Reid. You talk about Taylor ducking him didn't Calzaghe Duck him aswell? Nobody DUCKED Froch it's just the reward for fighting an unproven fighter wasn't there but it will be if he wins the WBC title!
No in the first place Taylor was meant to fight froch for the wbc title but then choose lacy. If it was the money thats fine but all i am saying is if he fought froch he wud of had a chance at wbc belt which to me means more than money. YES lacy beat reid and YES froch beat reid. But all i can say is froch is willing to fight anyone. TAYLOR is not JOE CALZAGHE calzaghe can take on who ever he wants because he is the BEST! As for Taylor i hope he takes on Froch and we will see who will be CRYING at the end because it wont be me.
The executioner would take him apart! I feel froch was very lucky against taylor. Taylor controlled the whole fight until Froch got him at the end. I give Froch credit for beating Taylor but Bhop's skills are in a legendary catagory where Froch isnt in the guys league!
[yeah toney far too slick and tough for benn toney by UD
benn wouldnt be able to hit him
and even if he did toney has a crazily good chin so he wouldnt be able to KO him
Everybody said that about mcclellan and Benn took him out. Toney got his ass handed to him by roy jones jnr and roy jones jnr rejected fights of benn and collins. So thats saying that benn and collins were dangerous.
I think Eubank would have a better chance becuase he didn't seem phased by Toneys trash talk.Benn really was pissed when Toney started to run his mouth.James would of gotten into his head and played with his emotions.
Your wrong it was the opposite Eubank was really upset on that show that toney was talking about his mother and was the one that was extremly pissed of at toney. Benn was more cooler and even said that he thought toney was a good fighter.
Tyson didnt fight a great fight but douglas was down on the canva for 13 and a half seconds. Tyson won the fight the ref jst wanted to see an upset to shock the world in which it did. If tyson won it would of made a much betta fight between tyson and holyfield. And not the tyson of 96 the tyson of old. Tyson would of won.
Collins wanted a fight with jones since he was born. After his fight with Eubank he had (when he won the WBO Super middleweight title) He called jones out he says he is the best pound for pound in the world ( in 1995) and wanted that fight even in a phone box. Collins was a very underated as a pro boxer he had a close fight with fight in 1990 against the great Mike McCallum for the WBA middleweight title in which he lost. Ive heard through sources that Jones liked to pick more of his opponents. Collins was a good boxer and i believe would of gave jones alot of problem close fight.
Benn v Jones never came about because of money in my opinion. Both parties wanted mega bucks and thats when negotiations ended. Benn said in a interview after one of his fights forget Eubank forget Collins i want Roy Jones Jnr thats the fight that i want and the world want to see. So Benn did want the fight. Jones in the other hand didnt want benn to get the pay day he deserved i think it was afew million he wanted. I do think Jones would of won the fight on a decision but if benn unleashed a big benn bomb he had that punchers chance of beating jones (look at the mcclellan fight benn was a big underdog to get KO'd). Jones had also never faced a fighter with such devasting punching power and would of been taking a chance.
I would like to thank the person who post this thread (pretty boy1) fantastic thread mate keep it up.
I have heard that benn was glad in the end the fight didnt come off. I think Benn would of gave jones a good fight but jones in the 90's would of beat benn on points. The only way benn would of won is if he unleashed one of his bombs. But i do regard benn as a great fighter.
Benn was best when he was in trouble look at the eubank fights, mcclellan fight. He makes mistakes then comes back and bangs away. Benn was best when he was scared i recall a night with johnathan ross benn eubank better enemies when james toney was on the show 93. Benn says he would love to fight toney (this was before jones beat him) because he thrives on fear. He is sayin toney was a good fighter but the fear gets the best out of benn.
Calzaghe is the best ever super middleweight and the best ever light heavyweight champion of the world! He has took on everybody and anybody there was to beat. He is a true champion. Jones just wasnt in his league alot of ppl thought jones would beat calzaghe no way even back in the day of the jones era Calzaghe would of been to much for jones. Joe has done it all now proved everyone wrong. I always believed in joe and have always thought he was the pound for pound best in the world. Even when mayweather was around calzaghe was the better man. I really like Calzaghe i respect him because he has had to come up the hard way no one really given him the credit he deserves but now everybody should respect joe as the best ever british fighter and one of the all time greats. Thanks joe your the man and you dont need to prove anything!
It just shows you can get in good shape without weight training. Calzaghe was ripped in the hopkins weighin. Does anyone kno if nigel benn did weight training and if anyones knos his workout.
Benn and Eubank would of fought Toney. Toney is overrated. He shud of stayed at super middleweight or light heavy and faced the best instead of eating burger kings and keeping them in business all these years.
What a great post pretty boy1 class. For me every1 is against groves coz the ko. This guy is not chinny he's has a great ko ratio speed can box. Tough fight but groves by decision and gud decision. Bika is tough but gets beat of the best ward calzaghe. He never won the belt of ward. Beat periban who I don't rate in a close fight which cud of went either way. Hands down groves is world class he will show all u doubters and b a world champion the uk will b talking about for years.
Calzaghe will never fight froch if he came out of retirement. Calzaghe beat Kessler and Kessler beat Froch. So that tells you that Froch isnt in Calzaghes league. Calzaghe is Priemership and Froch is League one. Calzaghe a legend so froch has to shut his mouth now.
