No way. Sure Froch has taken on tough competition, but he failed against both Ward and Kessler. A prime Kessler was completely picked apart by Joe. You look at Froch's resume, his best win was against Jermaine Taylor IMO and that was a gutsy, but lucky victory.
Don't get me wrong, I like and fully respect Froch and his balls to take on anyone in any town, but bluntly he has come short in his real tests. I have never been a believer in Bute also, I think he was overprotected fighter who fought tailored opponents.
When it comes down to everything, Calzaghe would have put a clinic on Froch ala Andre Ward.
btw I'm most respectful towards rjj, I think he is a legend of the game and deserves utmost respect for his accomplisments in boxing. But if you think that way it is just plain stupid. If anything the referee gave roy more then plenty of time to recover and if it was someone else, the fight would have been stopped 30 seconds earlier. Bring on b-hop vs the legend killer-Danny Green
It didn't help to have a UK referee either..referee jumped in too quick in my opinion...typical UK stoppage
Are you ****ing joking? The referee was nothing but fair to roy. He gave him plenty of time to regain but he wasn't any where near in a condition to fight. My friend and I counted 51 punches without any resistance by roy. That would have to be the most pathetic statement ever. wake up to yourself
