    froch on kahn!

    "He was knocked out as badly and even faster than when I KO'd Damon Hague in the first round of my British title win in September 2004.
    "In my opinion, the so-called soon to be world champion has from the start of his career been overhyped and very carefully matched in order to create an aura of invincibility and sell an unrealistic product to the non-boxing public.
    "You can fool some people some of the time but you can't fool all the people all of the time.
    "Exposed is a word that springs to mind. There have been question marks on Khan's ability to take a punch and I think we all agree this was answered on Saturday night.
    "I'm just glad he is in good health but the road back looks long and hard."

    Is it just me, or could you say the exact same about Froch?

      Concentrate on your own career lad. Actually it is interesting what other fighters think of Khan. Thanks for your comments Froch. Now is it asking too much to see you fight someday soon?

            I don't think so at all. The non boxing public would've never heard of Froch. Plus I don't really think he's been overhyped, he's a genuine world title contender. Khan is a fraud.

              I'm loving the Bob Marley quote used. By the way Froch, concentrate on your own career, you've got a long way to go to back your own words up.

                Gotta disagree with you there Jambo, Froch is a tough guy with good power. So will give most guys a hard fight, but I don't think he will be a real force in the division. More of a Ruiz type guy, he will be a hard fight for all, and beat some top guys but never be top dog.

                EDIT- Although, I think he is more likely to win a title than Khan.

                  If you look at the competition at SMW, he is a genuine title contender. Khan isn't even in the top 50 in the LW div. IMO.

                    It's actually an Abraham Lincoln quote later used by both Dylan and Marley.
