Froch vs Bute September in Nottingham

[Fox McCloud]

So average that he beat Hopkins, who is obviously - a journeyman.

Anyone want to give me good odds on this fight?

I actually am pretty much of the opinion that Hopkins beat himself by giving away the first 8 rounds in the first fight, and then letting himself get outworked for most of the rounds in the rematch.

A lot of people thought Hopkins won both (I don't), but there are not very many people who will actually try to defend that Taylor is actually a better fighter than Hopkins. Anyone who is of that mind is probably an idiot and prone to embarrassing themselves.

Home advantage should count big for Froch. Froch KO10

I was taking the piss about Hopkins being a journeyman opponent. I've never watched the fight(s) so I don't really have an opinion on them.

They were hyped so big, and they were easily the two most boring fights that meant so much to the sport. They were ****ING TERRIBLE.

Anyway... Taylor did what he needed to... Hopkins didn't. That was the difference.

Hence Taylor being far from an average fighter, limited yes, but certainly not average.

Baldomir did what he needed to against Zab Judah... Judah didn't.

Is Baldomir better than average?

Talent and being a better fighter are two different things.

We shouldn't even know who Antonio Margarito and Carl Froch are.
