    What if Froch DOES win the tournament? Will all the other fighters suddenly be regarded as bums for losing to him,or will he actually and finally get the respect he deserves?

      100% agreed.
      Oh man im not saying a dirrell victory is guaranteed by any means. No one in this tournament will have an easy fight thats the beauty of it. I just wanted to point out an advantage that he has over Froch which is speed. Something that i believe will be a big factor in the fight. That being said Froch has advantages over dirrell the big one being the quality of competition and i believe he has the superior chin.

        doubt it. Excuses will be, dirrel was to inexperienced, taylor was past it, aa too small, ward a nobody and kessler lost to calzaghe who was also a bum. You can see it now cant you.

                Thats an assumption. Things dont always go the way you think they should. Any one of these fighters is capable of putting a run together in this tourney.

                  I'd be shocked. I respect him as a fighter and as a guy who came up the hard way in British boxing, but I'm not sure he has what it takes to win the whole thing. If he pulls it off, in this field, the Calzaghe-Froch threads would be endless.

                    Agreed.

                    If he wins it he will get world wide recognition.

                    But he just won't win it.
