Froch didnt whoop Pascal, it was a close fight but Froch deserved to win imo. Hopkins vs Pascal 1 was very close as well because of the two 10-8 rounds for Pascal, but Hopkins vs Pascal 2 was a clear win for Hopkins, but again not a whooping.
If Froch was American and Black, he'd be in the top 10 p4p.
He beat Pascal by a wider margin than Hopkins, and Abraham by a wider margin than Ward.
Plus he KOed Jermain Taylor, who beat Hopkins twice.
Oh right, there's a close decision loss to Kessler, while Ward has a win over Kessler. But if Ward had fought fairly without his home referee's assistance, allowing him to repeatedly headbutt Kessler, throwing Mikkel off his game, the result may have been different.
But both Hopkins and Ward are in The Ring top 10 this week, and Froch isn't there.
Anybody who says there is no bias on the part of the American media against non-American boxers is a liar.
Its actually quite embarrasing reading your posts these days,atleast you used too keep your agenda sly you cant even manage that anymore
If we're talking about those fake ass Nottingham scorecards, sure Froch whooped Pascal. If we're talking about the actual fight, it was a pretty even toe to toe brawl with no one being way better than the other. LOL @ 118-110, WTF? To the judges, Pascal did nothing at all, dude that was a FOTY candidate in my eyes.
Hopkins won more rounds in each fight with Pascal, than Froch did in his one fight with Pascal. Pascal won at least 5 rounds against Froch imo, Pascal barely won 3 rounds in each of the fights against Hopkins.
Of course if you think in this fight Froch whooped Pascal, then you believe Bradley vs Witter was actually split decision in Nottingham, and that Froch actually beat Dirrell in Nottingham.
Froch vs Pascal is overrated as a "war". Froch won at least 8 rounds to 4 and outboxed Pascal for the 2nd half of the fight.
Hopkins is getting wanked over because hes 46. But hes never been "old" in boxing terms or shot. It works both ways. Erik Morales can be shot even though hes 30 and Hopkins can still be a top fighter at 46. Age is a number.
Doesnt change the fact that Pascal just isnt very good.
hes maybe top 15, but if he beats Ward then yes, he almost has tobe Top 10.
but hes over-rated IMO.
Taylor was winning till he got caught, if Dirrell had balls he could have easily outboxed him. AA is just too short for the elite at 168. Soo.. you could agrue he's been lucky, but wins are wins so won't knock on him for that. Hes actually one of the first british fighters who actually gets off their asses and comes to USA to prove a point so i respect him for that. but in terms of skill and all that, i think Ward will best him..and againest any elite fighter with actual skill hell fall short to.. just imo..
This view that you need to fight in the US to be great irritates me, it's who you fight not where you fight tha proves your quality or lack of. Take Calzaghe for instance, if you think he fought bums, fair enough, all bar Lacy, Kessler, B-Hop and Eubank were pretty average wins, but dissing him for only fighting in Wales is ******, location is irrelevant to the calibre of opposition.
