Pascal wasn't as well known when Froch fought him. Plus it might have something to do with BHop's age..Comment

Just keeping **** real, you do kind of have a point. I wouldn't say it's racism, per se, but I'd say about 65-75% of this board hates hard on white fighters. I've also noticed it is more acceptable to make negative racial remarks about white boxers. It's rare to find fans of white fighters on these boards. I can understand that of course you are going to be more inclined to support fighters who you feel like you can "relate" to more on a personal level, that's part of the game, but it's a little extreme in here.
LOL I just noticed there is even an emoticon for "white trash". HAHAHAHALast edited by UglyPug; 05-24-2011, 03:50 PM.Comment

but Hopkins is 46 and Froch is like 33 so Hopkins deserves every bit of respect and credentials. WHen all is said and done, though, Froch will get more love then he has of late.
The same thing happened to Hopkins until just recently. He didn't get the respect he deserved. The path to justice and redemption can be long and blurry, but in the end, justice is served.Last edited by UglyPug; 05-24-2011, 03:49 PM.Comment

I swear that i had never heard of Pascal when he fought Froch but i wanted Pascal to expose Froch as Froch was baiting JC and i thought Froch hadnt been tested yet.
When Froch beat him, i was thinking Froch still hasnt been tested and hasnt fought anyone good! Who will expose Froch for what he is. I certainly didnt think Pascal was anything to write home about, even though Froch said it was a tough fight. It didnt look that hard, but was only harder cos Froch wanted a war.
But not take anything away from Bh as he is 46. I will be cheering for BH when he is 50Comment

What do you mean "exposed" you gibbering ******? Everyone knows Froch's faults. A blind mongoose could tell what his weaknesses are. Froch is one of the few fighters around whom we should have absolutely no questions about regarding how he got to where he is. He's about as far from being a hype job as you are from winning the Nobel Prize for literature.Comment

If Froch were American and black he'd look fucking weird, man. Have you seen the nose on him?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.Comment
