Jean Pascal: Just heard Froch vs Bute wont happen

[Weebler I]

Froch's KO on Taylor kinda goes in that category too right? Victories come in all forms, and Johnson is a common opponent of Froch and Bute. Froch struggles to a mixed decision, while Bute unanimously outpoints. I think Bute has a better track record, no matter Froch's toughness.

The Japanese judge was way out of sync with the other two. Froch considered launching a complaint even though he won.

Jermain Taylor is a bum? Uhhh ok.

Froch clearly and decisively beat Johnson. Whats a "mixed decision"?

Bute vs Johnson was a glorified sparring session because guess what.....they already sparred 100s of rounds against each other.

Bute has a better track record of beating bums.

Froch was over 3,000 miles from home and he won easily.



No one has beaten Ward since he was 12 years old, and again, Froch was thousands of miles from home in a foreign country.

Bute and Ward hide out in their backyard wherever possible.

hey sorry bud forgot that fight was in AC lol, but you call a mixed decision an easy victory? IMO Froch was hurt half the fight from hooks Johnson had landed, but the scorecards dont lie and that was a close fight.

Whether Ward has lost at any point isnt at question, was Ward the Super Six favorite when it began? Froch being far away from home has nothing to do with his performance, it sounds like this is just your excuse to defend a fighter you are a fan of. He had a horrible fight, most of the fight seemed as if he didn't even want to be in the ring with Ward, who I will say again had a broken hand! There is no excuse for his performance against Andre Ward, which is why he won't get the fight with Bute or any major titleholder for that matter.

the Japanese judge had it scored a draw, but the other judges had Johnson winning multiple rounds, while Bute barely lost a round on any scorecard.

People were picking Lacy to KO Taylor at that point for god's sake. What had Taylor done at 168? He lost to Pavlik AGAIN and was KTFO by him badly just a fight prior to Lacy.

Taylor did absolutely nothing prior to earn a Froch title shot, and didn't do anything after, either, besides get KTFO by Abraham.

So yeah, it's safe to say he was pretty far removed from being 'good'.

He was no Jean Paul Mendy or Jesse Brinkley!

LOL sorry about mixed decision, meant to be majority decision, was just thinking too far ahead and not really paying attention. And no I wouldn't consider Taylor a bum, more past his prime than anything.

Definetly not a top-class KO by any means. Froch clearly beat Johnson, but not with the same amount of comfort that Bute had in his outpointing. So what if they sparred in the past? Wouldn't that make it more difficult for Bute, because Johnson would know how to fight Bute since he had seen him in the ring previously?

Froch has a better track record of getting into title fights, then losing badly. No offense, thats just what I have gotten from him. He didn't even want to fight back against Ward he was hesitant to do anything but run around the ring. How is that a better fighter than the IBF titlist?

Try another sport, son

try putting your support behind a boxer who will actually go somewhere instead of someone who can't fight unless he is safe in his hometown. son.

At least they had some wins at 168
