    Wow looks like some people don't know what the word 'World class' means.

    Froch is a 2 time champion, who has a pretty impressive resume with World level names like Pascal, Taylor, Abraham and Johnson on it.

    He doesn't have the most eye pleasing style from a boxing purist point of view, but he is a crowd pleaser who loves a good scrap and have never ducked a challenge in his life.

    What more do you have to do to be considered World class?

      I hope he brings some interest back to the WW division.

        I know what the thread-starter means. I suppose you have to follow the British media to understand. There is the expectation that they'll win no matter how hard the task is, and when they lose the media bash them unrelentlessly.

        I'm not keen on the British media in general. Especially after the hacking scandal.

          You said:

          "ive never heard a single person say he could challenge Pac and Mayweather. I dont think even Kell Brook has said that ffs"

          And I presented that clip, which shot down your argument.

          Don't be mad bro.
          What else would a boxer say when asked if he could beat another boxer?

          Most of them think they're going to win. They're not all like Tim Bradley

                american football is the most overhyped sport in the entire world. the actual game is actually super ****. take the cheerleaders and fireworks and special guest performances and all that chince away from the NFL and what are you left with???? nothing but an irritating game that has no flow what so ever, 2 seconds of play and 15 minutes of waiting arond and adverts

                  The guy who started this thread- are you on crack? Have you EVER seen a boxing insider genuinely say Kell can challenge FM or MP? Or anyone in the British press for that matter, seriously?

                  Nobody is building Kell up too much too quick...he's took his time to get where he is at, he hasn't even looked close to losing once! Why are you so desperate to shoot the kid down before he's been tested at world level? It's people like you that piss me off along with our press- because you'd rather see our guys fail than succeed. Pathetic

                  Oh and...he will fail did you say in your first post? Have you ever seen the lad fight? He will mix it with ANY welterweight out there bar MP and FM. Just watch

                    Big difference between Sky pundits who are generating hype to increase revenue and legit, non biased pundits who give you their honest opinion.

                    Brook isn't that good anyway.

                      Best bet is Khan. And even he ain't there yet.
                      Is there a point to your ****** remarks?

                      England, and indeed Great Britain, has a wonderfully rich history in Boxing.

                      I wouldnt dream of insulting America for example, because they have no decent HWs - because their history is littered with exceptional HW fighters.

                      Just hush your tones sweetheart, the new best thing will ALWAYS be around the next corner. England is doing just fine, thank you.
