Comments Thread For: Carl Froch Still Super, As Evidenced In Destruction of Bute

[William Blake]

Great fight by Carl Froch!

The fight I want to see most at 168lbs would be a rematch of Froch-Kessler. And the Viking Warrior should travel this time.

Froch has faced the best opposition of any British fighter, he deserves to go down in history as the finest British middleweight of all time (move over Calzaghe)

Lets compare wins

Hopkins Legend at LHW no:1 the best fighter in the LHW division when he fought him - W

Kessler prime SW unification W

Lacy SMW unification W

Eubanks for the SMW W (Eubanks past his best but Joe never done more 8 rounds and only been past 2 rounds in two other fights before facing Eubank. Joe v green

RJJ - Definitely past his best, but if we're crediting Froch's win over Johnson as some sort of great win then this at least equals it.

Reid former SMW Champ

Brewer former SMW Champ

Mitchell former SMW Champ

Woodhall former SMW Champ

Bika - V Tough nights work for anybody

Sheika



Pascal W Not a SMW

Bute W Froch's best performance but like Lacy hugely hyped with no chin.

Taylor MW past his best 5 losses in his last 8 fights when he faced Froch

AA Never been SMW Champ

Dirrell Green when they fought W

Johnson Way past his best coming down to SMW - with losses to guys like Clinton Woods

I've said it before and I'll say it again Froch's resume is hugely overrated. Two of his most respected wins are against career MW's - Taylor as his record showed was well past his best.

Pascal was a LH and Dirrell green as the grass.

Froch record is because these guys came one after the other but when analysed individually its not that great.

The two best guys he fought he lost to - one he got dominated by.

Joe beat Hopkins a legend in Vegas Froch got dominated by Ward. Calzaghe beat a prime fresh Kessler taking his 0 in a unification.

Froch lost his title to a shopworn Kessler.

Joe held every belt in the SMW division - unifying twice and held the ring.

Froch lost his only unification fight and lost fighting for the ring belt

Froch is no:2 in one weight division

Joe was the undisputed man at 2 weights when he retired.

I can go on.....

Froch and Kessler are two warriors but they are both joint second best in SMW division.

Bute - I've said it for ages is pure hype. All the warning signs were there - no chin and his defensive nous - shocking.

Sits on the ropes - doesn't know how to dip or tie an opponent up.

Credit to Froch for doing what he did last night - but lets not get carried away, Bute was proven to be a paper champ - Froch's true level was exposed by Ward in a one-sided domination in the S6 final.

Froch has never been no:1 in his division and never will be.

Cong**** to the Cobra! He schooled Bute like he schooled Abraham

Froch has faced the best opposition of any British fighter, he deserves to go down in history as the finest British middleweight of all time (move over Calzaghe)
