Indeed. And you don't give him credit. That's mindboggling since most would have milked their newly won belt with an easy defense at home. Why can't you understand that?
A lot of people would have taken an easier fight after the asswhooping Froch received from Ward. Not Froch though. He takes on the most dangerous opponent possible and yet you again fail to give Froch credit.
The Bute fight was the kind of opportunity that fighters don't get when they're coming off a loss. When you get dominated, lose your belt, and then a big payday falls on your lap, what do you do? Especially if you're in your mid 30s and you don't have much time left in the sport.
Damn.

No. There might have been some namedropping, but as you said yourself it was DLH that was the priority. So you fail.
LMAO!And when RJ was fighting his bum-of-the-month club opponents prior to Ruiz (who was simply a bigger bum), RJ was talked about fighting overseas stars Darius Mickelchski and Joe Calzage, but he wouldn't go abroad to do it for fear of being robbed. You don't remember any of those debates among media and fans?
1: Roy never wanted to go overseas
2: Ottke was just about retired at the time
3: Roy was thought of as an opponent for Michalszewski anyway. Not Calzaghe.
So you fail again.Comment

I'm doing a lotta defending of Ward, mainly because Froch's fans are delusional and ******. But ultimately, Ward is at fault for the situation he's in. He has options, he just doesn't wanna take them because he doesn't wanna leave the comfort zone (the super middleweight division that's he's already laid waste to.) Ward could easily move up to light heavy and start cleaning out that division. Instead, he'd rather sit back and wait for middleweight stars to come to him. That's on him. But ultimately, all he's gonna have while he's waiting is chasing around recycled victims like Froch that really want no part of him.
As for Froch, as long as he's fighting in the same division as Ward, he'll need Ward more to be relevant, no matter how many "options" he has. Because regardless of whom he fights and beats, the question will always remain, "when are you gonna fight Ward?" Because seeing Ward, he can't be considered the best. And that's in a P4P sense too. Ward is gonna be a thorn in his ass that's never going away. No matter how much he or his fans try and downplay and dismiss it.Comment

He already won the belt at home. They moved him along quickly because of his age, same thing they're doing with Stevenson.Indeed. And you don't give him credit. That's mindboggling since most would have milked their newly won belt with an easy defense at home. Why can't you understand that?

Froch deserves credit but not more credit than everybody else. Trout won his title against a mexican in Mexico and most of his defenses were away from his home state, Cunningham fought most of his title fights outside of his home country, same goes for GGG. Kessler fought Mundine in Australia, Calzaghe in Wales, Ward in the U.S. and Froch in the UK, he's more of a road warrior than Froch. Why is Froch considered such a god of war for doing what a lot of fighters are doing?Last edited by Light_Speed; 06-20-2013, 07:58 AM.Comment

OK buddy. If you think during Calzage's decade long reign as super middleweight champ, Ottke was the better guy, that's on you. But if a poll is taken among historians. I'd say that historically Calzage will rate a lil bit higher than Ottke P4P and as a super middleweight. #sarcasimComment
