Comments Thread For: Carl Froch: I'm Certainly Not Moving Up, No Stevenson

NOW Stevenson has really no way to turn, look in front of you pimp... there's Kovalev. No excuse now not fight him.

I agree, and Kovalev will KO him out.....

Stevenson said he would come down to 168 for a Froch fight. He's a career super middleweight after all.

Stevenson's team said no shortly after that. I don't think he fights at 168 ever again.

Pascal/Bute winner all day. Kovlev brings a belt but no bread.

Smart choice for Froch imo, especially at this point in his career

If Groves was able to put him on the floor just imagine what Stevenson would do

[Boxing Goat]

So should Groves rematch Degale then?

Maybe, once one of them pics up a belt.

I don't know if you Limey's are aware of it but you are up to your arses in *********s. We may have a ****** problem in America, but you fuggers are kissing the arses of ****** pigs. Thank you for your support, but I'll take ****** over Islam any day. And your fighters suck. Barker is the only man willing to fight out of his country. That's saying a lot since you f a g s are so chicken with your proper English and mamby pamby BS.

Do you blow your father with that mouth?

To be fair, he has been consistent on the weight issue (or at least his team has).

weight really isn't much of an issue. it's more of a distraction/excuse than a real barrier. 168 to 175 isn't much. 7 lbs on a guy that big isn't like 7 lbs on a bantamweight.

stevenson only moved up to 175 in his mid - late 30's himself. he and froch are very similar in size. kovalev and ward, too. ward takes off a good amount of weight to make 168. kovalev was 173.5 against cleverly, so we know he isn't shedding a dangerous amount to get to the 175 limit.


i don't think that weight will keep those four from fighting each other. in froch's case, he wants to plan an exit. in ward's case, he doesn't want to take the risk unless there's a ton of money in it. he can make 2 million on hbo fighting edwin rodriguez, so he won't take the same amount for kovalev or pimp steven, who are much bigger risks. two million isn't much less than HBO's top dollar, either. they literally couldn't afford stevenson and ward on regular hbo, adn woudl have to have it on ppv.

life changes. a thug changes.

froch took on all comers. now froch does not.

i'm not going to sh#T on a 36 year old, who is clearly slowing after a long career of taking punches in victory and defeat, for planning an exit strategy.
