Abraham was meant to kill him, Bute was going to K.O him he was the underdog for these. Groves was given a great shot and in the rematch. Most experts was saying they was too fast, too skilled etc and he proved them wrong now you're looking back and dismissing his wins against world class fighters at the time for most part that was supposed to beat easily.
Also are you only saying Pascal is good because Kovalev might be fighting him next?
If Carl Froch has a weak resume then just about every fighter in the sport does.
No.. no, no. I'm not saying he has a weak resume! Froch has a great resume because he beat the top fighters in his division.
What I'm saying is HE is overrated BECAUSE of his resume. Because his division was weak and while he did indeed beat the top fighters of his division.... how good were they? Minus Bute, Pascal and Dirrell..... how good are Abraham, Kessler, etc, anyway? (Kessler's only notable win is Froch, which is part of my point)
He gets overrated because he beat the best, but the best wasn't really that good, IMO, and then when you actually look at him from a talent perspective... How good is he really? Ring IQ-Stamina-Chin are his best "skills"

What I'm saying is that's why all these wins by these guys are so "great." Cause they were against top fighters. But no one ever thought about what these fighters did well and if they were actually special fighters.
They all fought each other and made it to the top of the division- but Kessler, for example has no notable wins besides Carl Froch.
He's not a special fighter. The guys I'm talking about aren't special fighters and were fortunate to be in a terrible divison.
That is what I am saying.
