Originally posted by HeroBando View PostNo but you put Froch down for never dominating a division. I pointed out that 50% of Haye's cruiser domination was vs a guy that makes Glassman Bute look like Chuvalo
As far as Haye's opposition at cruiserweight, he beat Mormeck who was the man in the division at the time.

Originally posted by BafanaBafana View PostI put him down not just for not dominating 168 but for losing to the best opposition in his weight class and because of his way overrated performances, all this ridiculous hype didn't start until he beat Bute. The guy lost to a one-armed Andre Ward by a near shutout, lost to Kessler, lost to Dirrell but got a gift hometown decision. As far as his wins he beat two 160 pounders moving up in weight: Taylor (who was easily out-boxing him for the vast majority of the fight) and the wide punching Arthur Abraham. He's 35-36, and in all that time he was never able to dominate or become recognized as the top ranked guy at 168.

Yes, I remember Mormeck got to be the man by running out the clock in the Bell rematch. He made it out on his feet that time, with a little help from the hometown timekeeper. The guy gets a ton of mileage for a title reign with only Mormeck and Enzo in it. Froch was never undisputed at 168, regardless his run is far better than Haye's at cruiser.

Looks like Froch vs. Kessler II will happen in early 2013.
It's a very important fight for Froch's legacy.
