    Default Carl Froch beat an overhyped and untested Bute.. should rematch Direll

    This forum is buzzing with Carl Froch "He's an animal" "What's next for him" and such. But honestly I still see him getting dominated by Ward and losing to Direll as I felt he did when they first fought.. So how about a rematch of that controversial fight? I'm not trying to be an asshole but I'm not really impress with the fight.. Bute was untested he had beaten an old Johnson and fought against C level competition like Bika, Miranda, Brinkley.. I mean this was his real top test and he clearly failed. That however doesnt tell me much about Froch it tells me more about how overrated Bute was. If anything this just let's us know how far above the competition Andre Ward is. Don't get me wrong Froch is a great fighter but will never be the top dog at his divison as long as the Andres are around. If anything we should be talking about Kesslers last fight..

    Froch's legacy isn't built of what he did to Bute. The Bute fight is just tasty climax to a culmination of tough fights year in year out.

    Froch might not be the most decorated fighter in the division but he has sure as hell earned his stripes, so to suggest that he needs to DO anything is just nonsense.

    Dirrell doesn't deserve shit, he comes to Nottingham to try and steal the belt and then shits out of the super 6 tournament. Fair enough the guy has talent but he's just wasted it with such a long lay off. Froch has fought and beaten most of the best fighters out there, give him a break and look what he has accomplished when not many gave him a chance.

    Even ward says Froch deserves credit for what he has done and he gave ward the toughest fight of his career. So what does he need to prove really?

    You put him in the ring with Dirrell again what's going to happen? Probably the same thing as last
    Time cos Dirrell will try and spoil his way to a win because that's the way he fights.

    Froch needs to be cementing his legacy rematching a true fighter in Kessler and giving the boxing fans a real rematch, not a shitty Dirrell rematch who would make a negative fight.

    Is Dirrell even fighting anymore? If I were Froch, I wouldn't even bother with that whiny chump Dirrell, high risk, low reward. Carl should go for a rematch, first with Kessler and then with that holy sack of shit "SOG" Ward, both in Nottingham or Manchester.

    As for Bute not being legit, that's just fucking nonsense, give Froch the credit he deserves.

    Exactly who cares about Dirrell, he needs to sort himself out and actually have a fight for once. Froch needs to be fighting Kessler in the UK, end of the story thats the only fight that makes sense for Froch now, Kessler Would have loved to beat Bute but Froch did it for him so bring on the rematch.

    Dirrell has the potential to be great, but he needs to put it all together. He is at risk of being forgotten. Dirrell should get in the ring with Bika, if Bika beats Davis, or Adonis Stevenson, someone who has a high ranking with an alphabet organization and who has a name.

    I actually more or less agree with Tam here. I thought there was no real way to score the first fight for Froch, but Dirrell's tactics were almost deplorable to me and if he'd rather win that way than box I don't care to see it again. I can't say it wouldn't interest me a bit, as I feel both men are much more capable than they showed that night, but chances are it would be another total stinker.

    Dirrell is shit, and no one was saying Bute was overhyped before
    he got battered by Froch.

    Froch should never fight Dirrell again ever.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Please never.

    Why would you want to watch that shit again? Like watching Haye vs Valuev 2.

    Actually a few people on the forum were sayin he's overhyped/overrated/unproven, I certainly wasn't one of them and never envisioned froch to crush him the way he did.

    I think we can say froch is just the man. He's proved he can box as good as the best boxers and that he is a super middle weight version of PAC man. Please quote this!!

    I guess that makes Andre Ward Mayweather? ... See this is exactly why I posted this thread because people are making it seem like this guy is now the king of the division when in fact I'd say they are atleast 3 other fighters better than him in HIS division

    Please... Saying Froch needs to fight Dire-ll is like saying Amir Khan needs to fight prescott again.

    Why does he deserve a shot, its been years and he's fallen off the map.

    Direll has a lot of talent, but the way he carried himself during the super six leaves a lot to be desired and Froch has far and away surpassed anything Direll has ever done.

    The lay off hurt him.
