Re: The weakest weightclass in boxing?
I would not even give Froch a chance with Bute, Kessler or Calzaghe either way though he is the same as Bika is not better or worse until he beats someone. Because i respect a guy that loses to the best then fighters that beat up on old as guys should not been fighting.
Re: The weakest weightclass in boxing?
The most basic fact is that you can't judge a fighter until he faces his biggest challenges, and that is why Froch is ranked above Bika. Bika has faced those challenges and lost, Froch is yet to.
It doesn't mean that Froch will achieve any more than Bika, but I think that Froch has more chance against Bute that Bika would in a rematch, and would also have more chance against Kessler, though I believe they'd both lose.
Re: The weakest weightclass in boxing?
Well Bika has been doing alright he is on the comback he will never be the best but he get back there again Froch and Bika should fight think that be good.

I think we really have to wait and see what Froch does in his eliminator with Denis Inkin, which will surely be the biggest challenge that he will face so far in his career. Should he win that one, and Calzaghe vacates, Bika would have to be in the mix as one of the opponents for Froch in a fight for that vacant title.
Re: The weakest weightclass in boxing?
Fair enough i guess we will know soon enough so i will just wait and see how good he is.
Re: The weakest weightclass in boxing?
But until Froch actual fights a fighter that is a real threat to me he is just talk i hope he does fight Bika i think it be a good fight.

So you wouldn't consider Denis Inkin a threat to him? Inkin's been fighting decent European fighters trying to get anyone of note to fight him for three or four years now, and has picked up some reasonable names on the way. That's the eliminator that has been scheduled and both fighters will have to make it happen, so I don't see where this obsession with Bika is coming from.
Re: The weakest weightclass in boxing?
Well if not Bika then Lacy or Bute Froch has been taking his time to much reason i am saying that.

Well just add Bika to that list as well then. It's not meant to be a 'who's best in the division' list but rather just a quick highlighting of some of the most high profile fighters and why I think it's a great division. If you like Bika too and Codrington for that matter then it just makes it more exciting still.
I love the 168 lb division right now, my favourite division after welterweight.
Re: The weakest weightclass in boxing?
Yea it pretty hard to beat welter they have so many layers for any division to surpass welter any time soon.
Re: The weakest weightclass in boxing?
154 is talented
cruiserweights bell and haye are going to heavyweight there not much interest
Re: The weakest weightclass in boxing?
For me it's got to be the heavyweights just a bunch of over fed bouncers a fit David Haye can clean up this lot if he takes his punch power with him & keeps his chin down
Re: The weakest weightclass in boxing?
Honestly i would not give Haye much of a chance with a guy like Wald but a good chance against the rest of the lot though.
Re: The weakest weightclass in boxing?
But we have not really even seen him in action in the weight so lets just see how good he is but till then we know nothing because he has not fought anyone
