Jeez Eric you don't half talk some drivel! If they had different routes, we'd be looking at a different champion by now? What on earth are you on about??

You're that typical Brit that probably thought if Hatton fought Mayweather with a different referee (preferably Ray Hatton), fought him in his backyard, where Floyd wasn't allowed to keep punching Ricky in the face and the ring was the size of a matchbox...Hatton would have won.

Ward was easily the best fighter in that tournament, let's give him his props here.

Simple facts about Froch :

is he a good fighter? Yes
is he a great fighter? No
Does he have a great chin, heart and exciting style? Yes
Does he fight anyone put in front of him even if it meant fighting Vitali Klitchsko? Yes
Does he have a better record than Calzaghe did with only having had just over half the fights? Yes

Froch is to be respected and is good for boxing but somebody hit the nail on the head with the losing everytime he steps up comment. He's not as great as he thinks he is BUT he has beaten some good fighters due to his stamina and punching power. He is a very limited boxer though. Fun to watch.

He may be able to wear Bute down late if he doesn't keep getting caught throughout the fight (which I doubt). Although he has a wonderful chin, I'm not of the opinion that Froch is Un-knockoutable.

It's a good fight.
