...Manfredo = 2 fights at super middle

In the last 2.5 years he's fought 3 times and only once against a man his own weight...and is now fighting another, much much smaller and slower opponent - How can that be defended on this forum? a forum made up of GENUINE boxing fans Forget money (otherwise we might as well talk about LA Galaxy being a great football club)

People may mock Froch - but i admire him.

He is prepared to go the traditional route, English, British, Commonwealth, European & World titles...

Add to that his amateur career (he has medalled at many many events) and you have a good, strong pedigree.

He is instilling respect in the belts again - not jumping straight in for a phony WBU trinket - he's gone on record saying he'd never bother with them and would retire without a world belt than that.

Froch is not in a position to pick & choose his opponents like Joe Calzaghe - he will have to fight all the dangerous unbeaten boys en route to wherever he's going.

He is ranked inside the Top 5 with the WBC, WBA, IBF & WBO...

Far higher than Bika, Ashira & Manfredo - who have been and gone in the same space of time that Froch has called Joe out.
thats all well and good but froch keeps his hands low constantly and with someone who has fast combos and is very active fighter throwing like 60+ punches a round thats dangerous
