    Agree

    Anthony Mundine. Now not earlier in his career.
    The Petersons seem fairly protected.
    Valuev earlier in career.

    The thing is, JCC Jnr didn't have an amateur career and Khan is just a prospect. Pretty much all prospects are protected....especially when they have youth on their side. Surely it's more sensible for a fighter to learn the professional game properly, then to throw themselves in at the deep end.

    The ams are a lot different to the pro's, so to me i see no problem in any decorated amatuer taking their time.

    The Peterson bro's and Andre Ward are doing the same thing and imo it's the right thing to do.

    Maybe if the fans and media didn't over-react to every loss and bad performance, we'd actually see prospects in more competitive fights. Just a thought.

    To be fair it's not Froch's fault. Fail to see how he's over-protected when he's only had 23 fights. It's not his fault opponents pull out on a regular basis.

    Yeah, that's what I thought ono.

    How can Froch be a protected fighter when no one will fight him? Taylors people (Lou Dibella) ADMITTED they'd sooner fight Lacy, not just for the money, because he's the EAISER option.

    Inkin has pulled out twice against him in the past year. Pretty sure Berrio accepted then changed his mind.

    I'm not much of a Froch fan, he seriously needs to land a fight, but protected fighter is - crap.

    Ok Inkin pulled out but the guy is ranked no1 by the WBC its crazy.

    He should have had a B level test by not he aint wheres the likes of Bika, Mundine, Berrio, Zuniga? all guys that travel and fight anyone. Froch maybe good but the moron tries to clown Calzaghe and Kessler but he aint done shit.

    So why did Berrio pull out of fighting him then?

    If those who you mentioned are B level fighters, so is the guy who Froch mullered isnide 2 rounds last year.
