i agree with the people saying that Froch's chin has been a bit overrated, but people are now talking like he is chinny as hell. where has this come from? I think he has a decent, solid chin. not cast from steel, but decent nonetheless. limestone perhaps.

And all after a fight he was never hurt in. He got floored heavily by Taylor and his chin was granite

You make good points!

Some thoughts. Dirrell fights Abraham in America next and has the potential to repeat his Froch performance against Abraham and if he can avoid getting KOd then he can get a decision. I think Abraham will catch up to him at some point though.

Kessler must be thinking after wtching the Froch fight that he needs to win a really wide decision or score a KO to win in America against Ward. If it's in any way close he's almost certainly going to get on the wrong end of the decision.

Froch is going to be in big trouble against Kessler and Abraham.

Some more Super Six thoughts. Look how the first half of the page is Super Six threads. It's got boxing fans energised, it's definitely going to bring in new fans. Imagine how good it would be for boxing if they did one of these in every division. And it's affordable. The $50 million number Showtime were talking about was nonsense. That sounds like an estimate of how much all the first round of fights will gross. (HBO's entire sports budget for 2010 is $50-55 million and they dwarf Showtime.) Showtime have put this together by paying each fighter a million dollars TV money for three fights, plus the cost of advertising it.

HBO are contracted guarantee Golden Boy exclusive dates into 2011 despite all their prospects being wiped out and them mainly relying on pensioner power now. They piaid three million for the Dawson Tarver rematch and spent a bunch on advertising it, they could have had half a Super Six with that. Hopefully in 2011 HBO tell all the promoters to eff off, they're going to have to put their guys in Super Six-style tournaments throughout the weight divisions.
