How Far Away Is Froch From Being a Pound 4 Pounder?

[ICB]

I didn't say he didn't look good against those fighters, i said i don't think he looked as good as he did at Featherweight. And he's getting busted up more, i feel he's pushing his luck at Lightweight and moving up against any top Jr Welterweight would be a big no/no.

But i still feel he performed very well against those fighters, although it was a struggle he showed alot of bottle and stopped both of them in impressive fashion.

But i do feel he is showing his age a bit more, because he never used to get busted like that and he never used to take as many punches. Plus he used to be a sharper counter puncher.

JMM was ahead in both fights against Casamayor, Diaz, when he stopped them. Thats bit different being atleast 4 rounds behind going into the last round. Needing a JCC/Meldrick Taylor type stoppage to rescue the win.

Most people had Carl Froch losing to Andre Dirrell, the only people who have Carl Froch winning. Is because Carl Froch was coming forward and because Andre Dirrell fought going backwards.

They can't actually come up with a good reason why they thought, Carl Froch won other than that. But when your coming forward you have to actually land punches. Andre Dirrell was outboxing Carl Froch. He had him hurt, and he made it his kind of fight.

I'd say about 10 percent of people had Carl Froch winning, and out of that 10 percent none of them have ever gave me good reason why they think he won.

As for Carl Froch vs Mikkel Kessler, again a very small amount think Carl Froch won. And i really don't know how they think that.

Mikkel Kessler used a good steady attack, with decent body punching and decent jabbing. To outwork and outhustle Carl Froch. And if there was any doubt in the scoring, Mikkel Kessler won the last round to seal the deal.

In both fights Carl Froch lost by atleast 3 rounds IMO.

From my memory that was a flash knockdown vs Kelly Pavlik, where the feet got tangled up not really a knockdown. Sergio Martinez dominated early, then Kelly Pavlik comeback a bit in the middle rounds.

But after that flash knockdown Sergio Martinez put a beating on Kelly Pavlik, making his face look a mess. It was a pretty clear win for Sergio Martinez, at no time in the fight was he behind and he won by atleast 4 rounds, nothing like Froch/Taylor plus Sergio Martinez moved up a weightclass.

Well Kermit Cintron is a big puncher and a good athlete, he lacks the heart and the mental game. But he he ain't a bad fighter at all, and Sergio Martinez not only deserved a KO win over Kermit Cintron, he deserved a decision win and got neither.

Again i don't think anyone who has watched the fight, would consider that anything else than a KO win for Sergio Martinez.

Paul Williams is a top 10 P4P fighter and as i said, considered the best Jr Middleweight. Going even with Paul Williams makes Sergio Martinez look good and should make him rate higher.

As for your last comment i agree, i want to see the young fighters become superstars. Im really excited about Bradley, Mares, Lopez, and yes even Khan.


Sorry couldn't quote you, it said there were too many words.
