    are you making your own rules up on the thread now dude?

    It's pretty fucking simple. Froch held the title for three fights (if you want to count the fight with pascal).. 2 of which weren't against anyone in the top 5 of the division, and the third time he was given an absolute gift of a decision. No way he's ever been number 1 in his division.

    Bruno was never the best Heavyweight in the world. At the time he was WBC champ, George Foreman had the lineal title & Riddick Bowe was the only one you could argue was a better HW at that point.

    Carl Froch has never really had a hold on the #1 spot at 168, as at least one of Kessler, Bute & Ward have all been ranked above him whilst he was WBC champ.

    Being on a wind-up is fine if you're funny with it, but you just aren't mate.

    We've already got Hammer who does the whole patriotic fool schtick that you're trying to run with, and to be honest he does it much better, because it's just enough that you're not sure whether he's serious or pulling your leg.

    You need to go away, read his posts & understand how to step up your game

    Yes and as I recall it was Haggler that beat Minter to win the title and become the best middleweight at the time. Ergo before the fight Minter was the guy of the division.
