Froch opponent announced: Yusef Mack

[Dropanuke]

No chance! Froch has no business at that weight. He is a natural super mid weight. Cleverly should fight Hopkins etc but he wont because he won't travel like froch. Froch has nothing to prove at domestic level. Cleverly hasn't proved yet and fighting froch isn't the answer but granted would be a big scalp.
Calzaghe didn't give froch a chance so why should froch give cleverly a chance

ha, is this some kind of england v wales thing?

i dont see the two as being related

if froch was offered enough money i am sure he would consider it

You are right as id get in the ring with prime Tyson bare fist if you gave me enough money. England vs Wales? What an odd thing to think.
Maybe cleverly should come down to 168? Oh I forgot he can't do it even though a 42 year old glen Johnson can?? That's what's odd

[CFH]

Quite an easy fight for Carl, although I guess he deserves one. Think he'll ever fight Cleverly?

Froch - Cleverly wouldn't last 5 rounds. It would be an absolute slaughter.

I wouldn't find that particularly odd, mainly because Cleverly is five inches taller than Johnson and has a larger build. He was 19 when he last fought at SMW, and he was little more than a skinny kid who was still growing back then.

If it's not to do with England v Wales, why make the Calzaghe / Cleverly comparison?

As for Froch v Mack, it's nice for Froch to get a reasonably well-known name who should be fairly straightforward for him to enjoy as a hometown fighter.

Right we will start a collection, I'll put in a fiver to get things rolling.

If you Want to think its enGland vs Wales then call it karma!! If cleverly can make 168 then do so but froch doesn't need to go up for that belt which has little relevance unless you unify it with another belt to make the guy holding it worth something!! Does Dawson look interested in fighting clev? No!! Cos there are bigger and better things out there.

Kessler has had tons of fights like this , in his own back yard,
about time Froch had a easy night.

Mack? The guy that always does well but his chin lets him down in the big fights?

[THE PHILOSOPHER]

I won't be surprised if Mack is ahead on the cards when Froch stops him.

HAHAHAHAHA Give up!

[CFH]

I won't be surprised if Mack is ahead on the cards when Froch stops him.

HAHAHAHAHA Give up!

Carl Froch is probably my favourite fighter and I expect him to catch up to Mack at some point and stop him (probably in the mid/late rounds when Mack starts to slow), but Mack has shown some slick boxing skills and Froch is hardly Pernell Whitaker. IMO, Mack takes the early rounds and makes Froch look bad until Froch's pressure wears him down and Mack gasses like usual.

Because back then Froch was seen as green at world level (like cleverly is now) and calzaghe had had a string of high profile title bouts (like froch now)?...

You don't see the simularities in level? Calzaghe's excuse for avoiding Froch was that he was not on his level... Froch is obviously levels above cleverly who was handed his belt and hasn't really fought anybody yet.

Froch is the best British world champion of the last decade in my humble opinion.

I respect your opinion but Calzaghe wouldnt have let Ward dictate the way he did, or lose, or lose to Kessler for that matter.

I understand what you are saying,Calzaghe was a superb boxer,but as you know
he didnt face top draw fighters in their prime.Losing against brilliant fighters like
ward is not a bad thing ,nearly every fighter has a loss,its what you learn from
that,thats what matters,and Froch would beat Kessler now ,And if in tip top condition
and different tactics would push Ward a lot closer.
