This has probably been hashed before...but who do you guys think are currently the most protected fighters? I bring this up because of my desire to see a live Chris John fight. He's a one hemisphere wonder!

That behemoth Tye Fields immediately jumps to mind. KO'd in 1 by the "dangerous" Monte Barrett!

Chris John
Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.

Alexander Dimitrenko...

Yeah he hasn't stepped up as he should have but to be honest he's chinny and doesn't have much power.


I would say that Chagaev and Valuev seem to be off in their own protected version of the heavyweight division, one which doesn't include: Wlad Klitschko, Sam Peter, or anyone else that can punch.

Felix Sturm, Arthur Abraham, Amin Asikainen, Sebastian Sylvester, and all the other Europeans in the middleweight division!

James McGirt Jr.
Aaron Pryor Jr.
Amir Kahn


DAVID HAYE at heavyweight....you don't have a right to call out the best in a weight class you haven't even fought in.

[Bomp]

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.

They expected Berrio to take the fight at 10 days notice, an (admittedly limited)
former champ asked to be an opponent to an up and comer in his home town, he did precisley what anyone else would, tell him to fuck off.

Carl Froch is shite too.....anyone associated with Frank Warren is bound to have a padded record.


Ricky Hatton was protected for a long damn time as well as was Joe Calzaghe....fighting a 40 year old Bernard Hopkins and Roy Jones Jr. when you had every opportunity to fight them earlier is pretty shiesty

[Master]

Froch is not with Warren.

[El Kabong]

Then what's his excuse? Why is he being such a pussy and fighting bums


England sure does enjoy wasting everyone's time with bullshit fighters who talk big games and then fail under pressure

[TitoFan]

Didn't want too much time to pass before mentioning Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.'s name again.

As you have pointed out it is a European thing, why fight someone difficult when you can make a lot of money fighting poor fighters in your own country.
