Exaggerating? Maybe...I have watched guys like Mayorga, Carlos Maussa..honestly, I think he's slightly better than Maussa.
This guy was so woeful against Kessler, I ask myself every time I watch him how he ever won a world title?? (I have some idea's why which I'm gonna mention)
Kessler was nowhere near his best and still thoroughly beat Froch..I can't see how anybody could have even thought about giving the fight to Froch? He had a few good rounds towards the end of the fight but I didn't think the judge was too far off calling it a 117-111.
If Froch would have got the nod in Nottingham, I would have called that a blatant robbery.
I've seen people throw shots with better technique in the their first day at a boxing gym. How many times did this idiot throw a shot which missed completely and squared him up leaving him way out of position?
In fact he nearly got knocked out when this happened once I think it was the 5th or 8th (I mix up when Kessler slipped down)
How about the time when he missed and did a complete 360? Awful!!
He has piss poor hand speed, piss poor defence, piss poor technique and piss poor reflexes
How has someone so bad been undefeated for so long and even won a world title?
Well he's lucky for being blessed with certain attributes..
The main ones are his stupidly long arms which sometimes allows him to get away with having zero defence and also gives him that "ball and chain" power like Hearns had.
Secondly, he has good stamina. He should be saying "Thank Fuck" every single day for his stamina or he'd have been exposed a long time ago.
Thirdly, a fair chin. I say fair because he can be knocked out. Just you watch. Kessler wobbled and punished him for his recklessness. Direll also wobbled him with a shot he didn't see because of his lack of defence. Taylor dropped him too.
By and large though, he takes big shots well. When he doesn't see them though, which is often due to being so wild, he is vulnerable.
Anyway, rant over but the reason this guy get's to me so much is that his ego is out of control. Pure delusion. I've never seen anything like it...Hatton, Audley and Calzaghe have nothing on this guy!
No doubt some of you will stick up for old Frochy, but please, tell me honestly what it is about this guy that is going over my head apart from the fact his recklessness leads to tons of leather being smashed upon his stupid his face? (Which is fairly entertaining, yes)
