*The*Field*Marshall* 674 Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 3rd round is what I'm thinking. Froch has got the bit between his teeth, can't see him being denied, just a matter of when he catches him. looking to give bute another warning before the rematch .... I wonder if Bute will want the rematch after that tonight stig. . It's one thing getting beaten on the road, quite another being beaten at home. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bird 9,868 Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 Well done to both lads, any f**ker will say they'll get in the ring, but anyone who's been there will know it takes guts Spot on , when a teen had go with the gloves , had a dozen or so fights won them, its ok when things are going your way, when not thats when you need (guts) to dig in.not every body can Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BULLDOUG 199 Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 Ive not read the thread, but I have to say Gnasher, Calzahge had a big heart IMO, he was never beat, he dug deep and proved time and time again that he was the best. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gnasher16 30,046 Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 When did he ever have to prove he had a big heart ? his style of fighting,speed,pure ability and engine meant he never had to come from behind to guts out a win with heart alone........and he never had to come back from a loss...........so where is the big heart........ Different things appeal to different people....for me high achivement with limited ability will always be much more impressive than high achivement with god given talent.......but each to their own of course.

ferretville 69 Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 Rematch with andre ward is a must i think ward is the only man in frochs way imho 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mighty celt 996 Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 (edited) well done froch, i think froch should take on bute if bute wants it,then a rematch with kessler,then he should be ready for ward, he is commiting alot more to his attacks now and on his night with his power could beat ward, id rate froch better then calazaghe,froch has fought the best in there back yards and never ducked [NO TEXT TALK],well joe did,fought them all when they were past there best.and wouldnt fight froch when he was calling him out for so long because he didnt want to lose.

pip1968 2,490 Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 Not to jump into someone elses debate.......but personally i dont think Froch is a particularly great fighter,he has no great skills,no real ability..........................but if you have boxed yourself sweater then you will be with me and admire the qualities it takes for a man without great natural talent to reach the very highest level of his sport............one of the things i admire most about Froch is he doesnt fear a loss like many fighters these days,one being the Welshman you made reference to......Calzaghe would beat Froch with one hand behind his back on a monday tuesday and during his lunch break on wednesday for skills and ability.......but he couldnt touch him for fighting heart and pure competetive spirit......and for simple folk like me and maybe you who never made it to any great heights in the sport........that holds a lot of weight. Myself i think Froch has the beating of anybody out there bar Ward...........and is the most exciting fighter Britain has produced for many years. gnash i dont think he has the beating of kesler or ward Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stealthy1 3,964 Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 Well done Frotch, I'd like to see Frotch fight Kessler and Ward, dont know if Frotch has a beef with Ward, seems to want him next Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gnasher16 30,046 Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 (edited) gnash i dont think he has the beating of kesler or ward You might be right Pip.....i just think the gap in class between Froch/Kessler was not as massive as with Froch/Ward.....and without doubt Froch has improved since Kessler whereas maybe Kessler hasnt......... Personally i think he should leave Bute out if he is not contractually obliged to give him a return he has nothing to prove there ..... with the amount of miles Froch has on the clock he needs to make every fight he has left count now...............you have to admire his desire,planning out 3 top quality fights for next year.......good luck to him he,s like a breath of fresh air.

He is contractually bound with that one. I think Bute wants it? But is it really wise? He got his arse handed to him in Nottingham and Froch doesn't scare as easily as others do when in other peoples back yards so there's not gonna be that big home advantage for Bute. I think last night was a bit of a message to Bute to forget the rematch so Froch can get straight onto clearing his record. Lets see what 2013 has for the Nottingham lad.....
