avfc1982am Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 13 minutes ago, Follyfoot said: The thing I like about Froch is how brutally honest he was throughout his career, put his hands up regarding Ward and admitted he would never beat him in a month of Sundays. His take to the Groves fights and his total respect for Kessler as a warrior. I could watch the Kessler matches 1000 times and never get bored. Loses some points however for the that thing who screeched in his corner constantly On a side note, loved the super 6 Funnily enough I was never really a fan of Froch when he fighting, yet appreciate him more now. I just felt he was slow asf and technically all over the shop, but I think he knew that anyway, ultimately he was a brawler by nature. The one thing that he can never be denied, was that he had a chin and a half and could also stand and bang. He also had some great wins against Taylor and Kessler especially. The biggest compliment I could give Froch was if you weren't on point you'd be some serious trouble. A very honest fighter if not the most gifted. Froch v Benn would've been a brutal fight. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So he keeps saying Groves gave Froch a good fight, although I never thought Groves ever looked like a boxer. The sort of guy you'd give it back to, if he called you out in the bar, unknowingly he'd Knock you the FO, before you finished your sentance.

Muhammad Ali never looked like a boxer, neither did Don Curry, but they were two special boxers in their prime. You could say the same for both Sugar Rays. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't let that detach from the fact he had a seriously tough upbringing. Eubank has/had a seriously dark side which is why he was so f****** nails. Once Ronny Davies gave him a slap in the corner the switch would flick and he'd dig deep and then bury you in the hole. I was all about Benn as a youth because he was exciting to watch and then I thought Eubank was a weird fish. Funny really because I met Benn later on in passing and thought he was a bit of a c*** which really disappointed me. Steve Collins, was also a bit moody but I was little pissed when a pal introduced us in Bizzy Lizzies back in the day. Eubank I met at a show in Brentwood and what a gent, very similar to Bruno, another who never needed to act the tough guy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheepyvillian Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 Let's hope the Garcia v Haney fight is as heated as the face - off. I'm looking forward to it. Garcia certainly has the power and speed to make it a very competitive fight, I just wonder if he has the durability to take the fight into those rounds where experience could be the deciding factor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that supposed to avoid being "spoilt for choice," honestly, I would rather watch a replay of a frame of snooker between Terry Griffiths and Graham Miles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joshua should follow him. This farce with Ngannu makes zero sense in terms of his boxing career. I would laugh my niagras off if he got beat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of them don't even look like boxers, more like doormen. I mean, Zhang is as old as Foreman when he beat Moorer. It's crazy, you would think as time has gone by, the heavyweights would have got better, but they have kind of regressed, to the point where they bore the pants off the viewer.

I really enjoyed the Parker Wilder fight. Totally unexpected result and performance, so hoping they go toe to toe. Parker went up in my estimation, a great deal after that. It was decent entertainment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
